...then the long-term solution doesn't lie in redefining who is actually homeless until there is a small enough number to be served by the budget. The answer lies in getting enough funding to help all of those who are, particularly in this brutal economic cycle, facing the prospect of having a job and a family but no home.

While the Senate prepared to consider Manion last week, the House was pondering the arduous prospect of a judicial impeachment. Convicted two years ago of income tax evasion, Nevada Federal District Judge Harry Claiborne began serving a two-year sentence last month at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. The first sitting federal judge to be imprisoned, Claiborne, a Carter appointee, has refused to resign, continues...
