Senate Homeland Security Comm.
House Oversight Committee Leaders Chairman Darrell Issa and Elijah Cummings testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on the financial problems and long-term viability of the U.S. postal service. The two leaders disagreed on whether the postmaster general’s announcement to move to a five-day letter delivery service but said they still believe a bipartisan-bicameral deal was within reach.

Historic Supreme Court Oral Arguments: U.S. v. Robinson-1973
A police officer pulled over and arrested Robinson for operating an automobile without a valid permit. The officer then frisked Robinson and discovered a crumpled cigarette package containing fourteen vials of heroin in his pocket. Did the officer's search violate the Fourth Amendment?
The Court upheld the search. Distinguishing between searches done to discover concealed weapons and those conducted coextensive with an arrest, Justice Rehnquist argued since the officer did not conduct the search in an abusive or extreme manner, and because he acted consistent with the authority vested in a police officer when making an arrest, his actions were legitimate.

Supreme Court Oral Argument: Alleyne v. U.S.
In April 2010, authorities arrested Allen Alleyne and a grand jusry indicted him for robbery and possessing a firearm. After a week-long trial, the jury convicted Alleyne on both counts and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia sentenced him to 130 months in prison.
Alleyne appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, claiming the district court made three specific errors: 1) the evidence against him wasn’t strong enough to support his convictions; 2) he was convicted of aiding and abetting the robbery and not carrying it out, which changed his original indictment; and 3) he should not have received a mandatory 7 year sentence for possession of a firearm. The Fourth Circuit rejected all three of his claims. First, the appellate court refused to overrule the jury’s decision on the strength of the evidence because a jury is best equipped to determine whether evidence is credible. Second, since aiding and abetting a crime is not itself a separate offense, it does not need to be included in the indictment and does not change the original charge. Finally, there was no indication that the district court should not have imposed the minimum sentence for possessing a firearm.
At issue:
Did the district court find enough evidence to convict Alleyne for armed robbery? Did convicting Alleyne of aiding and abetting the robbery change the original indictment? Should the court have imposed a minimum sentence for possession of a firearm in relation to a robbery?

President Obama
President Obama Monday awarded the Medal of Honor to former Army Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesha (ROW-meh-shay). He’s being honored for defending a U.S. outpost in eastern Afghanistan on October 3, 2009, a battle which took the lives of eight American soldiers and wounded two dozen others. Speaking at the White House, the President said U.S. troops should never again be asked to “defend the indefensible,” a reference to Sgt. Romesha’s outpost, which positioned at the bottom of a valley, making it vulnerable to attack. This is the fourth time a living Iraq or Afghanistan veteran has been awarded the Medal of Honor. This runs about 20 minutes.
