The goal of the deposition was to probe further into the firing of nine US attorneys. Previously, the Bush White House, claiming executive privilege, had blocked any questioning.
New questions are surfacing about political intrigue at the U.S. Justice Department.
Just because the black guy won in November doesn't mean election fraud, voter suppression, and systematic disenfranchisement is gone.
Apparently the Republican playbook is to make sure that Obama is pushed into repeating all the mistakes George W. made, no matter what the cost.
When I first started blogging, I never imagined it would become one of my favorite things to do.
While times are tough for most Americans, one group is doing remarkably well. For former members of the Bush administration, the economic outlook remains bright and jobs are seemingly plentiful.
Robert Reich and the Times would have offered more cogent analyses had they let the numbers do the talking. The numbers show how we've been kidding ourselves for a long time.
We are living in a world of hurt, domestic unrest and a country bled dry financially and morally. When will it stop?
The plight of litigants who face a biased judge is illustrated by the track record of one prominent Alabama federal judge, as well by major recent decisions requiring new trials in West Virginia and Georgia courts.
The inability to apologize and see the other side is a psychological weakness.
One thing is clear: President Obama's choice of a Latina woman has sparked the ugliest reaction from the Republican Right we've seen years.
Conservatives who argue that Sotomayor is too quick, too rational, too emotional and too empathetic need to check themselves.
Crossposted with the Center for American Progress Eric Alterman, Danielle Ivory Former President George W. Bush recently mused with the press about...
Empathy is an objective understanding of the subjective experience of another. In the process of empathizing, you're actually putting your ego aside in order to see what it is like to walk in another person's shoes.
Instead of getting Ali and Frazier, the crowd braced itself for a confrontation between Carville -- "The Ragin' Cajun," and Rove -- "The Boy Genius." There was drama and theatrics galore.
A behind-the-scenes look at a secret meeting of the conservative opposition to Sonia Sotomayor
The notion that Judge Sotomayor practices "reverse discrimination" is absurd and reflects the Republican tendency to use scare tactics.
The fists were flying tonight at Radio City Music Hall in New York City as James "the Ragin' Cajun" Carville and Karl "I serve as Bush's brain" Rove battled each other in front of a crowd of thousands.
One of the most experienced federal judges in recent Alabama history is denouncing the U.S. Justice Department prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.
Fame has always been a numbers game. The more famous your Tweets, the more followers you have, but the famous rarely follow you back.
It occurs to me that maybe the Republicans are in a good mood, rather than in the terrible doldrums all liberals think the GOP is in.

Panned by Rove + Silence from Rush = Kiss of Death for Palin from the Twin Spinners of GOP Reality
Paul Begalla listed a number of instances when Sarah had decided to leave various positions she had initially campaigned for. She is not a hard worker and truth be told she is finished with politics in Alaska and vise a versa. She is looking for greener pastures. But I doubt there are any for her to be had.
It's "Begala," by the way, and as he pointed out, she has quit every job she's ever had or held, and in the case of public office before her term(s) expired. There is a pattern here, people, regardless of what one thinks of Sarah Palin or her politics.
She doesn't want to work because if she did, she would have hunkered-down in wherever it is she lives, done her job, kept her mouth shut, and brought in experts on foreign and domestic policy to tutor her on all of the things she plainly doesn't know or understands. She doesn't want to do the hard work of studying and preparing, she simply wants to rant & rave, and skim the benefits.
She IS "looking for greener pastures," however, and that involves green, as in cash, for speaking enagements, books she won't or can't write, and other means of making millions off her looks and fractured syntax.
Nice "work" if you can get it.
And enjoying being viewed as a "martyr" that was driven out by the press. This is the move that few have uncovered. Her supporters will be building shrines for "poor Sarah" while she rakes in the bucks and looks pretty for the camera. Not such a "dumb" move after all is said and one.
Absolutely not necessarily!!
Speaking of casuistry and poison penmanship, let the acid bath begineth...
I can't prove this is true, but it sounds in keeping with Palin's over-inflated sense of self----
I read from an blog from a woman who lives in Wasilla that when Palin announced her campaign for mayor, she announced that one day she would be President.
Hmmmm.
