Frankly, unless they're representing America, I find the "of America" unneccessary and potentially inaccurate. Especially the JL of this show, which had their headquarters up in a satelite in outer space. By the time they expanded their roster, they were including international heroes so I don't see how the "of America" would've even been accurate.
I'm not suggesting that "of America" should be left off for some silly political reason like I know I'll be accused of, but any team that has a Martian, a Kryptonian, a Themysciran, an Atlantean, and a representative of an intergalactic police force on it just doesn't sound strictly "American" to me.
However, I have thought that an intriguing political plot line could be written with nations using superheroes as their new arms race (picture a JLA appointed by Congress to compete with a Justice League of China and a Justice League of the European Union). If that's not already an existing story, that is.
