Today’s edition of quick hits:
* Another good day for the right at the Supreme Court: “Justices across the ideological spectrum appeared inclined to uphold a controversial part of Arizona’s aggressive 2010 immigration law, based on their questions on Wednesday at a Supreme Court argument.”
* Even with the recovery struggling, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke spent “much of a news conference Wednesday explaining why central bankers have decided — for now — to do nothing.”
* Citing concerns over consumer privacy, the White House today threatened to veto CISPA if it reaches President Obama’s desk.
* Student loan debt reaches $1 trillion in the United States. That’s not a typo.
* Rupert Murdoch remains very much in the hot seat as part of a larger British judicial inquiry in the News Corp scandal.
* Amanda Marcotte reports on Lila Rose’s ongoing anti-abortion activism, despite Rose’s previous failures. * Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is still recovering from a stroke in January, and his office released the first photo of the senator since his hospitalization. * Fox News found it outrageous for some strange reason, but President Obama slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon seemed pretty entertaining to me. Anything to add? Consider this an open thread.
