Holder Deflects Questions from Issa on Sestak Job Claim
by Brian Montopoli, CBS | | California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa today aggressively questioned Attorney General Eric Holder over Rep. Joe Sestak's suggestion that he was offered a high-ranking Obama administration job in exchange for dropping his Pennsylvania Democratic primary challenge against Sen. Arlen Specter. Issa has called for a special prosecutor to investigate Sestak's claim. At a Justice Department Oversight committee hearing today, he pressed Holder on why allegations Issa cast as "bribery of public officials," among other violations, were not being investigated by the Justice Department. Issa complained that no witnesses have been questioned and expressed consternation that the White House has only addressed the matter through press secretary Robert Gibbs, who has said that any conversations between the White House and Sestak were "not problematic." Holder told Issa that the appointment of a special prosecutor is something that is "done on a case-by-case basis," prompting Issa to interrupt and ask how this situation did not fall into that category. Holder said "there are regulations that are in place and there are requirements that have to be met before a special prosecutor" can be appointed, noting that the matter calls to the Department's public integrity section. He declined to specifically discuss Sestak's charges, telling Issa, "I don't talk about any matter that might come into the purview of the Department of Justice." | | Read More and Comment: |

Neil Armstrong says Barack Obama is 'poorly advised' on space
UK Telegraph | | Appearing before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Mr Armstrong said that the Obama administration plan to end the Constellation program and cut other space efforts appeared to be made without input from NASA or the president's science adviser. "I have yet to find a person in NASA, the Defense Department, the Air Force, the National Academies, industry, or academia that had any knowledge of the plan prior to its announcement," the Apollo 11 commander told the committee. "A plan that was invisible to so many was likely contrived by a very small group in secret who persuaded the president that this was a unique opportunity to put his stamp on a new and innovative program." Mr Armstrong, the first to set foot on the lunar surface in his 1969 mission, said the United States "has invested substantially for more than half a century to acquire a position of leadership in space" but that "to maintain a leadership position requires steadfast determination and a continuing investment in the future." He added, "If the leadership we have acquired through our investment is allowed simply to fade away, other nations will surely step in where we have faltered. I do not believe that this would be in our best interests." | | Read More and Comment: | Kagan Was 'Not Sympathetic' as Law Clerk to Gun-Rights Argument
By Greg Stohr and Kristin Jensen, Bloomberg | | Elena Kagan said as a U.S. Supreme Court law clerk in 1987 that she was "not sympathetic" toward a man who contended that his constitutional rights were violated when he was convicted for carrying an unlicensed pistol. Kagan, whom President Barack Obama nominated to the high court this week, made the comment to Justice Thurgood Marshall, urging him in a one-paragraph memo to vote against hearing the District of Columbia man's appeal. The man's "sole contention is that the District of Columbia's firearms statutes violate his constitutional right to 'keep and bear arms,'" Kagan wrote. "I'm not sympathetic." Kagan, currently the U.S. solicitor general, has made few public remarks about the Constitution's Second Amendment. The Supreme Court in 2008 ruled, in a case that overturned the District of Columbia's handgun ban, that the Constitution protects individual gun rights. | | Read More and Comment: | Obama's Decision to Approve Killing of Cleric Causes Unease
By Scott Shane, NYT | | The Obama administration's decision to authorize the killing by the Central Intelligence Agency of a terrorism suspect who is an American citizen has set off a debate over the legal and political limits of drone missile strikes, a mainstay of the campaign against terrorism. The notion that the government can, in effect, execute one of its own citizens far from a combat zone, with no judicial process and based on secret intelligence, makes some legal authorities deeply uneasy. To eavesdrop on the terrorism suspect who was added to the target list, the American-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is hiding in Yemen, intelligence agencies would have to get a court warrant. But designating him for death, as C.I.A. officials did early this year with the National Security Council's approval, required no judicial review. "Congress has protected Awlaki's cellphone calls," said Vicki Divoll, a former C.I.A. lawyer who now teaches at the United States Naval Academy. "But it has not provided any protections for his life. That makes no sense." Administration officials take the view that no legal or constitutional rights can protect Mr. Awlaki, a charismatic preacher who has said it is a religious duty to attack the United States and who the C.I.A. believes is actively plotting violence. The attempted bombing of Times Square on May 1 is the latest of more than a dozen terrorist plots in the West that investigators believe were inspired in part by Mr. Awlaki's rhetoric. | | Read More and Comment: | Obama Called A Hypocrite For Coming To NYC
Hazel Sanchez, CBS | | Despite the harsh criticism of the possible New York City anti-terror cuts, President Barack Obama walked straight into the lion's den on Thursday. He met with NYPD officers whose budgets may be slashed, then took cash from the Wall Street fat cats he's very publicly ripped apart. The irony is hard to ignore – President Obama schmoozing with New York's Finest, thanking them for their handling of the Times Square bomb scare, just one day after the White House said it may be slashing the city's terror-fighting fund. On Thursday, President Obama promised federal support. "And we want to make sure that we continue to work with you to get the resources that are needed for you to continue to be effective," Obama told the NYPD. "He's talking out of both sides of his mouth," one New Yorker said. Critics said the timing of Obama's Big Apple tour could not be worse. "New York is a tough town," Obama said. | | Read More and Comment: | BACK IN PRINT AFTER 128 YEARS
Lives of the Presidents of the United States
An Illustrated Biography of the first 20 American Presidents | "If you are disappointed in a President who bows to foreign leaders, refuses to pray on the National Day of Prayer, opens our borders to terrorists and illegal aliens, punishes hard-working Americans with more taxes, and takes our liberty in exchange for so-called 'security' then Lives of the Presidents is for you." — Gary DeMar, President of American Vision  There are few persons who can read this record of the lives of the first 20 Presidents of the United States without the conviction that there is no other nation which can present a consecutive series of twenty rulers of equal excellence of character and administrative ability. Probably the least worthy of all our Presidents would rank among the best of the kings whom the accident of birth has placed upon hereditary thrones; and not an individual has popular suffrage elevated to the presidential chair, whom one would think of ranking with those many royal monsters who have in turn disgraced all the courts of Europe. This record settles the question that the choice of rulers is a far safer reliance than hereditary descent. PRE-ORDER ONLINE With us, the freedom of the press is so unlimited and political partisanship so intense, that few persons have been able to take really an impartial view of the characters of those who have been by one party so inordinately lauded, and by the other so intemperately assailed. But as we now dispassionately review the past, most readers will probably find many old prejudices dispelled. The writers have not thought that impartiality requires that they should refrain from a frank expression of their own views. It is an essential part of biography, that faults as well as virtues should be honestly detailed. No man is perfect. There have certainly been errors and wrong-doings in the past administration of this government. It is not the duty of the impartial historical biographer to ignore such, or to gloss them over. This should be distinctly brought to light as instruction for the future. The materials from which the writers have drawn these biographical sketches are very abundant. Whatever of merit they possess must consist mainly in the skill which may be exhibited in selecting from the great mass those incidents which will give one the most vivid conception of the individual. The writers have attempted with much labor, to present a miniature likeness of each character which shall be faithful and striking. They have not deemed it expedient to incumber these pages with foot-notes, as most of the important facts here stated are unquestioned; and all will be found substantiated in the memoirs and works of our Chief Magistrates, contained in most of our large libraries. — From the preface, by co-author Russell H.
