- Wealth and Democracy (Los Angeles Times - Kennedy)
Reviews the book, Wealth and Democracy, by Kevin Phillips. Discusses the gap between the wealthy and rest of us and the consequences on democracy. Phillips summarizes the position of Republican president Theodore Roosevelt, with "...too much wealth in the hands of a small minority is not only offensive to the American sense of fairness, it is dangerous to the republic itself. Excess money, in this view, purchases special privileges, corrupts low-paid officials and distorts the electoral will. In a narrower sense, it is also dangerous to the Republican Party, which brings us back to where Phillips started off his long career." 7-02

- 09-03-05 Bush Tries Damage Control (Los Angeles Times.com)
"It took him most of a week to get there, but President Bush accomplished several goals Friday on his tour of the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. He brought comfort to some of the uncounted homeless. He lent encouragement to emergency workers battling to save those still in danger."
"And, not least, he launched a rescue mission to restore his own image after mounting criticism of an apparent shortage of federal leadership."
"During four days of chaos in New Orleans, Bush and his aides had issued upbeat statements that help was on the way. But in the face of televised images of horrifying anarchy, some senior Republicans warned the White House that it needed to change its tone." 9-05
- Jolie, Angelina - Fighting Poverty in Africa (ABC News)

- -Editorial: Bush Response to a Disaster (Los Angeles Times)
"New Orleans is, or should be, the graveyard of the conservative ideology that government is useless.

- -10-01-05 Disaster Relief Agencies: Bush Picked Another Unqualified Leader (Los Angeles Times)
"Less than a month after the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency stepped down amid accusations of cronyism and incompetence, the Bush administration is being assailed for nominating another political ally to head a key agency for responding to foreign disasters."
"Sauerbrey, a former member of the Republican National Committee who was Bush's Maryland state campaign chairwoman in 2000, is the U.S. representative to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women."
"If confirmed by the Senate, which has not set a date for a hearing, Sauerbrey would head an agency with a $700-million annual budget that has responsibility for coordinating the U.S. government's response to refugee crises during natural disasters and wars."
"Although appointing political allies to government jobs is a tradition in Washington, the refugee bureau is a complex agency with a broad portfolio. Past administrations, Republican and Democratic, have generally turned to someone with technical expertise to head it." 9-05
- -11-18-05 Murtha: We Need a Well-Planned Withdrawal from Iraq (Los Angeles Times)

- Law Established to End Secret President-Approved Spying (Los Angeles Times)
"In 1978, Congress thought it had closed a loophole in the law when it passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA]. The loophole concerned secret spying authorized by the president on grounds of national security."
"On Friday, many in Washington were surprised to learn that despite the 1978 law, President Bush and his advisors had claimed the power to authorize secret spying within the United States."
" 'FISA was the sole authority for wiretapping' on national security grounds, said Jerry Berman, who worked on the 1978 law as a counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union. 'The statute would be a futile exercise if the president retained the authority to conduct these wiretaps on his own.' " 12-05

- -06-21-07 Cheney Claims Himself Exempt from Oversight (Los Angeles Times)
"Gordon Silverstein, a constitutional scholar at UC Berkeley, said Cheney's claims were all the more noteworthy given his repeated assertions of executive privilege, based on his senior position within the Bush administration, as a reason why he has not had to testify before Congress or provide lawmakers with information on such national security issues as torture, interrogation and CIA renditions of terrorists."
" 'Here's a guy who raises "executive privilege" to historic levels to exempt himself from all rules and oversight, and now he says he's not part of the executive branch?' said Silverstein. 'Here we have a subordinate part of the executive branch asserting independent constitutional authority even against its own superior. It is flabbergasting.' " 06-07

- Justices - Supreme Court Judge Scalia Socializes With Cheney Before Hearing (CBS News)
"Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of last week duck hunting together at a private camp in southern Louisiana, just three weeks after the court agreed to take up the vice president's appeal in lawsuits over his handling of the administration's energy task force, the Los Angeles Times says in its Saturday editions."
"While Scalia and Cheney are avid hunters and longtime friends, several experts in legal ethics questioned the timing of their trip and said it raised doubts about Scalia's ability to judge the case impartially, the newspaper pointed out."
"Federal law says 'any justice or judge shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might be questioned,' the Times notes."
"Stephen Gillers, a New York University law professor, told the Times Scalia should have skipped going hunting with Cheney this year."
" 'A judge may have a friendship with a lawyer, and that's fine. But if the lawyer has a case before the judge, they don't socialize until it's over. That shows a proper respect for maintaining the public's confidence in the integrity of the process,' said Gillers, who is an expert on legal ethics." 2-04

- Pope Benedict XVI - Challenges for the New Pope (CNN News)
" 'One issue that the new pope should face is the problem on terrorism and the reasons for its being,' said Fernando Flores of the Philippines. 'I hope that the new pope may cause its downfall the way Pope John Paul II did with communism -- in a way that speaks with love, understanding and non-violence.' "
"Another common theme was the problem of poverty and addressing the economic divide between the developed world and the third world. This issue could be a critical one for the next pope, as church attendance has dropped off in the United States and Europe in recent decades and the Catholic Church has seen most of its recent growth come in Africa and Latin America."
" 'The next pope's biggest problem, I think, is the secularization of the developed world. Europeans are turning away from religion altogether. A new chapter will begin in the religious world with the election of a new pope,' wrote Aaron Kinney, from Los Angeles, California. 'Will he bring Europe back to religion or will Europe continue to snub the church?' " 4-05
