...already seen the power the Court has over global warming legislation. In April of 2007, the Court shocked the Bush Administration when it ruled against the federal government in the landmark case of Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The state was pushing the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act; the agency denied it had that right. To the surprise of many, the White House not the least, the Court ruled in favor of Massachusetts, issuing a majority opinion that the EPA did have the right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and that under...
...Obama's fund-raising peaked in February, when he took in a record $55 million for the month. Since then his numbers have been in steady decline: $41 million in March, $31 million in April, $22 million in May. That said, $22 million in any other cycle would be record-breaking. McCain posted his best month ever in June: $22 million. And there is a natural cooling-off period after the primaries. With gas prices sky-high, some small donors may feel like Obama doesn't need their $25 as much as they do. "The thing we are a little...

In a video to donors on Monday, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe warned that the McCain campaign has outspent Obama 3 to 1 in television ads since April.

In some ways, the recent spate of news stories fretting over the state of Obama's fund-raising can only help. After all, the revelation that Clinton had been forced to loan herself $5 million before Super Tuesday spawned...
...June, his highest monthly haul ever. (By comparison, it matches Obama's May total, the Democrat's lowest of 2008.) That leaves McCain with $27 million cash on hand, which can be added to another $67 million from the Republican National Committee. Davis also dropped this claim: Between April and the end of June, the McCain campaign has outspent Obama nearly three to one on television advertising buys, though that statistic is sure to fall now that Obama is moving onto general election footing...
Catholics from Staten Island to Sydney will remember that coverage of Benedict's April visit to the United States was dominated by his unprecedented attempts to heal the wounds from the clergy sex abuse crisis, including a series of heartfelt remarks and a private meeting in Washington with five victims from the Boston Archdiocese, which was hardest hit by pedophile priests. But though the scandal in the U.S. may have been the most widespread, and certainly most public, there are, in fact, cases of sex abuse all around the Catholic world - as there are, as the Vatican always points...
