law took effect, and the U.S.
attorney's office for Kansas released it Thursday."Kansas may not prevent
federal employees and officials from carrying out their official responsibilities,"
Holder wrote in his letter. "And a state certainly may not criminalize
the exercise of federal responsibilities."Patricia Stoneking, president
of the Kansas State Rifle Association, said gun rights supporters were prepared
for such a response from President Barack Obama's administration. The president
has sought new gun control measures since December's deadly mass elementary
school shooting in Newtown, Conn.The Republican governor is a gun rights
supporter, and the measure passed the GOP-dominated Legislature by wide
margins. Kobach also is a Republican."I think the people of Kansas are
going to back this up," Stoneking said. "Probably thousands of grass-roots
citizens are all in."Brownback said in his letter to Holder: "The right
to keep and bear arms is a right that Kansans hold dear."The
governor added, "The people of Kansas have repeatedly and overwhelmingly
reaffirmed their commitment to protecting this fundamental right."The Kansas
law is modeled on a 2009 Montana law that is being reviewed
by a federal appeals court, and Alaska lawmakers approved a similar measure
last month. Alabama, Missouri and Oklahoma lawmakers are considering similar
legislation.Supporters of the Kansas law softened it to say that federal
agents wouldn't be arrested or
The White House budget office is recalculating how to apply automatic spending
cuts for a handful of agencies, freeing up almost $4 billion for
the Pentagon and another $1 billion or so for Homeland Security Department
and NASA.Capitol Hill aides familiar with the White House changes say the
administration has identified almost $5 billion in cuts that can be restored
under its reading of the arcane budget rules governing the across-the-board
cuts, known as sequestration. The calculations would restore $5 billion
of the scheduled $85 billion in automatic sequestration cuts.An administration
official confirmed the calculations Friday but declined to comment further
because the process is ongoing. The official and congressional aides spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the
changes publicly.The move comes amid increasing public pressure to find
ways to lessen the impact of sequestration. Federal agencies are warning
that the mandatory cuts could mean cutbacks in services. Last week, Congress
passed and President Obama signed legislation giving the Federal Aviation
Administration the ability to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays
by tapping money in other accounts.The cuts officially began in March after
Congress and Obama could not reach an agreement on a broader budget
deal. The automatic cuts had been imposed under a hard-fought 2011 debt
and budget pact.The cuts have so far failed to live

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggested at a forum last month that
President Obama was helped in his historic 2008 bid by getting the
approval of the "elites and the media" for saying "the prescribed things."Thomas
made the comments during a CSPAN interview a month ago.Asked if he
thought he'd see a black president in his lifetime, Thomas -- who
is black, and a conservative -- said he did.But he said the
first black president would have to meet certain tests."The thing that I
always knew is that it would have to be a black president
who was approved by the elites and the media because anybody they
didn't agree with, they would take apart," he said. "And that will
happen with virtually -- you pick your person, any black person who
says something that is not the prescribed things that they expect from
a black person will be picked apart. ... So, I always assumed
it would be somebody the media had to agree with."Thomas also revealed
that he's never had an in-depth conversation with Obama, and has only
interacted with him "in passing."

Tounisi stood before the judge in orange jail garb and slippers, flanked
by U.S. marshals. Some 30 friends and relatives sat on spectator benches;
several cried after the judge ruled..Approving the release of anyone accused
on terrorism charges is uncommon, said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor
and now private attorney in Chicago."It's incredibly extraordinary," he
said. "It's usually a different realm with terrorist suspects. They're not
viewed as standard criminals but as enemies of the U.S."Pressure on a
judge to hold a terrorist suspect would be all the greater now,
said Turner, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.Prosecutor William
Ridgway had argued that Tounisi posed a threat to the community, saying
he sought to hook up with the al-Qaida-linked group in Syria even
after his friend Daoud's arrest."One would think that would be a wake-up
call," Ridgway said about the arrest. "But it didn't deter him."Tounisi
persisted even as family and friends warned him not to get involved
with extremists, Ridgway said. He quoted a friend as saying about Tounisi
in a wiretap, "He will not die a martyr. He will die
like road kill."The prosecutor said Tounisi also is a flight risk, noting
how he had managed to secure a U.S. passport on short notice
and to scrape together money for a plane ticket."He's very resourceful,"
Ridgway told the judge.But Tounisi's attorney, Molly Armour, said Tounisi
came from a carin
