Alito

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito didn't like hearing President Barack Obama publicly criticize the high court's ruling removing corporate campaign spending limits - and he didn't try to hide it.

WASHINGTON - Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday assailed last week's Supreme Court's decision removing limits on corporate campaign spending, calling it "dead wrong." And he defended President Barack Obama's criticism of the decision in his State of the Union address Wednesday night with robe-clad Supreme Court justices seated in on the floor of the House before him.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama voiced determination Thursday to change the tone of Washington politics and urged Republicans to get "off the sidelines" and help fix health care and other problems.
