One day after Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. helped President Obama bungle the oath of office on Inauguration Day 2009, the president held a do-over at the White House out of "an abundance of caution" over constitutional hiccups. Now, lawmakers are wondering where that caution has gone.
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
In June, [Hugh Kaufman] made his case before a Department of Labor administrative law judge, testifying that former EPA head Christine Todd Whitman closed down the agency's National Ombudsman Office in an effort to stop investigations that Kaufman was conducting. On Jan. 9, 2002, Kaufman's boss, National Ombudsman Robert Martin, announced he was going to open an investigation into the agency's 9/11 response. Five days later, Whitman closed the ombudsman's office and appropriated the 9/11-related files. Kaufman was eventually reassigned to a paper-pushing desk job. Due to the possibility for appeals, the courts won't resolve Kaufman's case prior to Inauguration Day 2009. Consequently, according to a PEER press release, "The fate of the National Ombudsman Office may be one of the early de...

Over the past few months, the news has been almost incomprehensible. It's hard for many of us to make sense of the failure of major Wall Street firms and large banks and the $700 billion bailout of the financial sector. And it's hard for investors to be calm when stocks have fallen more than 40 percent between October 2007 and Inauguration Day in 2009. What can you do to cope? Consider the following "checklist" for surviving a financial crisis:
* At 9 PM, in celebration of the network's anniversary, TV One will air a two-hour anniversary special at 9 PM of TV One on One, its long-running interview series hosted by Radio One Chairperson and acclaimed former radio talk show host Cathy Hughes.

Quoting from Luke 4:21 in the Bible, [James A. Forbes] told members of United Methodism's Black caucus that he heard the voice of God on the day of President [Barack Obama]'s inauguration telling him that 2009 would be "the year of the Lord's favor." He acknowledged the dire problems facing the nation, including a steep economic, decline; widespread loss of jobs, homes and investments; two intractable wars; a growing crime rate and prison population; and the unrelenting rise of HIV and AIDS in the Black community. Yet, he said, "Sometimes God specializes in doing great work in times of deep trouble...God will do something this year that will be called amazing. There is a tradition in Heaven," he explained, noting the 1968 assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F....
With the release of a bipartisan Senate Armed Services Committee report, we now know that not only did former Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld grossly mismanage the ground war in Iraq, but that he was directly responsible for myriad prisoner abuses that the committee concluded "damaged our ability to collect accurate intelligence that could save lives, strengthened the hand of our enemies, and compromised our moral authority." I am sure that this scathing indictment of Mr. Rumsfeld does not diminish him in the eyes of our like-minded vice president, who outrageously characterized him as "the best secretary of defense the United States has ever had." I am also certain that Mr. Rumsfeld will not face any sanction or discipline, nor will he apologize for anything he has done to dimi...
