Obama Can Fix the Race Gap in Sentencing Law

U.S. President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder attend the National Peace Officers Memorial Service at the Capitol in Washington May 15, 2013. President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are aware of serious racial discrimination in the administration of our nation?s criminal laws. What are they going to do about it?

President Barack Obama, commenting last week on George Zimmerman?s acquittal in Trayvon Martin?s death, remarked on ?a history of racial disparities in the application of our criminal laws?everything from the death penalty to enforcement of our drug laws.? A few months earlier, Attorney General Eric Holder similarly lamented new government data suggesting that even today ?black male offenders? are sentenced to federal prison terms ?nearly 20 percent longer than those imposed on white males convicted of similar crimes.? These statements reveal that our nation?s first African-American president and first African-American attorney general are aware of serious racial discrimination in the administration of our nation?s criminal laws.?The question is what they plan to do about it?

Neither the president, nor his attorney general, has followed-up or suggested a fix for the problem.?Yet with one signature, Obama could make a remarkable difference: He could use his constitutional powers to commute the sentences of thousands of disproportionately black inmates serving excessive prison terms for crack cocaine offenses. Put bluntly, rather than dropping occasional comments about high-profile criminal-justice incidents with racial overtones, both the president and the attorney general should make a focused and sustained effort to redress longstanding criminal justice disparities.

The disparity between crack and powder cocaine sentencing has been the most notorious example of profound racial bias baked into our superficially neutral criminal laws. For decades, federal law punished crack cocaine offenses more severely than comparable crimes involving powder cocaine. As a result, strict federal sentencing laws enacted during the height of a perceived ?crack epidemic? hammered those who dealt in even tiny amounts of crack with five- and 10-year mandatory minimum prison terms.

Today, roughly 30,000 federal inmates, representing approximately 15 percent of the entire federal prison population, are serving time for crack cocaine offenses. And more than 80 percent of those men and women are African-American.

In 2010, recognizing the racial bias reflected in these drug laws and the profound impact they had on African-American offenders and communities, Congress?passed the Fair Sentencing Act to significantly reduce the penalties for crack cocaine offenses. The new law?s preamble acknowledges the injustices associated with the now-rescinded sentencing laws, and states that it is designed ?to restore fairness to Federal cocaine sentencing.??

Congress, however, did not make the new law retroactive. So it does not formally apply to those convicted and sentenced before the date it was signed into law, although, somewhat ironically, the U.S. Sentencing Commission?the federal agency responsible for developing fair sentencing guidelines?was permitted to make its guidelines retroactive in a way that could help some of the more serious crack offenders serving the longest sentencing terms under the old law. Consequently, more than 5,000 crack defendants who were among the least culpable of drug offenders?real men and women with real families?still languish behind bars serving excessively long mandatory prison terms imposed under a statutory scheme that?s been repealed largely because of its racially discriminatory impact.?

Federal courts have been powerless to provide relief because Congress never expressly authorized them to do so. Recently, one divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit found a way to correct that. While conceding that Congress had no discriminatory intent when it passed the original crack laws, those judges said that they could not ignore their real world impact in applying the new act. For example, they noted that from 1988 to 1995 not a single white person was charged with crack-related crimes in 17 states, including major cities such as Boston, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, and Los Angeles. The panel further observed that in 2010, before passage of the Fair Sentencing Act, almost 4,000 defendants, mostly African-American, received mandatory minimum sentences for crack crimes.

The court thus concluded that, because of the racial bias endemic to the now-repealed laws, the Constitution?s commitment to equal protection of the laws required application of the new law to old cases, even if the statute didn?t authorize it. The appeals court even went so far as to say that like ?slavery and Jim Crow laws, the intentional maintenance of discriminatory sentences? violates the U.S. Constitution. Disappointingly, the Obama administration appealed that ruling to all of the judges of the 6th Circuit, and experts predict that the more conservative judges on that court will reject the ?equal protection? theory upon which retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act is based.

So what does the administration plan to do to ameliorate a continuing racial bias in our legal system? A new ground-breaking report emerging from a conference of distinguished criminal justice experts provides a working blueprint for how to overcome persistent racial and ethnic disparities in America?s criminal justice system. But the simplest fix would be to start with the president.

