Roll Call Reporter Says F.C.C. Security Pinned Him to a Wall

A commissioner apologized after two security officials blocked a journalist from asking questions in a public hallway after a hearing and made him leave the building.

Security people have a limited role in government.

People have the right to question bureaucrats in public spaces. 
Bureaucrats have the right not to answer those questions.

If a "common carrier" must limit use it can raise fees for all users on a per bit per mile basis.

What Is Your Reaction to the Recent Flood of Breaking Political News?

Is is possible to strike a balance between breaking news overload and being fully informed?

It is impossible to be fully informed at all times.
Representative government is necessary.
There are further problems in consensus formation.
Abstract facts often require administrative action.
Deliberation can establish policy.
Policy is not action.

". . . Form a committee and see what can be done by talking."

Life Behind Israel’s Checkpoints

It used to take 50 minutes to get to the airport. Now I give myself five hours.

None of palestine is occupied.
Palestine is conquered.
All the residents are properly Israeli.
If they are in rebellion against their conquered status there are consequences. 
They must be offered justice in the form of compensation in cash or land title.

Bob Casey Was an Understated Senator. Then Came Trump.

Casey, an even-tempered Democrat from Pennsylvania, has been ahead of the pack in his criticism of the president, at some political risk.

Bob Casey thinks he can win his next election.

Friday Mailbag: Spilled Beans, Monochrome Faces and Renegade Readers

The New York Times first withheld the source, but then went on to say that Israel provided the intelligence President Trump shared with the Russians.

The Times remains rational.
