  2. Peter Sagal's 'Constitution USA' hits the road with humor

  6. What now on gun control?

    Despite the mounting casualties of gun violence and a brutal massacre that left 20 children dead in Newtown, Conn., the Senate on Wednesday failed to pass a bipartisan compromise to widen background checks for potential purchasers of guns as well as several other relatively modest gun-related measures. That shameful failure is yet another powerful reminder of how difficult it is to make progress on gun control at the federal level.

  12. Conservative justices hint at procedural barrier to DOMA ruling

    WASHINGTON -- Two of the Supreme Court's most conservative members suggested Wednesday that procedural barriers should prevent the justices from ruling on the constitutionality of the federal law that denies benefits to legally married same-sex couples, but a majority of the justices seemed inclined to push past those issues.