The Constitution expressly gives President Obama the power to secure justice for the thousands of inmates serving prison terms longer than they would receive if they committed their crimes today?sentence commutation. The president?s use of this broad and unlimited constitutional ?power to grant reprieves and pardons??would correct a fundamental injustice.?After all, what?s appropriate for today?s crack offender is surely appropriate for yesterday?s offender as well. Don?t forget that when the now-rejected laws were first adopted in the late 1980s, Congress believed crack was instantly addicting. Lawmakers feared a generation of ?crack babies? would plague the nation for years to come, and perceived direct links between crack use and violent crime.

But now we know that legislators had their facts wrong.?As the Sentencing Commission?reported to Congress, crack is pharmacologically indistinguishable from, and produces harms no more severe than, powder cocaine, even to the unborn. The Sentencing Commission?s research also shows that crack?s use never reached anticipated epidemic proportions and that its consumption bears no higher correlation to violent crime than do other drugs. What?s more, the objective of the now-repealed laws?targeting high-level drug traffickers?largely failed. The majority of crack offenders still doing time today were low level street dealers, couriers, and lookouts.

Sentence commutations also would ameliorate the growing and costly problem of prison overcrowding.?The Justice Department warned the Sentencing Commission earlier this month of a budgetary crisis looming as a result of the growing federal prison population.?The report added that policymakers were confronted with a stark choice: Either ?reduce the prison population and prison spending? or be prepared for ?fewer prosecutors to bring charges, fewer agents to investigate federal crimes, less support to state and local criminal justice partners, less support for treatment, prevention and intervention programs, and cuts along a range of other criminal justice priorities.??

And commutations would rehabilitate Obama?s record of exercising his pardon and commutation power less frequently than any president in modern history. Were the president to make significant use of his constitutional clemency power this way, it would powerfully demonstrate to advocates on both sides of the aisle that his administration is prepared to do more than just talk about the need for criminal justice reform. Especially at a time in which many prominent GOP elected officials at both the federal and state levels are championing the need to be ?smart? and not just ?tough? on crime, a bold move by the leader of the nation who is also the leader of the Democratic Party could be a big catalyst for the kind of broader reforms urged by criminal justice experts.

Back in 2009, Holder famously described us as a ?nation of cowards? in dealing with race issues. And while both Holder and the president seem to have the courage to speak about high-profile cases, they have yet to show the fortitude and focus needed to turn high-profile controversies into constructive opportunities. If President Obama is genuinely committed to addressing racial disparities in the enforcement of our criminal laws, he can grant clemency today, and then make a sustained commitment to addressing these issues throughout his second term. If he fails to do so, he can, justifiably, be called our nation?s ?Coward-in-Chief? where race is concerned.

What?s All the Yellen About?

Late Monday, in a flurry of calls, the White House notified top House and Senate Republicans of President Obama?s overture for a mini ?grand bargain? on corporate tax reform. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew called House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., while White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

This was meant to soften the landing of Obama?s call to link a reduction in corporate tax rates (from 35 percent to no higher than 28 percent, with a 25 percent manufacturing tax rate) with a one-time boost in spending on infrastructure, school construction, and community-college grants for worker retraining.

Republicans found the offer underwhelming. The White House didn?t much care. ?The bargain isn?t supposed to be for the Republicans,? White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said. ?It?s supposed to be for the middle class.?

Obama?s approval ratings on the economy remain slightly to heavily underwater. But Congress is worse, and Republicans remain Obama?s best foil.

Soon, however, Obama will have to make a decision with wide-ranging economic consequences that he will own for at least four years, and quite probably more. And while he may deploy the last-minute consultation techniques he used before rolling out his proposal Tuesday, no amount of hand-holding or soothing rhetoric from Lew, McDonough, and even Obama will shield the president from criticism or the consequences.

Obama is due to name a new head of the Federal Reserve in September. Current Chairman Ben Bernanke completes his second four-year term at the end of January. Already an intense and possibly divisive intra-party fight has broken out over the two likeliest nominees?current Fed Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen and Larry Summers, Obama?s former chairman of the National Economic Council.

The National Organization for Women backs Yellen and knocks Summers for alleged sexism while president of Harvard. Sheryl Sandberg, of Lean In fame, backs Summers as an advocate for women. The gender angle in the Democratic fight over the next Federal Reserve chairman tells you that the perception endures (among Democrats) that Obama will almost always choose a super-loyalist male over virtually any qualified woman.

