[Pen-l] new frontiers in illegality

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE's news summary:
>The NY [TIMES] goes above the fold with news that the U.S. Embassy may have pressured the International Republican Institute—an international watchdog organization—to withhold sensitive exit polls after last year's disputed Kenyan election. There isn't conclusive proof, but NYT interviews and a look at the IRI's internal e-mails made it sound like the group was successfully pressured to help Mwai Kibaki—a U.S. ally—defeat challenger Raila Odinga, who named his son after Fidel Castro.

>The NYT fronts a look at what one interviewee calls "the end of the Fourth Amendment as we know it." As a lawyer in the Reagan administration, John Roberts launched a campaign against the exclusionary rule—a Supreme Court ruling that automatically removes improperly gathered evidence from consideration in a courtroom. Now, Chief Justice Roberts is edging toward a 5-4 majority for overturning it.<
