Elia Rosas, center, is consoled by two of her four daughters, Jocabet Martinez, left, and Girsea Martinez, right, while speaking on the phone with another daughter, Greisa Martinez, after the news of the United States Supreme decision was announced on the case of United States v. Texas, No.
It was a normal September day in Camden, New Jersey, in 1949, when Howard Unruh picked up his Luger pistol and began what was called his "walk of death." During a deadly 12-minute stroll through his neighborhood, Unruh killed 13 men, women and children.
Thousands of Muslims fleeing the collapse of civilization and mindless sectarian murder in the Arab Middle East are turning for safety and security to...whom? And where? The 21st century is struggling to find a new political order and equilibrium as the post-World War II order formed by the victorious allies does a slow dissolve. Disorder is the rule of the day almost everywhere.
Gov. Kate Brown faced widespread criticism this week for skipping the election season's traditional kick-off debate , hosted by the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association. That criticism seems to have hit home.
Hillary Clinton may have been better off wearing the Emperor's New Clothes during her victory speech after the New York primary, rather than what she chose to wear and her aides managed to overlook. Clinton, who has decried income “inequality” throughout the nation during her campaign, stood before the assembled -- and carefully screened -- crowd wearing a $12,495 Giorgio Armani jacket.
Democratic House members, with some support from their colleagues in the Senate, staged a sit-in over 25 hours on Capitol Hill worthy of the civil- rights movement, publicizing their frustration over the lack of formulating meaningful gun-control legislation. Even after the Republican majority adjourned the session early Thursday morning until after the July 4th holiday, Democrats maintained their vigil, exploiting social media in an effort to gain popular -- if not congressional -- support.
This was not the most important line in Clinton's Ohio economic policy speech, only the most amazing. Surely there cannot be a more vacuous, meaningless piece of political rhetoric.
The state government borrowed $300 million internally in 2013 to help with its cash flow. Gov. Sam Brownback noted at the time that when he came into office in 2011 , the state had been borrowing about $700 million.
Everyone who has ever watched a TV show about police and the courts knows the rule: Illegally obtained evidence is not admissible in a trial. We expect it.
Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton rallied House Democrats Wednesday as she looks to unify the party ahead of their convention next month and possibly chip away at the Republicans' hold on the House. Clinton promised to help down-ticket candidates, not swearing off the South -- even aiding Democrats targeting the North Carolina senate seat held by Richard Burr, according to several lawmakers who were at the meeting.
If you turned on cable TV news Monday, chances are good that you caught Corey Lewandowski fibbing that he doesn't have a clue why Donald Trump fired him as his campaign manager. In a series of interviews on several shows, Lewandowski dodged every question, including from CNN's Dana Bash on whether Trump's daughter Ivanka and her husband had anything to do with his dismissal.
During its final hectic days, the British EU referendum debate has come to be dominated by party politics and soul-searching after the murder of Labour parliamentarian Jo Cox. As Britain is caught up in its domestic woes, interest in what the world thinks about the prospects of a Brexit has taken a back seat again.
Regardless of how you feel about the gun votes that were taken in Washington this week - and Republicans and Democrats both put proposals on the table they knew would be scorned by the other side - an underlying problem is the U.S. Senate itself and its rule that requires 60 votes to bring a bill to an actual vote. The Senate is sometimes referred to as "The World's Greatest Deliberative Body."
Rep. Stephen Lynch,D-Mass., recently disclosed that a congressional investigation has found at least 72 employees of the Department of Homeland Security listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list.
Donald Trump's campaign kicked its communications operation into overdrive Tuesday, firing off at least 15 emails to supporters and media -- more than any single day since the campaign's inception a year ago. It was the first evidence of a changing approach since Monday morning's firing of campaign manager Corey Lewandowski -- a figure a campaign source described as unwilling to give up his tight controls over all of its operations, demanding to personally approve each email and often delaying those potentially time-sensitive messages.
So you'll forgive me for taking a layman's approach to what I feel is a very basic common sense piece of legislation that failed on the senate floor Monday. Maybe it's because I'm older and wiser that prevents me from wrapping my brain around why we can't pass a piece of legislation that would prevent a gun sale to a would-be terrorist.
The mere existence on our planet of the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch drives Sen. Bernie Sanders to torrents of outrage. They, according to Sanders' imagination, are the secret owners of the Republican Party, the Tea Party , and a long list of organizations opposed to the Sanders agenda, such as the political action group Americans for Prosperity.
On May 24, the House Appropriations Committee took up a proposal "to deny transfers of firearms to persons known or suspected to be engaged in conduct related to terrorism." In a party-line vote, Republicans defeated the plan 29 to 17. Nineteen days later, a man whom the FBI had investigated as a possible terrorist went into an Orlando nightclub and, claiming solidarity with the Islamic State, shot 49 people to death with weapons he bought legally.
Florida Sens. Bill Nelson, left, and Marco Rubio visit a memorial last week to the Orlando shooting victims. Nelson voted for a Democratic bill to close the gun show loophole; Rubio voted against.
Other little disasters are things like boil-water advisories because of aging pipes, the bumps and potholes, the constant catching-up on repairs and fixes for basic services. The lake-bound lanes of Canal were closed when a partial collapse was discovered in one of the tunnels under the street.