Within economic circles, Yellen and Summers have their own loyalists, and the public jousting far exceeds anything before seen in a race to lead the Fed. The fever around the pick prompted The New York Timeseditorial board, a voice with outsized influence in the West Wing, to practically roar for Yellen?s appointment. A majority of Senate Democrats have signed a letter urging Obama to appoint her.

Obama is well aware of the Yellen-Summers donnybrook. ?I don?t think it is good for the process,? a senior administration official said. ?But it?s not going to materially affect the decision.?

Top White House officials concede that both Yellen and Summers are in the running, but it?s easier to find those willing to make the case for Summers. That?s not dispositive and could be a head fake. Summers is not only in the mix, but is probably leading among outside odds makers who have been sifting Obama's recent rhetoric on wage disparity, anemic economic growth, and the ravages of long-term unemployment. There is also this. A senior official also said all the Democrats who signed the pro-Yellen letter have assured the White House they will back Summers. Preferences, after all, are not confirmation votes.

While Obama?s umpteenth ?pivot? to the economy has a familiar ring to it, there is something economically and politically new here. Obama is telling Congress, for the first time since Republicans won the House, that he?s done with deficit-reduction politics. Debates over government shutdowns and default are too small, and Obama intends to use whatever rhetorical and policy leverage he has (the reaction to Tuesday?s proposed grand bargain suggests it?s minimal) to elevate growth and job creation over entitlement reform and sequestration.

That?s where the Federal Reserve pick fits in. In Obama?s interview with The New York Times, he said that the new Fed chair must understand that the central bank?s role is not about the technical balance of the money supply in relation to inflation and a strong currency. ?I want a Fed chairman that can step back and look at that objectively and say, let?s make sure that we?re growing the economy, but let?s also keep an eye on inflation, and if it starts heating up, if the markets start frothing up, let?s make sure that we?re not creating new bubbles.?

This may be Bernanke?s most important legacy?the concept, now embraced by the president, that the Federal Reserve chairman can and should play a more active, anticipatory, and certainly remedial role in the future of the U.S. economy. Obama has almost no personal relationship with Yellen. This is counted against her. But she did, as the Senate Democratic letter points out, warn about a housing bubble before the market collapsed. And she gave an impassioned speech to the AFL-CIO in February about the Fed's active role in the economy. Of the chronically jobless, she said: "These are not just statistics to me. We know that long-term unemployment is devastating to workers and their families."

When White House aides talk up Summers, it is usually in the context of his relationship with Obama during the darkest days of the Great Recession, shaping policies Obama believes saved the country from another depression. That relationship is real and meaningful. But Summers did not anticipate the Great Recession, and some believe his advocacy for an end to Glass-Steagall helped set it in motion. Top administration officials disagree, but Obama?s criteria appears clear: seeing a crisis before it strikes and dealing with Fed policy outside of its historically abstract sandbox. If you place the Summers-versus-Yellen campaigning aside, and take Obama's own words at face value, he's leaning toward Yellen.

Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy NX hits UK retailers at a weighty ?1,299 ($2,000)

Image

We expected the Samsung Galaxy NX camera to cost a bundle when it was first announced, and if pricing from UK retailer Jessops proves accurate, we aren't going to be "disappointed." The Android-powered mirrorless model will run £1,299 ($2,000 or so) with an 18-55mm kit lens, more than Canon's fearsome EOS 70D and pushing Panasonic's flagship GH-3. As you may recall, the Galaxy NX is the first-ever interchangeable-lens camera to run Android, and packs 3G / 4G LTE radios along with a 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor, 8.6fps shooting speed, WiFi, 16GB built-in storage, and 1/6000 shutter speed. We noted such strange bedfellows might make it a hard sell, especially considering some shortcomings for demanding photographers, like a slow start-up time and lack of manual dials. Jessops is showing the model in stock, while another retailer called Wex merely has it up for pre-order, so we're not sure which has it straight. In any event, if you're one of the few who thought high-end cameras really needed an Android OS, hit the sources.

Apple's new suppliers are 'even worse' than Foxconn, says China Labor Watch

Image

Just as Pegatron has managed to snatch more Apple contracts away from Foxconn, so too has it attracted greater scrutiny of the conditions faced by its 70,000 workers. China Labor Watch, the US-based worker welfare monitor, now alleges that Chinese factories run by the up-and-coming Taiwan-based manufacturer are "even worse" than Foxconn's. It claims to have found health and safety violations, poor living conditions in dorms, and the coercion of workers by withholding their pay or identity cards -- in other words, the sort of stuff that breaches both Chinese law and Apple's supplier policy. Its latest report also accuses Apple of failing to treat abuses with the same urgency that it applies to lapses in product quality.

