  1. Hearing held on bill to put curbs on the spy in your pocket

    You may already suspect it, but yes, your cellphone is essentially stalking you. But don't chuck it out your car window quite yet. For the most part, your phone is benign, benevolent and incredibly useful. However, the information it collects about you is not in your control, and that data may be more precise about your comings and goings than you think.

  2. Bill overkill in Sacramento

    State Sen. Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) is right to be offended by "conversion therapy," the pseudo-psychiatric treatment that purports to talk patients out of being gay and into being straight. There's no medical basis for the treatment, and there's some evidence that it causes harm while failing to do any good.

  6. Supreme Court should lift its blackout

    Why theU.S. Supreme Courtcontinues to hold its oral arguments away from television cameras remains a mystery and a national shame. On Monday, the court will begin hearing six hours of arguments over three days in a lawsuit brought by more than half of the states in the nation to challenge the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, one of the most important pieces of economic legislation passed by Congress since the New Deal. The stakes of the litigation could not be higher. How the court rules is likely to affect healthcare in this country for generations and could even affect the outcome of the presidential election.

  7. Targeted killings: Who's checking the executive branch?

    During a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Chairman Patrick Leahy and Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. appeared to share a chuckle over issues related to the targeted killing last year of an American citizen by the United States. According to news reports, Leahy good-naturedly reminded the attorney general that his committee was still waiting for a copy of a classified Department of Justice memorandum in which the killing was justified on statutory and constitutional grounds.

  8. The Senate's 'Dr. No' delivers a surprise 'yes

    The judicial confirmation wars are clearly escalating when Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) calls for a halt to the carnage. Coburn, dubbed "Dr. No" for his unyielding opposition to many of his colleagues' ideas, including judicial appointments, proclaimed this month that the confirmation wars must end. He said: "I think the very issue [of judicial selection] is what makes Americans sick of what we're doing. It's a tit for tat. We've got to get beyond that. The problems are too great for our country. What I do know is that presidents are entitled to their nominees." The senator must now follow his words with actions, and both Democrats and Republicans must heed his admonitions.
