  1. Immigration reform: Closer to reality or destined for failure?

    Oh, how much things have changed in just a few months. Last May, Republicans and Democrats couldn't agree on any aspect of immigration reform. But on Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a far-reaching immigration bill, clearing the way for a debate in the full Senate.

  2. Rep. Issa tested by the spotlight

    WASHINGTON — During the 2010 campaign, Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat from Sherman Oaks, joked, "Every time I try to encourage the White House to do more to help us elect Democrats to the House of Representatives, I send them a picture of Darrell Issa with the word 'subpoena' underneath."

  4. Prayers in public offices

    Ideally, governmental bodies would refrain from including prayers — even ecumenical, "lowest-common-denominator" ones — in their public proceedings. But if prayers are to be offered, they certainly shouldn't be monopolized by a single religious tradition. That is how the Supreme Court should rule in a case involving a town in New York state.

  7. McManus: Obama's plan to avoid lame-duckery

    For the last two months, President Obama has been mired in Washington's inside game, caught up in backroom congressional politics as he tried unsuccessfully to pass a bill on gun control and nudge Republican senators toward compromise on the budget.

  8. Arizona law bans destroying guns purchased in buyback programs

    TUCSON — City- or county-sponsored gun buybacks — often used in larger cities to entice people to give up their handguns — have become effectively pointless in Arizona with legislation signed by Gov. Jan Brewer.
    This post has been corrected. See the note below.

  12. Vicente Fox to Congress: Rethink that wall

    Throughout 2001, President George W. Bush and I spent time negotiating an important bilateral agreement on immigration policies and programs.
