WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama angrily denounced Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric on Tuesday, blasting the views of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as a threat to American security and a menacing echo of some of the most shameful moments in U.S. history.
Obama's rebuke was his most searing yet of the man seeking to take his seat in the Oval Office. While the president has frequently dismissed Trump as a buffoon or a huckster, this time he challenged the former reality television star as a "dangerous" threat to the nation's safety, religious freedom and diversity.
BOSTON – Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday named three Superior Court judges with extensive prosecutorial backgrounds as his picks for seats on the Supreme Judicial Court, seeking to elevate experienced jurists in a rare opportunity for a governor to shape the court so early in his first term.
Baker, in a news release Tuesday, said he will nominate Superior Court Judges David Lowy, Kimberly Budd and Frank Gaziano. The nominees will have to go through a confirmation process before the Governor's Council prior to taking their seats on the top court.
