President Obama will stare down the media today at his first press conference
since the spring. He will attempt to defend his
economic policies and fend off questions about his weakened political standing.
A federal judge in California ruled today that the military's "don't ask, don't tell"
policy is an unconstitutional violation of 1st Amendment and due process rights.
More policy from the bench: a federal appeals
court ruled that the City of Hazleton, Pa., cannot
punish businesses or landlords who hire or rent to illegal immigrants, while another court lifted an injunction on federal funding for human
embryonic stem cell research.
President Obama today will promote economic adviser Austan D. Goolsbee
to chair the Council of Economic Advisers, replacing outgoing Christina Romer.
