"A few weeks ago, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the lawsuit, backed by the National Education Association (NEA), against the federal government for not "fully funding" the No Child Left Behind law.The NEA may or may not win Pontiac School District v.

Unpardonable
by Debra Saunders

"If President Bush had been looking for a textbook case of a federal offender who should never win a presidential pardon, Isaac R. Toussie would fit the bill. Toussie is the sort of amoral swell who contributed to the 2008 mortgage meltdown. In 2001, he pleaded guilty to making false statements to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 2002 he pleaded guilty to mail fraud in a scam to get Suffolk County, N.Y., to overpay for land.