For its part, Apple has responded by highlighting the fact that it has audited Pegatron facilities 15 times in the last six years, and that a recent survey found that Pegatron employees were working an average of 46 hours per week. It also said it had dealt promptly with earlier instances of ID cards being withheld, but admitted that China Labor Watch's report includes "claims that are new to us" and that will need to be investigated "thoroughly."

Sony Pictures Classics Unlocks Tim's Vermeer

Source: Sony Pictures Classics
July 29, 2013


Sony Pictures Classics announced today they have acquired worldwide rights to the documentary Tim's Vermeer, directed by Teller of Penn & Teller fame. Produced by Teller's stage partner Penn Jillette and Farley Ziegler, the film follows Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, as he attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all of art: How did 17th century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer ("Girl with a Pearl Earring") manage to paint so photo-realistically,150 years before the invention of photography? Jenison's epic research project ultimately succeeds as he uses 17th century technology -- lenses and mirrors -- to develop a technique that might have been used by Vermeer, supporting a theory as extraordinary as what he discovers.

Spanning a decade, Jenison's adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces; on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney; and eventually even to Buckingham Palace, to see the Queen's Vermeer.

Teller has gathered a notable crew including composer Conrad Pope (My Week with Marilyn) and post-production sound supervisor Larry Blake ("Behind the Candelabra") as well as award-winning editor Patrick Sheffield and director of photography Shane F. Kelly (A Scanner Darkly).

Says Jillette, "My buddy, Tim Jenison, told me over supper he was going to try to paint a Vermeer. Tim is a genius, but I'm a skeptic. I wanted to see him do it. Teller has been the Penn & Teller de facto director since our beginnings so we made a movie of Tim's whole monomaniacal trip. Having Sony Pictures Classics as the first words on the screen means it's more than just a couple of Vegas magicians and an eccentric inventor in his garage -- now, it's a real film that will change the history of art."

"This is an important and brilliant film. We have been admirers of Penn and Teller for decades. We look forward to presenting 'Tim's Vermeer' to audiences around the world," states Sony Pictures Classics.

Tim's Vermeer will be released in 2014.

First lady reveals president's plan

(CNS News) In an e-mail to supporters, First Lady Michelle Obama says she grew up in a family that didn?t need help from the government, and that her husband is working to make Americans free from dependence on government once again.

In her message sent yesterday from democratparty@democrats.org, Mrs. Obama says:

?When I was growing up, a family like mine ? living on my hard-working father?s salary at the city water plant ? could build a solid life without much debt and without relying on any form of public assistance. Today, for too many families, that American promise is no longer within reach.

Heisman Winner Johnny Football Attends Texas Fart Party, Gets Booted

published: 2013-07-28 14:27:06

As the first freshman in the history of college football to win the Heisman Trophy, Texas A&M quaterback Johnny Manziel is typically welcomed with enthusiastic and outstretched arms damn near everywhere he goes. Unfortunately for the man affectionately known as Johnny Football, however, there?s a big difference between damn near everywhere and everywhere. At least that?s what he found out this weekend when he was caught inside a frat party at the University of Texas and didn?t exactly get any autograph requests.

It?s still a little unclear whether Manziel exposed his own identity or whether someone did it for him, but the Longhorn students, who didn?t exactly watch his feats with the same admiration as Aggie fans, were none too happy when they discovered the quarterback in their midst. In fact, they threw his ass out of the party, and the rough (and many would say hilarious) treatment was caught on video.

You can take a look at the footage below. Manziel is the dude in pink?

As you can see, someone definitely whips a beer can at him on his way out. There are definitely more than a few harsh words exchanged, and judging by his button down, he may have had a drink poured on him while inside. From a detached perspective, it looks like poor sportsmanship on the part of these frat dudes, but personally, I don?t have a problem with it. There?s a heated passion in college sports that?s unfound anywhere in the world of professional sports. It?s a well known fact that you don?t visit a college rival with your own school?s merchandise on unless you?re willing to catch an almost endless barrage of shit, and if you?re Johnny Football, you can expect even worse. Besides, a frat party has every right to kick anyone out the brothers don?t want to be there.

