I noted in a post yesterday Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's views on having a "pragmatic" view of the Constitution. Guess this is what he meant:
But Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told me on “GMA” that he's not prepared to conclude that — in the internet age — the First Amendment condones Koran burning.
The main library in downtown Indianapolis is going to be closed on Thursdays in a budget-cutting move less than three years a renovation and expansion that cost more than $100 million was finished.
There's been a lot of discussion in conservative circles about Charles Krauthammer's (video at the link) invocation of "the Buckley rule" -- support the most conservative candidates who are electable -- regarding the GOP Senate primary race between Mike Castle and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.
This is an interesting idea. I suspect so few students will take advantage of it that some of the potential negative results (such as the schools losing the funding) won't be much of a problem:
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is proposing a three-year graduation plan, with a reward for those who speed thru their secondary education.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is one of the court's "living document" adherents rather than one of the originalist members. In his new book "Making Democracy Work," he calls it "pragmatism."
Why apologize for a joke when it speaks the truth?
SACRAMENTO -- It's a withering television ad that has created the first storm of the gubernatorial race: Then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton eviscerating Jerry Brown in a 1992 debate, accusing Brown of lying about whether he raised taxes as governor.
The Indianapolis Star's Matthew Tully is tired of the will he run/won't he run coyness about Mitch Daniels and the presidency and believes the evidence is pretty clear that he is running:
Daniels, of course, insists he has only cracked open the door to a run, and that he's done that only to appease his supporters. Time and again, he has said he is not running.
But he is.
Indiana is said to be killing some of its residents with soot:
An environmental group's national report said pollution from Indiana's coal-fired power plants will cause an estimated 550 premature deaths in the state this year.
The report from the Clean Air Task Force ranked Indiana fifth in the U.S. in per capita mortality risk from pollutants that create lung-choking soot. The elderly and people with respiratory disease are most susceptible to such pollution.
Under Indiana law, prosecutors can't seek the death penalty against Andrew Conley of rural Ohio County because he was only 17 when he killed his 10-year-old brother.
The Indianapolis Public Schools system is toying with the idea of year-round school:
Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Eugene White has informally proposed year-round school as a way to reduce "summer learning loss." But its merits have long been a source of debate. And it's an idea that, while tried elsewhere, is not common in Indiana and not always popular with parents or kids.
