Regardless of political ideology or party, Americans recognize the importance of following the basic rules of government laid out in the U.S. Constitution. As President Ronald Reagan said in 1988 at the confirmation of Justice Kennedy, “The federal judiciary is too important to be made a political football and the American people should expect … for the Senate to get to work and act.” Today, some U.S. Senators are threatening to turn their backs on Constitutional requirements to hold hearings to consider the President’s nominee for U.S. Su...

But few took note when people converged in Washington to protest radioactive pollution affecting the water of Native American communities. Even though the level of contamination is far higher and persisted longer than the crisis in Flint, there was barely a peep from the mainstream media. Since the 1950s, waste fro...
ALBUQUERQUE — The federal government recommends Native American courts dole out treatment, counseling and foster care to young criminals instead of fines and detention, a change in tribal guidelines that reflects a national shift in juvenile justice reform.