Despite his incredible fame, Johnny Football has had more than his share of off the field problems. From oversleeping his duties at the Manning Passing Academy to misdemeanor charges related to shoving an assistant coach to rumors of aggressive partying, Manziel has pushed the limits with his behavior. According to ESPN, he?s been completely unwilling to apologize for his mentality, however, and he?s repeatedly vowed to live life like a normal college student.

You can check out Johnny?s comments in response to this latest incident below?



The landscape of college athletics is rapidly changing. Debates on whether or not to pay players or compensate them for using their likeness are playing out in courtrooms. Because of his Heisman trophy win and incredible fame, Manziel is already at the forefront. He even owns a copyright on his own nickname. As such, he can continue to expect to make headlines for years to come, though for his sake, I hope most have to do with on the field wins rather than off the field frat parties.

The Dos And Don'ts Of Cosplaying While Black

Man accepts plea deal in deadly Hawaii dam breach

LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) ? A retired car dealer pleaded no contest Thursday to reckless endangering in a dam breach in Hawaii that swept seven people to their deaths in 2006.

State Attorney General spokeswoman Anne Lopez says that in exchange for James Pflueger's plea, state prosecutors agreed to drop seven manslaughter counts.

Lopez says the agreement calls for five years' probation when he's sentenced Jan. 23. At the sentencing, prosecutors can argue for additional conditions such as community service, a fine and up to a year imprisonment, Lopez said.

Pflueger's company, Pacific 808 Properties, pleaded no contest to seven counts of manslaughter. The company will pay a $350,000 fine that will go toward a dam inspection and safety program.

"I am satisfied that by entering into this plea agreement Pflueger has accepted responsibility for his part in this tragedy," Attorney General David Louie said in a statement. "It is my hope that the events of today can provide a degree of closure for the families and community affected by the Ka Loko dam breach."

He said he's pleased Hawaii will have an additional $350,000 to help prevent similar tragedies.

Each manslaughter count would have carried a sentence of 20 years in prison for the 87-year-old landowner, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

Pflueger's attorneys couldn't be reached for comment.

The victims were killed after the century-old Ka Loko dam broke on Pflueger's property, sending hundreds of millions of gallons of water downstream.

One of the accusations against Pflueger was that the dam's emergency spillway, designed to keep water from flowing over the dam, had been covered. He has repeatedly denied that he had the spillway filled. An independent investigator concluded the lack of a spillway caused or contributed to the failure.

The case has seen lengthy delays since he was indicted in 2008, but prosecutors had been preparing to take the case to trial after Pflueger rejected the deal in April.

Kauai County in 2010 agreed to pay $7.5 million for its portion of a settlement covering lawsuits filed by the families of the victims. The state's share was $1.5 million.

Curiosity Rover Samples Air for a Taste of Mars History

Early data from the rover teases out new details of Mars?s atmosphere and how it changed over billions of years

    Read More??

It?s time to update the list of ingredients in Martian air.

In late 2012 NASA?s Curiosity rover drew air into its onboard laboratory and analyzed Mars?s atmospheric composition with a pair of spectrometers. The results of the investigation, published July 19 in Science, revise decades-old data on the makeup of Red Planet air and paint a broad picture of how the atmosphere has changed since the planet?s formation.

The diaphanous layer of gas enveloping Mars, where the atmospheric pressure is only about 1 percent of Earth?s at sea level, is predominantly carbon dioxide, with much smaller contributions from nitrogen and argon. Together those three gases constitute more than 99 percent of the atmosphere. (Earth?s atmosphere is also dominated by three gases: nitrogen, oxygen and argon, in that order, plus a variable amount of water vapor.)

But NASA?s Viking mission in the 1970s detected a significantly larger contribution from nitrogen than argon?2.7 percent nitrogen to 1.6 percent argon. The new measurements from Curiosity?s Sample Analysis at Mars spectrometers show that the two gases are present in almost equal amounts. In fact, argon (1.93 percent) appears to be slightly more prevalent than nitrogen (1.89 percent). The precision of the new measurements leaves little room for uncertainty, although future data from Curiosity will help constrain any seasonal variations in the atmospheric makeup.

The rover is already investigating longer-timescale changes to Mars?s atmosphere by measuring which gases are present and which nuclear isotopes are in those gases. (Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different atomic masses.) Researchers can then compare the isotopic measurements with ancient gases trapped in Martian rocks that, freed from the surface by impacts, have fallen to Earth as meteorites.

