  7. Sens. Ted Cruz and Dianne Feinstein face off on gun control

    Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a tea party darling, evidently is so proud of his exchange with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) during the Senate Judiciary Committee's session Thursday, he posted a <a href="http://youtu.be/yCehCjuB7AM">video</a> of it on YouTube.

  10. Cross Cuba off the blacklist

    Washington has for three decades kept Cuba on a list of countries that sponsor terrorism, even though it has long since changed the behavior that earned it that distinction.

That's hardly a sensible standard.

  12. Senators hush-hush as they craft immigration bill

    WASHINGTON (AP) &mdash; The eight senators meet in private several times a week, alternating between Sen. John McCain's and Sen. Charles Schumer's offices. They sit in arm chairs arranged in a circle and sip water or soft drinks as they debate temporary workers and border security.
