"A Rare Rebuke of Justices, in Front of a Nation"

"A Rare Rebuke of Justices, in Front of a Nation": Adam Liptak has this article today in The New York Times.

Today in The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that "Reactions split on Obama's remark, Alito's response at State of the Union." The newspaper also contains an article headlined "Democrats prepare legislation to counter ruling on campaign spending."

David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times reports that "Obama-Alito tensions surface at State of the Union address; There's a history behind Justice Alito's visible reaction to the president's criticism of a Supreme Court ruling. Now opponents in the debate over corporate election spending are taking sides." Meanwhile, in yesterday's newspaper, Stephen R. Weissman had an op-ed entitled "Campaign finance ruling's likely impact overblown; The Supreme Court's decision striking down limits on corporate spending in election campaigns is unlikely to change the political situation on the ground."

Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal reports that "Alito and Obama Face Alleged Breaches of Etiquette." The newspaper also contains an article headlined "Foreign Spending on Politics Fought"; an editorial entitled "Obama v. the Supremes: Alito wins the oral, and factual, argument"; and an op-ed by law professor Randy E. Barnett entitled "Obama Owes the High Court an Apology; The justices were there as a courtesy to him."

And today's broadcast of NPR's "All Things Considered" contained an audio segment entitled "Will Foreign Corporations Be Able To Influence U.S. Elections."
