Chris Hedges on Challenging the NDAA
"Why I’m Suing Barack Obama" -- On my behalf, attorneys have challenged a law that allows imprisonment of U.S. citizens without trial.

Bill Boyarsky on Health Reform Politics
"Romneycare, v. 2012" -- The Affordable Care Act, the health reform signed into law by Obama, is now best known by the Republican label “Obamacare.” Romney hopes to ride that misleading word to the presidency.
