Putin Has 'One Foot in Old Ways,' Obama Says on Eve of Moscow Trip Ron Sparks Vows Push for Education Lottery if Elected Alabama's Governor Judge Sotomayor's Recusals Show Her Impartiality
Roberts Supreme Court Moves U.S. Law to The Right Group Advised by Sotomayor Campaigned Against Bork More Political Gamesmanship on the Supreme Court Biden Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq Marines Exchange Fire with Taliban U.S. Marines hiked through searing heat and took fire from small pockets of militants Thursday after landing in this Taliban-controlled southern region of tree-lined fields, mud homes and crisscrossing waterways in the first major operation under President Barack Obama's strategy to stabilize Afghanistan. US Marines Launch Offensive in Afghanistan Senate Lowers Cost of Health Plan Democrats on a key Senate Committee outlined a revised and far less costly health care plan Wednesday night that includes a government-run insurance option and an annual fee on employers who do not offer coverage to their workers. The plan carries a 10-year price tag of slightly over $600 billion, and would lead toward an estimated 97 percent of all Americans having coverage. Is God Talk and Infidelity a Southern Thing?

Political Justice Under the Spotlight in Washington WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One of the most significant problems corrupting American society and politics over the past eight years is finally getting the public spotlight it deserves in the nation's capital. You can't run a successful democracy without an honest system of justice that is removed as far as possible from politics, according to a panel of experts who spoke atthe National Press Club. Elliot Mintzberg, chief counsel for oversight investigations of the House Judiciary Committee, who came in Conyers' place, insisted that all the investigations are continuing full bore into the politicization of the justice system by the Bush White House and Department of Justice -- in spite of a certain camp in Washington who would rather "look forward, not back." Retired Chief U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon said nothing can compare to the abuses of people's rights that occurred during the Bush years. He indicated that The Birmingham News has always been on the wrong side of history in the fights for justice.
