Gov. Chris Christie Targeted in NYT Fishing Expedition that Fails to Find Scandal

So while serving as a U.S. attorney, now Gov. Chris Christie would sometimes get waivers for hotel stays when the government rate was not available and the NYT is scandalized. Every effort is made here to uncover wrongdoing where non exists. NJ's budget-cutting chief executive has become a national figure and a possible presidential contender. The outrage here is feigned and not real. Since when is the NYT concerned about taxpayers? Even as the New York Times concedes that Gov. Chris Christie...

Immigration judges are often overwhelmed by a lack of resources and a steady backlog of cases. The American Bar Association (ABA) has proposed creating a new court system that would be independent from the U.S. Justice Department.
