Lining Up in the Drizzle for a Coveted Supreme Court Spot
This article reported on the Supreme Court's scheduled discussions today on Obama's health care laws and how intrigued the public seems to be with the issue, regardless of the fact that these types of conversations have been had in government several times before. Many of the people standing outside the Supreme Court were hoping to get a seat inside to listen to the arguments, while others stood with signs and simply wanted to express their opinions. Both lawmakers and citizens alike feel very passionately one way or the other about this legislation.

Hillary Clinton Asks State Dept. to Review Emails for Public Release
This article discussed the issue of Hilary Clinton using a personal and non government email account during her time as secretary of state. It was recently discovered that she had been having all her business emails handled through a private account while in office, which prevents the government from having access to some of her information if they had needed to. Clinton told the world through twitter a few days ago that she wishes for the State Department to have full access to her emails because she has nothing to hide, and would even like for the public to have access to these files.

A Winding Path to Funding Homeland Security
This article gave a summary of the timeline of fighting to fund Homeland Security in Congress and the controversy it has been causing. The main issues with the funding surround immigration; Democrats will only agree to fund the department if the president's immigration policies are put into action, and Republicans refuse to allow his immigration policies to pass. The Senate wants to make these issues into two separate bills, but the House wants to combine them.

This article was about the Alabama Court issuing a statement ordering judges to stop issuing gay marriage licenses, the same move Chief Justice Roy Moore tried to pull a few weeks ago on the night before the ban on gay marriage was scheduled to expire. This ruling goes against orders issued by the Supreme Court, and borders on being an illegal action.

This article was about the shooter of Michael Brown in Ferguson last August that sparked protests around the nation about civil rights.

Several days ago, he was also cleared of these charges, but new issues came up regarding the Ferguson police department and evidence found that they have prejudices against certain races and talk fairly openly about these amongst themselves.
