The freedom of the American press is an object many of us cherish. We proudly compare ourselves to other countries using the standard of the perception that we have perceived unabridged liberty of expression in our media. Despite this, the freedom of our press is more hype than reality. With the exception of a few independent newsletters and micro publishers there is no free press in America. The illusion of freedom of the press has perhaps never been better articulated by anyone than journalist John Swinton. In the late 19th century, he was honored a banquet given him by his peers. A toast was made by one of his fellows to the independent press. Swinton then responded with the truth about ...

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Friday he's angry about being put through a long-running criminal investigation into his role in the firings of U.S. attorneys. "I feel angry that I had to go through this. That my family had to suffer through and what for?" Gonzales said in an interview with CNN. The investigation by career prosecutor Nora Dannehy that began in September 2008 found the Justice Department's actions in the firings of U.S. attorney David Iglesias of New Mexico during the Bush administration were inappropriately political, but not criminal. The investigative team also determined that the evidence did not warrant expanding the scope of the ...

Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch native charged with killing a Peruvian woman and extorting money from the mother of missing U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, may have even more legal problems ahead. Earlier this month, the National Enquirer reported on van der Sloot's alleged involvement in sex trafficking in Thailand. Now Peru's minister of justice has confirmed that Thai authorities are pursuing criminal charges against van der Sloot, according to CBS News. Thai authorities are pursuing criminal charges against Joran van der Sloot for his alleged involvement with sex trafficking in the country, officials say.

Joe Biden update: He's fined $219,000 for campaign violations July 19, 2010 | 10:08 am Due to an unfortunate (and no doubt accidental) error of timing, the news of a nearly quarter-million-dollar federal fine levied against the vice president of the United States, Joe "What Checks?" Biden, was announced Friday -- a hot summer day when hardly anyone was paying attention to anything but the tempting weekend at the next exit. The lifetime politician himself was off raising money for Democrats in Nashville at the time, and the president, Barack Obama, was out of town on another family vacation not on the gulf coast. Biden returns to the political money-raising trail again this ...

Did Thomas Perez Testify Truthfully? Jennifer Rubin - 07.16.2010 - 10:00 AM J. Christian Adams, the former Justice Department attorney who was a key member of its New Black Panther litigation team, made a splash when he testified that the Civil Rights Division under Obama is hostile to filing civil rights cases that don’t follow the historic pattern — i.e., a white defendant violating minorities’ rights. (Helpful summaries are found here and here.) It is, if accurate, far more explosive than the dismissal of an isolated case, as egregious as the withdrawal of a default judgment against the New Black Panthers was. The notion that civil rights laws can’t or shouldn’t ...

2008 voter-intimidation case against New Black Panthers riles the right By Krissah Thompson Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, July 15, 2010 A 2008 voter-intimidation case has become a political controversy for the Obama administration as conservative lawyers, politicians and commentators raise concerns that the Department of Justice has failed to protect the civil rights of white voters. The discussion centers on whether the Justice Department's civil rights division mishandled a lawsuit against members of the New Black Panther Party, which was filed weeks before the Obama administration took office. The suit was focused on the party and two of its members, who stood out front ...

West Virginia Governor Taps Former Aide for Byrd Seat, Officials Say Published July 16, 2010 Gov. Joe Manchin is tapping former chief counsel Carte Goodwin, a member of a prominent West Virginia family, to succeed the late U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, Democratic officials told The Associated Press on Friday. Three people familiar with the governor's pick spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment ahead of an official announcement. Manchin is scheduled to present his appointee at a Friday afternoon press conference at the Capitol. The 36-year-old Goodwin, a Charleston lawyer, would hold the seat until November. That's when the governor wants general ...

Dems’ decision to forgo budget means no more 51-vote Senate majorities By: Matthew Sheffield Washington Examiner 07/16/10 6:30 AM EDT Congressional Democrats have correctly concluded that not passing an official budget for next fiscal year won’t be much of a trouble for them–saying the words federal and budget is the quickest way to get most people’s eyes to glaze over–but they may not have anticipated another consequence of this strategy: without an official budget, Senate Democrats cannot use the parliamentary trick of “reconciliation” to evade Republican attempts to filibuster bills. Long story short, this means that reconciliation, more famously ...

Sources tell ABC News that Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pennsylvania, has informed the White House that he would like to consider remaining in public service after his Senate term ends at the end of this session, and White House officials are keeping an open mind about possible job openings for him. Specter, who was defeated in his March primary by Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pennsylvania, is a close friend of Vice President Joe Biden and someone praised for his leadership in pushing for greater funding for the National Institutes of Health. Sources said the job discussions are far from anything other than preliminary, and were not part of any "deal" when Specter switched parties and began ...

NEW YORK – A wealthy Manhattan investment banker who was once a top fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other big-name Democrats has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for bank fraud. Hassan Nemazee (hah-SAHN' nah-MAH'-zee) was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Manhattan. He had reached a plea deal in March. He has admitted to three counts of bank fraud and one count of wire fraud. Prosecutors say he forged signatures and concocted bogus account statements to conceal a scam in which he was using proceeds from new loans to pay off older ones. Nemazee had been the national finance chairman of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He also raised money for ...

That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, ...

Ten women in Wisconsin began working on that question right after the 2008 presidential election. We studied the laws, we "watched," and we gave public comment on proposed legislative and administrative changes to Wisconsin election laws. Our overall goal became to promote photo voter ID legislation and support ...

The America John Boehner grew up in? Check out the GOP platforms at the time

Ever since John Boehner accused Dems last week of "snuffing out the America that I grew up in," people around the Web have taking stabs at defining the America of Boehner's youth. On a slow news day, here's another contribution: Let's check out the Republican Party platforms of Boehner's childhood and formative years, which reveal a GOP that was very different from the party Boehner helps lead today. Boehner was born in 1949. In 1956, he was seven; in 1960 he was 11; and in 1964 he was 15. * The Republican Party platform of 1956 called for "broadened coverage in unemployment insurance" and "better health protection for all our people."

Pete Stark's latest rant Debra J. Saunders While Washington incumbents are trembling at the prospect of losing their seats and Democrats fear losing their majority in Congress, Rep. Pete Stark, D-Fremont, is a man apart. As a gone-viral videotape of a June 26 Fremont town hall meeting shows, Stark, 79, is the rare D.C. pol so secure that he feels little need to be civil to folks who show up at his town hall meetings. Is there anything more pernicious than a safe congressional seat? First elected in 1972, Stark has called various colleagues in the House "a whore for the insurance industry," a "fruitcake" and a "fascist." In 2008, he made Esquire's ...
