DENVER ndash; Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Sen.

It has just been out there and as people think it through ... they just want to make sure [Congress] is trying everything, Schumer said during a roundtable discussion with Politico reporters and editors. While gas prices soared past $4 per gallon on Memorial Day, they have retreated some in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi D-Calif. , unveiled a plan to allow for some increased domestic oil drilling, coupled with a rolling back of tax breaks for large oil companies. Still, Schumerrsquo comments are sure to cause a stir with Republicans, who have been staging protests on the House floor during the August recess, demanding Pelosi call the House back in session to vote on the issue of domestic drilling. Early on, Schumer acknowledged, that Republicans had the upper hand on the energy debate but stanley thermos mug predicted the issue would not hurt Democratic candidates this November. In a few states, the energy issue set us back a little bit, Schumer acknowledged, but I think we are back, Schumer said.

This story was written by CNET s Declan McCullagh.Barack Obama took the oath of office Tuesday stanley cups uk with his hand on Abraham Lincoln s bible, a symbol of the historic beginning of his presidency. Even amid dark economic times - or perhaps because of them - the outpouring of goodwill and the sense of expectation has been astounding. The crowds thronging Pennsylvania Avenue showed it. The stanley cups uk celebrations in cities around the country showed it. So did a recent CBS News/New York Times poll suggesting that 68 percent of Americans believe Obama will be a good or very good president. After the inaugural parties are over, though, and after the millions of visitors who shivered for hours on the National Mall head home, the task of governing begins. Even today, we have only a hazy idea of how Obama will approach it: his voting record was the most liberal in the Senate, but his personnel c termo stanley hoices over the last two months have signaled a more moderate approach. The sobering truth is that on his first challenge - the economy - there s little that Obama can do right away. The Federal Reserve has already lowered interest rates almost as far as possible in part to encourage Americans to continue to borrow, which is a little like offering another hit to a meth addict. Bad investments made during the boom need to be liquidated; government action will most likely slow down that vital process. Contrary to what politicians claim, the Democrats half-tril

Former President Donald Trump is seeking to have his recent criminal conviction in New York tossed out, and his indictment dismissed, his lawyers said in a filing made public Thursday.Trump s lawyers say a recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity proves they were correct in arguing before the trial that certain evidence and testimony should have been withheld from the jury, because they were related to protected official acts of the presidency.The Supreme Court found that former president stanley cup s have broad immunity for official acts, and barred evidence involving those acts from being used in prosecutions over unofficial activity.

They re the ones who allowed this arrangement. They re the ones who did nothing about this arrangement until they got a request from our committee, he said. He added that the public deserves a neutral, detached arbiter to determine what is a matter of public record and what should be turned over to the special committee. I don t want everything. I just want everything related to Libya and Benghazi, he said.In particular, Gowdy expressed concern that the committee received none of Clinton s emails from a trip to Libya in 2011.
