Democrats were happy about the sequester cuts at all. i think harry reid at the very last minute tried to bring this up, his enormous dissatisfaction about the fact this was taken off the table as even a discussion item. the center for american progress had written a report in september basically saying we cant allow a clean continuing resolution with sequester cuts. on the one hand, the effort to defund obama care did hurt the republicans in the polls. theres no question about it. on the other ...

His intention is to stay in russia in the long term. he no longer wants to move on. his initial intention was not to stay here but to get to one of those latin american country who is offered him protection earlier. he thought the united states an its allies would go out of their way to stop him and probably be successful. he initially sought asylum here as a fallback position. hes only applying for temporary asylum. his lawyer says hes talking about staying in this country for the long term. >>...

Involuntary manslaughter. put aside what happened before the statement was made. then you have the question whether the force used was reasonable. whether or not the injuries he would receive are of a sufficient nature that it would cause a reasonable person to think their life was in danger. given what we have from the facts, it doesnt appear these are particular injuries. even though theres blood, it wasnt deep seeded injuries of a kind. you could say you have a good faith but unreasonable bel...

Away fwr from their parents, maybe a difficult situation at home or they just want to have freedom. are they never heard from again and police rest the case, they kill it? what happened to these cases, do you think? >> the fallback position used to be that if a girl is missing or a child is missing, that theyre most likely a runaway. that would absolve law enforcement of most responsibility. weve learned the 20 years since polly that thats not the case at all. for a variety of reasons, children ...