?It tells us for the first time the atmospheric composition to an accuracy that?s high enough to make direct comparisons to the meteorites in all our labs,? says experimental atmospheric scientist Chris Webster of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., lead author of one of the new rover studies.

The ratio of isotopes in carbon dioxide molecules, for instance, can indicate how much of the Martian atmosphere has been lost to space?whether blown away by meteor strikes or stripped by solar wind. Carbon dioxide molecules made with run-of-the-mill carbon-12 (the most common form of that element) are lighter than molecules containing the heavy isotope carbon-13 and escape to space easier. Therefore, atmospheric loss leaves a planet?s carbon dioxide reservoir depleted in carbon-12 and relatively enriched in carbon-13.

Compared with past missions such as Viking and NASA?s Phoenix lander, Curiosity has revealed a greater role for carbon-13, supporting the idea that Mars once had a much richer atmosphere. Intriguingly, the Curiosity data closely match analyses of a meteorite called Allan Hills 84001, which formed on ancient Mars before being ejected into space and subsequently landing in Antarctica. (The Allan Hills meteorite rose to fame in 1996, when scientists made the highly controversial suggestion that it might contain fossilized remains of Mars life.)

?We know that the Allan Hills meteorite is four billion years old,? Webster says. ?It traps gas from that early Martian atmosphere.? Curiosity, on the other hand, can determine the precise makeup of the atmosphere today. ?So we now have enough confidence and enough accuracy in the measurements to make that comparison. The overarching result is that the atmosphere has changed very little in four billion years.? In other words, it appears the bulk of Mars?s atmosphere was lost relatively shortly after the planet?s formation 4.5 billion years ago.

That does not mean there hasn?t been any recent variation. Methane, a gas that some planetary scientists expect to change greatly over time, is notably absent from the new studies. In recent years, measurements from Earth have indicated the appearance and disappearance of methane plumes on Mars that might spew from geologic?or even biological?sources. Those observations have stirred controversy, which Curiosity ought to help settle. The rover has yet to detect the gas, but that does not necessarily mean it is absent from the Martian atmosphere. The precise upper limits on methane abundance that rover scientists can infer from Curiosity?s nondetection will appear in a later study.

?That?s a big story, so we decided to separate it,? Webster says. ?We have a result that?s very interesting,? he adds, which has been submitted to Science for publication. ?We have no definitive detection of methane?I can tell you that.? It remains to be seen if Curiosity?s limits on methane abundance strongly conflict with the levels expected in the presence of seasonal methane belches from the Red Planet. If they do, the supposed plumes of mysterious origin may be consigned?alongside the purported fossils in the Allan Hills meteorite?to the long list of Martian mirages, much to the dismay of optimistic astrobiologists and an excited public. ?It?s not a message people want to hear,? Webster says. ?They don?t really want to hear that there?s no methane on Mars.?

NYC's gay pride march celebrates Supreme Court win

NEW YORK (AP) ? Only days after the Supreme Court used her lawsuit to grant same-sex couples federal marriage benefits, Edith Windsor helped lead New York City's Gay Pride march on Sunday.

Signs along the route read, "Thank you, Edie" ? celebrating Windsor for her successful challenge of a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

"If somebody had told me 15 years ago that I would be the marshal of New York City's gay pride parade in 2013, at the age of 84, I wouldn't have believed it."

Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined hundreds of bikers whose motorcycles roared to life at noon to kick off the celebration, a colorful cavalcade of activists and others who marched down Fifth Avenue 44 years after the city's first pride march.

"We're Dykes on Bikes," announced Marcia Jackson, of Burbank, Calif., a member of the lesbian motorcycle club who clutched the waist of Tyrone White on their motorcycle. Jackson grinned as she explained White's connection to the sisterhood ? he's undergoing a sex-change procedure.

Longtime LGBT activist Cathy Renna said Windsor's suit and the Supreme Court's favorable ruling in a challenge to Proposition 8, the California gay marriage ban, made this year's celebration special.

"It is an especially thrilling year to march this year," she said. "I have seen more real progress in the past three years than the nearly two decades of activism before it."

But, she added, "we must remain vigilant; hate crimes, discrimination and family rejection loom in our lives still."

A spate of recent hate crimes in New York provide a stark reminder of work left to be done. In one case last month, police said a gunman used homophobic slurs before firing a fatal shot into a man's face on a Manhattan street alive with a weekend midnight crowd. The city's police commissioner called it an anti-gay hate crime.

