2014: La incitaci\u00f3n racial al Senado hunde la nominaci\u00f3n del Jefe de Derechos Civiles<\/a>- Andrew Cohen - The Atlantic<\/strong><\/p>

We were disappointed to see Dego Adegbile, President Obama's pick to head the Department of Justice's civil rights division, be voted down this week for his organization's involvement in the criminal defense of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Andrew Cohen draws a continuity between what happened and the \"Willie Horton\" ads of 25 years ago, and argues that penalizing an individual for providing an individual with their constitutional right to a fair trial flies in the face of the rule of law.<\/p>

Los Super PAC y las organizaciones sin fines de lucro alimentan el conflicto republicano<\/a> - Dave Levinthal - Center for Public Integrity<\/strong><\/p>

One of the big political stories of the year has been infighting within the Republican party between the Washington establishment and insurgent Tea Party figures like Ted Cruz. Dave Levinthal outlines the major players and who's funding them -- with both sides rolling in dark money, the brawl is only going to get bigger.<\/p>

Pro-Obama Group Fires Fundraiser Who Diverted Felon's $100K Gift<\/a> - Michael Isikoff - NBC News<\/strong><\/p>

When we called out Organizing For Action, the nonprofit built on the remains of President Obama's 2012 campaign, for offering top donors face-to-face meetings with the president, they promised that they wouldn't sell access to the White House. Now, it turns out they went back on their word. OFA has fired a staffer following an MSNBC story alleging that she promised access to President Obama in a small clutch at a reception in exchange for a $100,000 donation, when the donor was actively seeking a pardon for his 1991 Medicare fraud conviction.<\/p>

El grupo conservador Alec pone la mira en la ciudad y el gobierno local<\/a> - Ed Pilkington - The Guardian<\/strong><\/p>

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a corporate front group that connects business executives with right-wing lawmakers to write \"model\" legislation is notorious for its impact on state and national policy -- most notably for its involvement with controversial \"Stand Your Ground\" policies in Florida and other states. Now, they're branching out to the local level.<\/p>

Juez jubilado de la Corte Suprema pide una enmienda constitucional para evitar la manipulaci\u00f3n partidista de los distritos electorales<\/a> - Ian Millheiser - ThinkProgress<\/strong><\/p>

El juez John Paul Stevens, famoso por su mordaz disidencia en Ciudadanos unidos<\/em>, argues in his new book that we should amend the Constitution to put a stop to incumbent-friendly redistricting that's locked many lawmakers into can't-lose districts until 2020.<\/p>
