Peru: A Bill on Obscene Content (Cached)	29.6.2010	Global Voices
A few days ago the news broke of a bill that had been approved by the Justice Comission in Congress, proposing an amendment to section 183-B of the Penal Code, which sanctions the media publication of obscene and pornographic displays. As a result, opponents of the bill raised the banners of "Freedom of the Press" and "Freedom of Speech." Bloggers and internet media users are debating whether this bill really gets rid of these freedoms, or if it serves as a protection for minors and others who don't want to see that content.

A Study In Contrasts	29.6.2010	The Hotline
Which of these members of Dem leadership is running for re-election in a libertarian-leaning Mountain West state, and which one isn't up for re-election in an overwhelmingly blue state until '14? Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid , reacting to today's McDonald v. Chicago Supreme Court decision: "With today's ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has helped ensure that the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans will be protected in all corners of our country. The right to bear arms is one of the essential freedoms on which our country was founded. I am pleased that the high court has taken steps in both the Heller and McDonald cases to guarantee this fundamental right.

NV-Sen: Angle again proposes deregulating big oil	28.6.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
What's more insane? The fact that Sharron Angle, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Nevada, is once again proposing to deregulate the oil industry or that she did so in an interview with the revolution-minded website ResistNet.com? Think Progress: ANGLE: I was just saying we are over regulating some of our industries and of course the oil and petroleum industry is one of those we’ve been over regulating and that has what has been dependent on foreign oil. And of course that dependence gets us into big troubles overseas. And, we need to not have the dependence, we need to come back and explore our domestic resources and take the regulation off. If we would take the regulation off, we could explore in ANWR, and also some of the other places ...

SCOTUS: Second Amendment Applies To State/Local Laws	28.6.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
Two years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms , leaving for another day two questions: (1) what is the extent of that right?, and (2) to what extent does the Second Amendment apply as a restriction on state and local laws? Today's Supreme Court opinion in McDonald v. Chicago is all about the second one. I tried to explain what this question was all about back in March when the Court held oral argument in the case. Basically, through a haphazard process called "selective incorporation" the Supreme Court had determined which facets of the Bill of Rights applied to states -- such as the 1st and 8th Amendments -- and which did not, such as the 7th Amendment right to a ...