A. Carlos Cardinas, a native of Colombia who lives in Queens, is a transvestite who dressed up in festive attire for the day: a green sequined top with a salmon-colored flower ringing the waist.

"We are so happy to live free in America," said Cardinas, a hairdresser who is engaged to be married to his boyfriend.

Carl Siciliano, who heads the Ali Forney drop-in center for homeless gay youth in Harlem, said he's happy about the court decision. But he said the humanitarian fight is not over.

"Now that our adults have won this wonderful victory, it is time for us to begin to build a safety net for the more than 200,000 homeless LGBT youth who are stranded on America's streets without shelter," said Siciliano.

Windsor said she long enjoyed the parade with her late wife, Thea Spyer, whom she married in Canada as Spyer was dying in 2007.

In 2009, she suffered a heart attack a month after Spyer's death. While recovering, Windsor faced a hefty bill for inheritance taxes ? more than $363,000, because Spyer was, legally, just a friend.

On Sunday, Windsor was one of three grand marshals, joining musician and activist Harry Belafonte and Earl Fowlkes, head of the Center for Black Equity.

"I have marched in the parade for the last several years carrying a huge rainbow flag," she said. "Last year, I was so elated that I danced my way down the whole street, for the entire route of the parade."

A look at Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood

Soon after the February 2011 fall of Hosni Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood opened its first public headquarters in a luxury villa in Cairo, with its symbol, two golden swords under the Quran with the slogan "Prepare," displayed on giant sign on the front. It was a landmark moment: After decades as a banned organization, the Muslim fundamentalist group was declaring it was now legal, public and a powerhouse in the new Egypt. Symbolically, the headquarters was located on a plateau where many of the group's early, executed leaders were buried decades ago.

Elections made it the strongest party in parliament and elevated one of its own, Mohammed Morsi, as the country's first democratically chosen president. On Monday, that headquarters was overrun, burned and ransacked by protesters who demanded Morsi's ouster.

A look at the Brotherhood:

STRUCTURE

The Brotherhood was founded in 1928, advocating rule by Shariah, or Islamic law, and grew into Egypt's most organized, disciplined and widespread political group, with millions of members nationwide and branches across the Islamic world.

At the top is the "general guide," currently Mohammed Badie. The group's executive leadership body is the Guidance Council, made up of 16-19 members. The general guide and the guidance council are chosen by the Shoura Council, the group's version of a legislature made up of 75-90 members chosen by regional councils nationwide.

The man believed to be the most powerful member is Badie's deputy, Khairat el-Shater, a wealthy businessman who was initially the Brotherhood's candidate for president until he was disqualified because of a previous prison term. Morsi ran in his place.

The Brotherhood's members swear an oath to "listen and obey" the group's leadership and are organized into a tight hierarchy. At the base is the "usra" or "family," basically a study group small enough that its members can meet regularly, build personal bonds, and discuss the group's teachings on Islam. Each of the thousands of "families" nationwide reports up a pyramid of authority and gets instructions from above.

Families in the blood-relative sense of the word also play a major role. Brotherhood members tend to marry within the organization, socialize together in its network of mosques, clubs and schools, and raise their children in the group. Its members include a wide range of professionals ? doctors, engineers, teachers and, importantly, very successful businessmen whose profits along with required dues help fund the group.

The group also runs extensive charities, providing free or cheap medical care, food and other services to the poor.

That structure helped the group survive and even spread during its years of arrests and crackdowns, particularly under Mubarak. It also made it a powerful force in elections, able to bring out many highly organized volunteers to campaign for Brotherhood candidates.

___

"THE BANNED ORGANIZATION"

In its early decades, the Brotherhood was involved in assassinations of Egypt's British colonial rulers and Egyptian officials. In 1954, President Gamal Abdel-Nasser banned the Brotherhood after blaming it for a failed assassination attempt against him. Leaders were executed and thousands of its members imprisoned, often subjected to torture.

In the next nearly 60 years, however, it grew, sometimes underground, sometimes semi-overt. It would test the limits of what the regimes would allow or would strike tacit deals with authorities, sometimes facing heavy crackdowns if it went too far.

Abdel-Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat, initially gave it some room to maneuver, and the group formally renounced the use of violence in 1973. The Brotherhood and other Islamist movements established strong networks in the universities, although Sadat arrested many when student activists began to denounce his rule. They were later freed by Mubarak, who took power after Sadat's 1981 assassination.

