Senate probes shift focus from fish to court ethics
Editorial argues the Kansas Senate should pause political posturing and let the Commission on Judicial Qualifications handle the probe into communications between Supreme Court Justice Lawton Nuss, lawmakers, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’s circle. It notes potential conflicts, urges restraint, and urges lawmakers to concentrate on school finance reforms rather than sensational investigations.

Biden plan for regional Iraq governing would end war stalemate
Washington columnist David Broder notes Senate Democrats contrast President Bush’s Lincoln speech with Joe Biden’s proposal for regional authorities in northern, southern, and central Iraq. The plan seeks a central government over oil and defense while provinces govern locally, with a 2008 U.S. troop drawdown and regional coordination to avert civil war. Risks include weak central power and potential permanent division, but Biden cites the Articles of Confederation and Dayton accords as precedents for a workable regional approach.
