...lawsuit, including New Jersey and Washington, and it seems to be on solid ground. Though the White House had initially taken the position that the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide was not a pollutant and therefore not covered by the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Supreme Court eviscerated that argument in a case taken against the EPA by Massachusetts back in April. That the EPA still hasn't ruled on California's waiver shows that "the administration is just trying to run out the clock on global warming," said Philip Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust...
...between the '60s and today? -Daniel Kolich, Aliquippa, Pa. There's no linear view of the '60s. There's no consensus. When I wrote The Greatest Generation there was a common idea of what that generation was all about. You mention the'60s and you start an argument...

Clinton then pointed to other Senators - people like Jack Reed, Dick Durbin and Carl Levin - who had voted against the Iraq war and yet supported the resolution, but that's the sort of argument you make when you can't convincingly explain your own actions. My guess is that she's taking political cover on Iran. Clinton's actual foreign policy positions haven't been much different from Joe Biden's or Obama's. She is rhapsodic about the possibilities of diplomacy...
