(CNSNews.com) – After Iran reported carrying out new ballistic missile tests Tuesday – and underlined that Israel is within range – State Department spokesman John Kirby said if the reports were confirmed, the U.S. would consider using "unilateral and multilateral tools" in response to Iran's behavior.
"We have and we will use unilateral and multilateral tools to address this. If these latest reports are true, we'll take them up appropriately," he told reporters. "We're not going to shy away from confronting Iran over this particular development of this particular technology."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite calls to select a Supreme Court nominee from outside the judicial monastery, President Barack Obama doesn't appear to be ready to leave the faith.
In his search for a replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, President Barack Obama is zeroing in on a small group of appellate court judges with largely traditional credentials and a history of bipartisan backing. The choices suggest the White House plans to challenge the Republican Senate to block a nominee whose pedigree might have paved the way for a relatively easy confirmation — if the fight weren't playing out in an election year.
