Doug Kendall says yes - but not for the reasons you might expect. Kendall is the founder of the Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC), a left-leaning legal think tank that watches Supreme Court decisions and advocates public-interest law. He points out that with the Court frequently deadlocked between more conservative voices (like Antonin Scalia and John Roberts) and more liberal ones (like Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg), the next President has the power to appoint a new Justice who will tilt the Court. Perennially debated matters, like abortion rights, could be at stake, along with new hot-button issues...
...under the skin. It's what allows the operation to be "minimally invasive" - its transparency lets us see what we're doing. I was worried sick when I started using salty water this way: could patients take all that fluid? Many thousands of cases later, the answer is clearly yes - no problem.

Yes, if compared with other means of transportation, such as autos. But given the rapid growth of air travel, today's low accident rate will mean greater numbers of crashes in the next decade unless safety is improved. In the wake of Schiavo's campaign, Congress has changed the FAA's mandate to make safety its primary mission...

Skimming several pages on Valujet's troubles, I stopped short at the field inspectors' bombshell: that "consideration should be given to an immediate FAR-121 recertification of this airline." Official FAA jargon, yes, but the meaning was clear: ground ValuJet...
...Etait as quite possibly "the best album ever made by the wife of a head of state," which, while undoubtedly true, is also a typically British form of insult. But Bruni is not a joke singer, or a novelty act crossing over from one genre to another. (And yes, I'm looking at you, Scarlett Johansson.) Bruni's 2003 debut, Quelq'un M'a Dit, sold over two million copies and thrilled critics...
