Members say their months of strategic behind-the-scenes work leave them poised for the most active semester in the campaign's brief history...
...also taken with Out the Fire, a charming animated short depicting skeletons dancing and riding fire extinguishers through New York City. There’s something infectious about its crude drawing style and its jaunty Caribbean soundtrack.

"Thermal imagers do not literally or figuratively penetrate the home and reveal private activities within," the U.S. Solicitor General's Office wrote in his brief. "Unlike a hypothetical sophisticated X-ray device or microphone that could perceive activity through solid walls - observations that would amount to searches - a thermal imaging device passively detects only heat gradients on exterior surfaces...
