Friday's Daily Brief

2010-07-30       The Daily Brief     Doug Kendall: After Kagan, Lower Court Vacancy Crisis Looms AP Doug Kendall: With frustration boiling over, several Senate Democrats took to the Senate floor yesterday to protest the unprecedented delays directed against President Obama's judicial nominees. These Senators have good reason to be outraged. Sen. McConnell and his allies have taken the partisan war over the courts into uncharted territory -- delaying up-or-down votes on the Senate floor for even the most qualified and uncontroversial of the president's judicial nominees.

Granholm: 'Cracking the Code' to Keeping Manufacturing Jobs in America While we won't be able to keep all labor-intensive manufacturing jobs in America, we're now seeing the first real evidence of what it takes for advanced manufacturing to stay and grow in America. Johann Hari: The Demands of the Deficit Hawks Won't Cure -- They'll Kill if I tell you that Moody's has downgraded Ireland's debt, it sounds pretty irrelevant. In fact, if you decode this story, you'll discover the reason why you are going to be more likely to lose your job or your home soon. Dennis A. Henigan: Dr. King and the "Guys With the Guns" at the NRA We now know that the NRA will be joining Beck and Palin for Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th Anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Is it possible to imagine a greater offense to the legacy of Dr. King?
