Elena Kagan: Government Can Ban Political Pamphlets
CNS News
Solicitor General Elena Kagan, nominated Monday to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Barack Obama, told that court in September that Congress could constitutionally prohibit corporations from engaging in political speech such as publishing pamphlets that advocate the election or defeat of a candidate for federal office.
Kagan’s argument that the government could prohibit political speech by corporations was rejected by a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in that case, and in a scathing concurrence Chief Justice John Roberts took direct aim at Kagan’s argument that the government could ban political pamphlets.

Expanded Insurance Coverage for Young Adults Will Raise Premiums, Government Says
Associated Press
Letting young adults stay on their parents' health insurance until they turn 26 will nudge premiums nearly 1 percent higher for employer plans, the government said in an estimate released Monday.
The coverage requirement, effective starting later this year, is one of the most anticipated early benefits of President Barack Obama's new health care law. Many insurers have already started offering extended coverage to families who purchase their coverage directly. And employers say parents have flooded their benefits departments with questions.

Obama Warns Grads of iPad Perils
Fox News
BlackBerry-loving President Barack Obama declared war on technology, singling out Apple’s super-popular iPods and iPads for criticism at a commencement ceremony in Virginia, the New York Post reported Monday.
Obama -- whose election was credited in part to his skillful use of modern media, from smartphones to Twitter to Flickr -- on Sunday told college graduates that high-tech gizmos and apps were straining American democracy.
"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said at Hampton University in southeastern Virginia.
Obama also lamented the spread of social media and blogs, through which "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction."
"All of this is not only putting new pressures on you," Obama said. "It is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."

Fannie Mae seeks $8.4B in aid after 1Q loss
Associated Press
Fannie Mae has again asked taxpayers for more money after reporting a first-quarter loss of more than $13 billion.
The mortgage finance company, which was rescued by the government in September 2008, said it needs an additional $8.4 billion from the government to help cover mounting losses.
Fannie Mae says it lost $13.1 billion, or $2.29 per share, in the January-March period. That takes into account $1.5 billion in dividends paid to the Treasury Department. It compares with a loss of $23.2 billion, or $4.09 a share, in the year-ago period.
Fannie and Freddie play a vital role in the mortgage market by purchasing mortgages from lenders and selling them to investors. Together the pair own or guarantee almost 31 million home loans worth about $5.5 trillion. That's about half of all mortgages.
The two companies, however, loosened their lending standards for borrowers during the real estate boom and are reeling from the consequences.

Arizona Immigration Law Identical to Federal Laws Requiring Alien Documentation, Says Attorney
CNS News
One of the men who helped write Arizona’s new immigration law said he’s confident it will withstand legal challenges, because the law specifically addresses issues such as racial profiling, which are likely to be the basis of state or federal lawsuits.
“I’m confident Arizona will prevail,” Kris Kobach said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters. Kobach is a constitutional law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and served as chief adviser to former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft on immigration law and border security.

Philly teen forced to abort, AFA calls for action
OneNewsNow
Diane GramleyThe American Family Association (AFA) of Pennsylvania is calling for an investigation of a case in which a Department of Human Services caseworker allegedly pressured a teen into having an abortion.
According to Diane Gramley, president of AFA-Pennsylvania, the DHS caseworker threatened the underage girl. Gramley reports the case "involves a 16-year-old girl who wanted to keep her baby, yet she was pressured to get an abortion or she would lose her one-year-old daughter."
The teenager's birth mother and foster mother both refused to grant permission for the suggested abortion, so Brown took the girl before a judge to acquire a parental bypass for an abortion that is illegal in the state.

Reid Says ‘Someone’ Should Offer Amendment to Stop Financial Reform from Empowering Treasury to Probe Financial Records of Law-Abiding Citizens
CNS News
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) says he wishes “someone” would offer an amendment to the financial regulatory bill to prevent the federal government from probing private financial records through a provision in the bill that would allow a new Treasury Department agency to demand “any data or information” from any financial firm and to use a subpoena to get that information if necessary.
Reid, however, did not respond when asked whether he would personally support such an amendment.

Jewish alliance rallies for Israel
One News Now
A pro-Israel grassroots alliance is concerned about the Obama administration's increasing hostility toward Israel, so the group recently showed public support for the Jewish state.
Thousands of pro-Israel supporters recently gathered in front of the Israeli consulate in Manhattan to show support for Israel in the face of the growing tension between the Jewish state and the Obama administration. The rally was organized by the Jewish Action Alliance.
Alliance spokesman Rabbi Aryeh Spero explains the rally was in response to the humiliating treatment the president gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli leader visited Washington recently.

Democrat Arizona Congresswoman: Deputy's Shooting a ‘Wake Up Call,’ Border 'Out of Control,' 'Immediately Deploy National Guard'
CNS News
Declaring that the shooting of a Pinal County, Ariz., sheriff’s deputy by suspected illegal-alien drug traffickers should be a "wake-up call" for politicians in Washington, D.C., Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) said the “border region is out of control” and called for immediate deployment of the National Guard there.
Deputy Sheriff Louie Puroll was wounded in a shoot-out with five drug smugglers on Friday after he encountered them with a large shipment of marijuana. Pinal County is in south central Arizona.