Under Mubarak, the group made forays into parliamentary elections, although the regime's rigid control and vote-rigging ensured opposition victories were minimal. It was allowed to run candidates under recognized opposition political parties in the mid- 1980s. In the early 1990s, it performed strongly in union elections, winning control of the leadership of several. Mubarak lashed back, suspending union leaderships and arresting Brotherhood members.

In the 2000s, the group pushed back into politics, running candidates as independents in parliamentary elections. Moderates in the group argued that the Brotherhood accepted the principles of democracy, and that the only way Egypt could be truly democratic was if the group was legal and allowed to compete freely. Its biggest victory came in 2005, when its candidates won a fifth of parliament's seats, despite clashes when Mubarak's security forces tried to block opposition voters.

The stunning showing prompted a new backlash. Mubarak's regime accused the group of plotting violence and money-laundering, jailing some of its top leaders, including al-Shater. Mubarak also rolled back promised political reforms, passing constitutional amendments that solidified his party's grip on elections.

When mainly leftist and secular youth called for massive protests against Mubarak on Jan. 25, 2011, the Brotherhood's leadership declined to join. However, young members did, and after a few days the leadership backed the protests. Still, even during the height of the 18-day uprising, Brotherhood officials met with Mubarak's intelligence chief, raising accusations they were willing to strike a deal if the ban on the group was lifted.

Soon after Mubarak fell on Feb. 11, 2011, the military rulers who took power lifted the ban. It quickly formed its first political party, the Freedom and Justice Party, initially led by Morsi.

___

IDEOLOGY

The organization calls for rule by God's law in Egypt, although it is often vague. Members say the group tolerates a range of opinion, but all on the conservative end of the scale.

Two figures hold a powerful sway over the Brotherhood's thought: Hassan al-Banna and Sayed Outb.

Al-Banna, a former teacher, founded the Brotherhood to resist both Britain's colonial rule and secularism in Egyptian society. Deeply conservative, he was a strong organizer and emphasized the idea that preaching and activism will spread the word of Islam. He was assassinated in 1949.

Qutb, a secular writer-turned-Islamist, rose in the Brotherhood in the 1950s and 1960s. He advocated a hard-line view that Islam must transform society and that a society that did not follow its precepts was in the "Jahiliya," or pre-Islamic pagan age. His ideology had a strong influence on modern-day jihadist groups. He was executed by Abdel-Nasser's regime in 1966.

The Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party's platform calls for Egypt to be a "civil, democratic state with an Islamic basis," saying it accepts the precepts of liberal democracy, such as free elections, the transfer of power and the will of elected bodies in establishing law. But the group, along with other Islamists, put clauses into the post-Mubarak constitution strengthening requirements that laws passed by parliament must not contradict Shariah.

At the same time, many in the top leadership are seen as religious hard-liners, and the ultraconservative Salafi ideology has made strong inroads into the group recently.

People line up for half-mile to get free 30-round ammo magazines before Colorado ban

By Gil Aegerter, Staff Writer, NBC News

Thousands of people lined up in Colorado on Saturday for the chance to get free 30-round gun magazines before they?re banned by a new state law.

The line at the ?Farewell to Arms Freedom? festival in the Denver suburb of Glendale stretched more than half a mile, the Denver Post reported. Magpul Industries, a maker of firearms accessories based in Erie, Colo., had donated 20,000 magazines for the event, with 1,500 given away and the rest to be sold at a discount.

The Post reported that the proceeds would go to the effort?to recall two state senators who helped push through the law, which goes into effect Monday. The event was put on by?Free Colorado, which says on its website that it is a nonprofit aimed at ensuring the rights of firearm owners.


The new law limits gun magazines to 15 rounds. People can still possess larger magazines, but those can?t be sold or transferred to other people in Colorado after Monday.

The law was passed in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, in which a gunman used 30-round magazines on a Bushmaster rifle to fire 154 bullets in less than five minutes. He killed 20 first-graders and six teachers and staff before shooting himself with a pistol.

"I don't see this as gun control," state Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who is not a target of the recall effort, told NBC station KUSA of Denver. ?These are common sense measures to deal with gun violence. We're not taking away people's Second Amendment rights. People can still have access to guns."

But such arguments haven?t satisified opponents. Magpul has threatened to move out of Colorado over the ban.

"We are not going to take this lying down," said Kelly Maher, spokesperson for Free Colorado, told KUSA. "We are going to stand up and we are going to fight for what we believe in."
