Supreme Court Vacancy: Obama Consults Dem, GOP Leaders -- Again
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyPresident Obama met Wednesday with Democratic and Republican Senate leaders amid signs the White House is moving quickly on finding a successor to Justice John Paul Stevens, who is retiring in June. It was the second time Obama and Vice President Biden have met with the bipartisan group since Stevens announced his departure on April 9. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala) were on the invite list, along with Majority Leader Harry Reid and Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). Obama wants to get his nominee confirmed by the Senate before the start of the high ...
Court Fight Looms With Talk of Stevens' Departure
By Tamara Lytle - AOL News(March 17) -- President Barack Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts have been sniping at each other like in-laws with an ax to grind. And now they're potentially on the verge of a major family occasion fraught with tension. Justice John Paul Stevens turns 90 next month and is expected to announce soon whether he will retire from the Supreme Court and kick off a nomination battle for his replacement. Stevens hired only one law clerk for next fall's term instead of the usual complement of four, setting off speculation he will step down. Stevens is the leader of the closely divided court's left ...

Debunking the Myth of 'Cheap' Fast Food
By Domenica Marchetti - Politics DailyLinda, the scene you describe from the movie "Food Inc.," in which a family of four is unable to afford fresh pears and instead is compelled to choke down fast-food "dollar meals" sounds heartbreaking. I have yet to see the movie because -- most frustratingly -- it is not playing anywhere in the D.C. area, where I live (though I did read both '"The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "Fast Food Nation," on which the film is based). Like you, I am lucky. I go to my farmers' market every week; at the supermarket I can choose to spend my grocery money on organic eggs and milk and high-quality meat and ...
Guantanamo Detainees Headed for Northern Michigan?
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyI wrote an update Friday about one of the two U.S. confinement centers being seriously considered to welcome inmates from the soon-be-shuttered Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. It reminded me what becomes of a messy war. Since 2002, some 775 non-citizens "believed to be involved in international terrorism" have come through the gates of the Caribbean holding pen and interrogation center. Although the Justice Department originally advised President George W. Bush that prisoners held there were outside the legal jurisdiction of the United States, subsequent court decisions restored some ...
Michigan and Florida, Take Two
By Faye Anderson - Politics DailyOne seldom gets a second chance to make a first impression. But in the name of democracy, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm are seeking a do-over of their state's primary election.In a joint statement, they said: "The right to vote is at the very foundation of our democracy. This primary season, voters have turned out in record numbers to exercise that right, and it is reprehensible that anyone would seek to silence the voices of 5,163,271 Americans."While the states knew the rules going into the game, they still think "it is intolerable that the national political ...
