The White House responded by saying the memo "raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions made at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the FBI to use the government's most intrusive surveillance

The Big Mac And The Crocodile

Dear Friend, 2017 will be remembered as the year that the so-called ‘peace process’, at least in its American formulation, has ended. And with its demise, a political framework that has served as the foundation for US foreign policy in the Middle East has also collapsed. The Palestinian leadership and its Arab and international allies will now embark on a new year with the difficult task of drumming up a whole new political formula that does not include the United States. Cyril Ramaphosa, the next President of South Africa, was the man behind the entry of international fast food behemoth McDonalds into the country, earning him the sobriquet “The Big Mac”. Zimbabwe’s new President Mnangagwa bears the nickname “The Crocodile” from his days as head of Robert Mugabe’s secret police for, like his namesake, coming out of nowhere to suddenly snatch his victims, never to be seen again Also more stories from around the world.  If you don't mind, and if you think the conten

NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL Supreme Court Brief POWERED BY  LAW.COM Tony Mauro Marcia Coyle Dec 20, 2017 The year 2017 sped by like one of the late Justice Antonin Scalia's famed trips across the 14th Street bridge. With Neil Gorsuch taking his seat in April, the Supreme Court is back in blockbuster mode with more to come in 2018. We're closing out the year with this issue of the Supreme Court Brief and while we aren't offering visions of sugar plums, we've got lots of items to  satisfy the inner SCOTUS nerd . A First Amendment challenge to mandatory bar membership has landed at the justices' door and is certain to spark both opposition and support. The solicitor general and the ACLU continue their court fights over immigrant teens seeking abortions and the government's allegations of unethical conduct by ACLU lawyers. We'll recap our  deep dive into diversity —or lack of—among high court clerks. And for last-minute holiday shoppers

The Daily 202: Trump launches a rescue mission to save GOP seat in Pennsylvania special election.....

Trump launches a rescue mission to save GOP seat in Pennsylvania special election White House counselor Kellyanne Conway deplanes Air Force One in December. (Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images) BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA: PITTSBURGH—If Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone wins an unexpectedly close special election here next Tuesday, it will be on Donald Trump’s coattails.  On the other hand, this race wouldn’t be competitive at all if the president was not so polarizing – even in a mostly blue collar, largely rural southwestern Pennsylvania district that he carried by 20 points in 2016. This race should be a gimme for the GOP. Democrats didn’t even bother to field a candidate in 2016 or 2014. But public and private polls show the contest in the 18th district is now a toss-up, even after Republicans have poured in more than $10 million – about five times what Democrats have spent.
