Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has had her credibility and motivations questioned since she came forward publicly with allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when he was 17-years-old and she was 15-years-old.

Most everyone on Capitol Hill agrees ethics reform is needed, but there s plenty of heat over how to do it. Republican leaders unveiled their reform plan Tuesday, and were promptly blasted by Democrats, who are to unveil their own proposal Wednesday.Outlining the GOP plan for the House was Speaker Dennis Hastert, who called for new restrictions on gifts from lobbyists, in response to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal that already has claimed two Republican leaders and raised GOP fears about this year s elections. As Speak gourde stanley er of this House, I want to make one thing clear: it is not acceptable for anyone to break the rules of the House or the law, said Hastert.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama has vetoed a Republican-backed bill on Tuesday that would have approved construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, putting a freeze on a top GOP priority - at least for now. Through this bill, the United States Congress attempts to circumvent longstanding and proven processes for determining whether or not building and operating a cross-border pipeline serves the national interest. The Presidential power to veto legislation is one I take seriously. But I also take seriously my responsibility to the American people. And because this act of Congress conflicts with established executive branch procedures and cuts short thorough consideration of issues that could bear on our national interest -- including our security, safety, and environment -- it has earned my veto, Mr. Obama said in a statement Tuesday.The contentious legislation arrived at the White House Tuesday morning from Capitol Hill, where Republicans pushed the bill quickly through both chambers in their first burst of activity stanley kubek since taking full control of C stanley cup ongress.

Barack Obama s connection to the former pastor of his former church has been, fairly or unfairly, one of the more scrutinized aspects of the presidential campaign. But if the political world considers Jeremiah Wright a legitimate issue, then it s inevitable, I suppose, that Sarah Palin s pastors get a closer look.Nico Pitney and Sam Stein have the story of Wasilla Assembly of God, a Pentecostal church that Palin attended for years.A review of recorded sermons by Ed Kalnins, the senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, offers a provocative and, for some, eyebrow-raising sketch of Palin s longtime spiritual home.The church runs a number of ministries providing help to poor neighborhoods, care for children in need, and general community services. But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war contending for your faith; and said that Jesus operated from that position of war mode. It is impossible to determine how much Wasilla Assembly of God has shaped Palin s thinking.

Democrats in Congress are actively considering a plan to use a pending housing bill to deal with Washingtonrsquo own mortgage problem: the federal debt ceiling.The Treasury Department appeared open to the proposal Tuesday, since it would also expedite action this week on Secretary Henry Paulsonrsquo rescue plan to shore up investor support for the two mortgage finance giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
