PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia family said they are outraged over the arrest of one of their family members. The family of Neftaly Cruz said police had no right to come onto their property and arrest their 21-year-old son simply because he was using his cell phone's camera. They told their story to Harry Hairston and the NBC 10 Investigators. "I was humiliated. I was embarrassed, you know," Cruz said. Cruz, 21, told the NBC 10 Investigators that police arrested him last Wednesday for taking a picture of police activity with his cell phone. Police at the 35th district said they were in Cruz's neighborhood that night arresting a drug dealer. Cruz said that when he heard a ...

Founded on March 16, 2002, LEAP is made up of current and former members of the law enforcement and criminal justice communities who are speaking out about the failures of our existing drug policies. Those policies have failed, and continue to fail, to effectively address the problems of drug abuse, especially the problems of juvenile drug use, the problems of addiction, and the problems of crime caused by the existence of a criminal black market in drugs. Although those who speak publicly for LEAP are people from the law enforcement and criminal justice communities, a large number of our supporting members do not have such experience. You don't have to have law enforcement experience to ...

Lou Dobbs took a critical look at President Bush's use of signing statements. An American Bar Association task force has determined that the president's use of signing statements are a violation of the Constitution. Signing statements are similar to a line-item veto which the Supreme Court said was unconstitutional. Dobbs quotes the ABA, "This is an outrage being perpetrated against the Constitution of the United States."

His treatments included liquid herbal supplements and a sugar-free, organic diet consisting mostly of fresh fruits and vegetables. When they ...

First published: Friday, July 7, 2006 In the winter of 1933, before Franklin Roosevelt's first inauguration on March 4, there was a clamor in the United States for a military dictatorship. The banks were closing, a quarter of Americans were unemployed, rebellion threatened on the farms. Only drastic reforms, mandated by the president's power as commander in chief, would save the country. Something like the fascism of Mussolini's Italy, viewed benignly by many Americans in those days because it worked, or so everyone said, would save the country from communist revolution. As Jonathan Alter reminds us in "The Defining Moment," his brilliant book about FDR's first hundred days, men ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's penchant for writing exceptions to laws he has just signed violates the Constitution, an American Bar Association task force says in a report highly critical of the practice. The ABA group, which includes a one-time FBI director and former federal appeals court judge, said the president has overstepped his authority in attaching challenges to hundreds of new laws. The attachments, known as bill-signing statements, say Bush reserves a right to revise, interpret or disregard measures on national security and constitutional grounds. "This report raises serious concerns crucial to the survival of our democracy," said the ABA's president, Michael ...

July 22/23, 2006 -- This past Thursday, two audience members at the NAACP convention were arrested briefly by the Secret Service for responding to George W. Bush's call for curing diseases. They yelled, "How about curing a disease called Dick Cheney!" The Secret Service removed the protestors from the DC Convention Center and held them for about 15 minutes. One of the questions that Secret Service asked them was, "What's your problem with Bush?" It would take this editor much longer than 15 minutes to explain to the Secret Service what is wrong with Bush.

Bush’s Signing Statements Are a Real Danger By Bob Barr, Special to Roll Call Tuesday, July 18, 2006 at 9:00 AM Late in June, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Pennsylvania’s Arlen Specter (R), presided over a hearing about presidential signing statements. This might seem an obscure issue, of little importance in Americans’ daily lives. However, presidential signing statements go to the very heart of our country’s system of checks and balances. Throughout history, signing statements have been used to thank supporters, provide reasons for signing a bill or express satisfaction or displeasure with legislation passed by Congress. More recently, Presidents ...

On June 23, the New York Times and other papers revealed that the Bush administration has been vacuuming up records passing through a Belgian hub for international banking. According to Treasury Undersecretary Stuart Levey, the United States government may have conducted “hundreds of thousands” of warrantless searches of personal financial data. Some government lawyers doubt the legality of the program, and administration officials told the Los Angeles Times that it had only been “marginally successful” at going after al-Qaeda. No matter. The exposé set off perhaps the biggest boom in conservative press-bashing since Watergate. The White House quickly ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)--A federal judge Thursday rejected a government request that he dismiss a lawsuit challenging the Bush administration's domestic spying program. The lawsuit, brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, challenges President Bush's assertion that he can use his wartime powers to eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant. The government had argued that the lawsuit should be thrown out because it threatens to reveal state secrets and jeopardize the war on terror.

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr filed a lawsuit against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday, claiming Bloomberg's attempt to crack down on gun dealers was "careless, willful and clearly illegal." The lawsuit, filed in Cobb County Superior Court, is in response to a federal lawsuit filed by Bloomberg in May alleging that 15 firearm brokers in five states, including Georgia, were "rogue gun dealers." Bloomberg's chief spokesman, Stu Loeser, dismissed the suit as a "public relations stunt." Bloomberg recently went to Georgia and discussed gun control with the mayor of Atlanta, who is part of his coalition of mayors against gun violence. Barr said his ...

Gag Order By Lawrence Siskind For forty years, the United States has lived with a variety of government programs applying preferential treatment based on race or gender or both. These programs have generally been limited to education and public contracting. Recently, in a 2-1 decision, a panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision which may provide a foundation for applying preferential treatment to freedom of speech. If allowed to stand, the decision could authorize local governments to set varying limits to free expression, depending on the race, religion, or sexual orientation of the listener. Preferential treatment has proved one of the most divisive policies ...
