A Senate Intelligence Committee approved a bill making disclosure of classified information to the media a felony with up to ten thousand dollars in fines and three years in prison. Critics say it targets reporters and protects government misconduct, risking greater censorship and hindering public exposure of misdeeds.
The Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals removed two Confederate plaques on June 9 and replaced them with ones pledging equal justice for all races and noting funding from the Confederate pension fund. Gov George W Bush stated the switch was the right move, citing controversy from heritage groups and a need to avoid connotations of a wrong era. Public forum letters invited reader responses by mail, fax, or email.
Ann Coulter critiques Bedau and Radelet for inflated claims of innocent executions. She cites Cassell and Markman's findings that no documented case shows factually innocent execution in 50 years, arguing DNA exonerations illustrate doubt but not true innocence.
Feder argues that Supreme Court decisions and prior cases show a pattern of Republican nominated justices shifting the Court left. He cites Santa Fe vs. Doe Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Romer v. Evans, noting centrists Stevens OConnor Souter Kennedy align with liberal views. He also critiques Reagan and Bush picks and suggests a future Bush win may not curb anti constitutional drift.
