...arrest, though, Coffee County police learned that the warrant in the neighboring town had been previously recalled. Herring argued that the drug and weapon charges should be inadmissable because the arrest was unlawful. The district court and appeals court denied his request to suppress the evidence. What's at Stake: The pertinent issue in Herring's case is whether evidence should be the excluded if it is obtained during an arrest precipitated by what seems to be correct information given by another law enforcement agency, but in fact is erroneous. In hearing this case, the Supreme Court will revisit...

What's at Stake: Defining the proper procedures for identifying and interrogating suspected terrorists is a major issue for the U.S. government today, and it factors heavily in the philosophy behind this case. Arguably more important is that a decision in Iqbal's favor would open the floodgates for further cases questioning the right...
...Most campaigns give such free advertising away for, well, free, but they cost $8 apiece here. Having folks pay for signs gives them a real stake in the campaign, Obama believes. And it is one way to help pay for all those workers, though salaries are hardly lavish. College-age workers can get around $2,000 a month - they typically camp out with relatives or on the hide-a-beds of campaign donors - while even top field directors with years of experience have been offered salaries of less than six figures, according to one Washington insider...
