ern for those beyond his political base.But unless
Obama can promise some penalty for the Democrats who refuse his demands,
defections will only increase as elections draw nearer.Note well that Sen.
Michael Bennett, the Colorado Democrat, longtime Obama ally and said to
be a favorite of the president, was one of those who voted
against the core provision of the presidents plan: a restoration and expansion
of the Clinton-era ban on civilian weapons mocked up to look like
military firearms.The ban on what gun-control advocates call assault weapons
only mustered 40 votes. And while this measure was always considered a
reach, it is a long-sought aim of the Democratic left. Bennett, who
doesnt face voters again until 2016, opposing that measure was a strong
signal that there would be limited intra-party consequences for opposing
Obama on the issue.Nine Democrats rejected the only measure on offer in
the Senate that would have arguably diminished the death toll in Newtown,
Conn.: restrictions on high-capacity magazines. The defectors here included
several usually reliable Obama allies like Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia
and Sen. Jon Tester of Montana.The president says he will keep pushing
for gun control. But whipping up pressure against Democratic incumbents
could mean multiple primary challenges and increase Republican chances of
taking control of the Senate. Whatever Reid says, it seems unlikely that
he will want to endanger his majority st
it of fear and timidity, but one of power and love and
self-discipline.Like Bill Iffrig, 78 years old, the runner in the orange
tank-top who we all saw get knocked down by the blast, we
may be momentarily knocked off our feet, but we'll pick ourselves up.We'll
keep going. We will finish the race.(APPLAUSE)In the words of Dick Hoyt,
who's pushed his disabled son Rick in 31 Boston Marathons, we can't
let something like this stop us.(APPLAUSE)This doesn't stop us.(APPLAUSE)And
that's what you've taught us, Boston. That's what you've reminded us, to
push on, to persevere, to not grow weary, to not get faint,
even when it hurts. Even when our heart aches, we summon the
strength that maybe we didn't even know we had and we carry
on. We finish the race. We finish the race.(APPLAUSE)And we do that
because of who we are. And we do that because we know
that somewhere around the bend a stranger has a cup of water.
Around the bend, somebody's there to boost our spirits. On that toughest
mile, just when we think that we've hit a wall, someone will
be there to cheer us on and pick us up if we
fall. We know that.(APPLAUSE)And that's what the perpetrators of such senseless
violence, these -- these small, stunted individuals who would destroy instead
of build and think somehow that makes them important, that's what they
don't understand. Our faith in each other, our love for each other,
our love for country, our common creed that cuts across whatever

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">d it pursued damages in the case.But, according
to the report, the Justice Department stayed away from that case in
order to get the city to drop an appeal to the Supreme
Court on another matter. The department was allegedly concerned that the
high court, in the course of reviewing that case, would strike down
a major element of civil rights enforcement.The case the Justice Department
was allegedly concerned about was St. Paul's appeal on a case in
which property owners said the city made extraordinary efforts, through
strict code enforcement, to condemn their properties. The owners said reducing
the amount of affordable housing for minorities violated the federal Fair
Housing Act -- by what is known as "disparate impact."Perez appeared to
think the Supreme Court overturning the case would have been a severe
blow to civil rights enforcement, the report concluded.The "disparate impact"
provision, which the report described as legally questionable, prohibits
housing policies that end up discriminating against certain groups even
if those policies are not blatantly discriminatory.Perez acknowledged Thursday
that he thought that case "was a poor vehicle for the Supreme
Court to address the broad issue."Asked why he intervened, he said "The
Department of Justice is really a guardian of the Fair Housing Act."Alexander
retorted: "Well, the Department of Justice is a guardian of taxpayers as
well."But Perez noted that the value of a losing case

for schools. Those measures were among the 23 executive actions the president
signed in January when he announced his broader push for tighter gun
laws in response to a mass shooting of first-graders and staff at
Newtown, Conn.'s Sandy Hook Elementary School.The Health and Human Services
Department on Friday was beginning to ask for public comment on how
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed by Congress
in 1996 and known as HIPAA, is preventing some states from reporting
to the background check system and how to address the problem. Under
HIPAA, health care providers such as hospitals may release limited information
to police, but only in certain circumstances such as when a court
is involved.Since 1968, federal law has banned the sale of guns to
those who have been deemed a danger to themselves or others, involuntarily
committed or judged not guilty by reason of insanity or incompetent to
stand trial. The background check system -- which is also used to
prevent convicted felons from buying guns -- was established under the 1993
Brady Bill.A few state agencies shared mental health records voluntarily
for years, but the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007 spurred passage of
legislation that required states to submit the records or eventually risk
losing up to 5 percent of the federal funding they receive to
fight crime.Last year's review by the Gover