Obama Gives Unions a 'Massive Payback' with Executive Order, Contractors Claim
CNS News
The nation’s non-union contractors, who constitute the bulk of the construction industry, say President Obama has given a “massive payback” to unions by implementing an executive order that would help them secure billions of dollars in construction contracts on public projects -- and a House Republican congressman agrees.
The executive order, implemented in mid-April, encourages federal agencies to use “project labor agreements” or PLAs on their construction projects, which could require any non-union workers to pay into ailing union pension funds and follow work guidelines set out by a union.

Clinton, Speaking to Jewish Audience, Warns Iran and Syria on Threats to Israel
Associated Press
The Obama administration Thursday warned Iran and Syria that America's commitment to Israel's security is unshakable and that they should understand the consequences of threats to the Jewish state.
In a speech, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Syrian transfers of increasingly sophisticated weaponry including rockets to militants in southern Lebanon and Gaza could spark new conflict in the Middle East. And she said a nuclear-armed Iran would profoundly destabilize the region.

Lawmakers Call for Restrictions on Political Ads
Associated Press
Corporations and unions would have to identify themselves on political ads they bankroll, and the CEO or top official would have to make "I approve this message" statements under legislation being introduced in Congress Wednesday.
The measures being introduced in both the House and Senate are a direct response to a 5-4 ruling by the Supreme Court in January that upheld the First Amendment rights of such groups to spend money on campaign ads. The decision greatly enhances their ability to influence federal elections.
Senate Democrats, including Charles Schumer of New York and campaign finance legislation veteran Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, are appearing on the steps of the Supreme Court to outline how they plan to counteract a court ruling they say overturned more than a century of established law. They complain that it dangerously tilted the power balance away from individual candidates and voters and in the direction of deep-pocketed corporations and unions.

Justice Department: Border Patrol Agents Assaulted Daily, Kidnappings Every 35 Hours in Phoenix, 1 in 5 Teens Using Drugs Predominantly Supplied by Mexican Traffickers
CNS News
Three Border Patrol agents are assaulted on the average day at or near the U.S. border. Someone is kidnapped every 35 hours in Phoenix, Ariz., often by agents of alien smuggling organizations. And one-in-five American teenagers last year used some type of illegal drug, many of which were imported across the unsecured U.S.-Mexico border.
These facts are reported in the recently released National Drug Threat Assessment for 2010, published by the National Drug Intelligence Center, a division of the U.S. Justice Department. They ought to add some perspective to the national debate raging over Arizona’s new law that requires local law enforcement officers to make a “reasonable attempt” to determine the immigration status of persons they legally come into contact with and whom they reasonably suspect of being in the country illegally

Bernanke says prompt action needed on deficit
Reuters
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Tuesday the country's budget deficit is on an unsustainable path and requires near-term action from policymakers to avoid dangerous outcomes.
Though he offered no concrete proposals for fiscal reform, Bernanke flagged the rising cost of healthcare and social security programs as key hurdles in refreshing his warnings on the United States' growing debt burden.
"In the absence of further policy actions, the federal budget appears set to remain on an unsustainable path," Bernanke told the 18-member National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

Hoyer Says Arizona Immigration Enforcement Law ‘Inconsistent’ with Civil Liberties
CNS News
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law was “inconsistent” with American legal traditions and civil liberties. Hoyer said that such active enforcement policies should not be included in upcoming federal immigration reform.
“I think that the law that was passed was a law that is very inconsistent with our past practices in America where we don’t go around asking people for I.D. cards,” Hoyer said at his weekly press briefing.
Hoyer said that he favored “comprehensive” reform of the nation’s immigration system, saying that such reform must include a secure border and comprehensive reform.

A conservative Republican congressman from Georgia is calling for congressional hearings to investigate actions by the U.S. military in recent weeks to cancel or rescind invitations that had been made to two prominent conservative Christian leaders -- Franklin Graham and Tony Perkins -- to speak at military prayer events.
“I think that we need to have some hearings on this because this seems to be something that the military is spending some energy on and we need to raise the visibility on it,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) told CNSNews.com.

Unemployment challenges Obama's economic narrativ
Associated Press
Even as he touts his efforts to put more Americans to work, President Barack Obama faces a public increasingly skeptical of his ability to bring jobs back to Main Street.
During stops in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, Obama will try to convince voters that his economic policies are working, despite an unemployment rate that's expected to remain at painfully high levels for months if not years.
Those voters - many of them crucial independents - will be key to Obama's re-election prospects in 2012. And his fellow Democrats, facing a tough political climate in the November, need their support even sooner.

Economists: The stimulus didn't help
CNNMoney.com
The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government's stimulus package and jobs bill had little to do with the rebound, according to a survey released Monday.
In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics, the index that measures employment showed job growth for the first time in two years -- but a majority of respondents felt the fiscal stimulus had no impact.
