Terror, TSA and Our Rights as Sheeple With luck, this week's protests will force our government to limit airport porno scans and genital-area pat-downs to those seriously suspected of being dangerous. Similarly, a Manhattan jury's acquittal Nov. 17 of a terrorism suspect from all but one of 285 federal charges shows progress in the "war on terror," not a setback.

Justice Probe of CIA Torture Evidence: Another Whitewash Here's why the Justice Department's halt to its probe of CIA obstruction of justice involving torture looks like another whitewash. The DOJ compromised its probe from the beginning in 2008 by assigning it to Connecticut federal prosecutor John Durham, whom courts have twice implicated in suppressing evidence.

Kerik Appeal Documents Injustice By Judge at Sentencing Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik argued this week that a federal appeals court should vacate his four-year prison sentence because of serious errors and bias by his trial judge. The three major arguments in Kerik's brief filed Sept. 28 attacked U.S. District Judge Stephen C. Robinson, who put Kerik in solitary confinement pre-trial for until he agreed to plead guilty to corruption charges last November.

Obama, Press Ignore GOPer Use of DOJ to Cheat Voters, Taxpayers Far from limiting government as touted, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie used his previous post as his state's U.S. attorney to waste taxpayer funds to help himself and his cronies and crush political opponents.

Victims Of $3.6 Billion Petters Ponzi Fraud Protest Court Process Victims of the $3.6 billion financial fraud by Minnesota businessman Tom Petters are justifiably angry about the federal victim-restitution process that began after his 2008 arrest. The feds used hardball tactics to install well-connected cronies in key positions, which should trouble anyone who fears precedent if their own finances get trapped in such a dispute nationally.

What's Next After Kagan's Confirmation? With the Kagan appointment, we're now seeing the ascendancy of a well-credentialed careerist to a lifetime job where it seems likely she'll help further shift constitutional power toward an unaccountable Executive Branch vastly different than one the Framers envisioned. Kagan suggests she's comfortable with these dangerous long-term trends.

Case Closed on the U.S. Attorney Firings? DOJ's Political 'Purge' and Torture Probers Suppressed Evidence In Crime Case Four days before Connecticut's Nora Dannehy was appointed to investigate the Bush U.S. attorney firing scandal, her team of lawyers was found to have illegally suppressed evidence in a major political corruption case. Today we reveal that this previously unreported fact calls into question her entire national investigation. The revelations also compromise DOJ's internal probe by prosecutor John Durham into torture claims.

Obama Should Learn From the Artur Davis Debacle In Alabama Little-known Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks ran to the left of the better-funded Artur Davis and trounced him by a 62-38 margin even though the favored Davis is his state's senior Democratic congressman.
