 NY Times, Washington — Ralph D. Fertig, a 79-year-old civil rights lawyer, says
he would like to help a militant Kurdish group in Turkey find peaceful
ways to achieve its goals. But he fears prosecution under a law banning
even benign assistance to groups said to engage in terrorism.
The Supreme Court
will soon hear Mr. Fertig’s challenge to the law, in a case that pits
First Amendment freedoms against the government’s efforts to combat
terrorism. The case represents the court’s first encounter with the
free speech and association rights of American citizens in the context
of terrorism since the Sept. 11 attacks — and its first chance to test
the constitutionality of a provision of the USA Patriot Act.

The rallies may also coincide with the overdue announcement by Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, of his proposals toward the same end.

President Obama's Statement On Senator Edward Kennedy's Death
Michelle and I were heartbroken to learn this morning of the death of our dear friend, Senator Ted Kennedy.
For
nearly five decades, virtually every major piece of legislation to
advance the civil rights, health and economic well-being of the American people
bore his name and resulted from his efforts.
His ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in
millions of lives -- in seniors who know new dignity; in families that
know new opportunity; in children who know education's promise; and in
all who can pursue their dream in an America that is more equal and
more just, including me.
