Question of the Day
One week before the Supreme Court tackles gay marriage, the American Academy of Pediatrics says it's good for kids. Are these findings more political than scientific?
A prison source say the beard James Holmes sported in court last months represents his new-found faith. The source said Mr. Holmes has turned Muslim as a way of justifying his horrific crimes on July 20 which left 12 people dead and 58 people wounded, the Daily Mail reports.
“He has brainwashed himself into believing he was on his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels,” the source told the National Enquirer.
Mr. Holmes now prays five times a day, sticks to a strict Muslim diet and spends hours each day studying the Koran, the source told the Enquirer.
But most Muslim inmates are not happy with the convict’s new religion.
“None of them condone forms of terrorism or extremism,” the source added. “And they don’t want their religion to be connected to that awful shooting.”
Mr. Holmes is charged with 166 counts, mostly for murder and attempted murder, the Mail reports. He could be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted. A Colorado judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf earlier this month.

Another
day, another ten billion (eh, approximately) Twitter feuds for Donald
Trump. Today’s major battle comes by way of conservative commentator and
Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin; it’s notable only because Malkin and
Trump reside (in name, at least) in the same part of the political
spectrum.

Colt to bolt? Gun maker's boss says company feels unwelcome in Connecticut

Ann Coulter: If cigarettes can be regulated in name of public health, why not gay bathhouses, sodomy?
by Jeff Poor
On Saturday’s “Geraldo at Large” on the Fox News Channel, conservative columnist Ann Coulter suggested that people who support taxes on obesity and smoking are hypocritical to not also back taxes on certain homosexual behaviors.
Coulter, the author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” also told National Action Against Obesity campaign founder MeMe Roth that President Barack Obama’s health care law opened the door to unnecessary nanny-state regulations.
“If we have to worry about the smokers because of Obamacare, I think you have to do something about the gay bathhouses,” Coulter said, “because AIDS is expensive. And if I’m paying for it, how about discouraging that behavior?”
“By the way, I’m not the one that wants to go do anything about it,” Coulter added. “I’m just saying, if the argument is smoking well, we all have to pay — sodomy, we all have to pay. You’re the one making the argument. Go ahead have your bathhouses, have at it. … I’m saying you have crack down on sodomy. You have to demand it.”
President and CEO Dennis Veilleux said the pro-gun control climate that has taken hold in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre and other firearm attacks has left him feeling unwelcome in the state his company has called home for 175 years. Proposed laws being debated by the Legislature and pushed by Gov. Dannel Malloy include a new gun offender registry, an expanded assault weapons ban, ammunition restrictions and a ban on bulk purchases of handguns. Veilleux said those measures have put Colt and its nearly 700 employees in the crosshairs.
“At some point, if you can’t sell your products … then you can’t run your business."- Dennis Veilleux, CEO of Colt's Manufacturing
Veilleux, who wrote an op-ed
that appeared in The Hartford Courant this week in which he raised the
prospect of leaving the state, said the company doesn’t have any such
“definite plans.” But if Malloy follows through on his promise to ban
the purchase and sale of AR-15 rifles, the centerpiece of the company’s
business, he said leaving could become an option.Veilleux, 47, said Colt is “constantly approached” by other states to relocate. Several red state governors have made no secret of the fact they covet firearms makers, an industry that by some measures contributes $1.7 billion annually to Connecticut's economy.

The gun company boss acknowledged that even raising the possibility of a move could be troubling to workers, whose roots in Connecticut are in many cases as deep as Colt's.
“The employees are what the company is,” he said. “It’s not a building with a bunch of machines in it. The company is the employees. They’re proud of what they do, they represent their community – and I would say a lot more than some of the legislators do. They’re real people.”
Malloy spokesman Andrew Doba says the Democratic governor does not want Colt and its 670 employees to leave the state.
“The governor has been clear for some time that while he does not want manufacturers to leave the state, we need to move ahead with common sense gun violence prevention legislation that will improve public safety,” Doba wrote FoxNews.com in an email.
Veilleux made headlines last week when he closed down his factory and bused 400 workers to the state Capitol so they could personally urge lawmakers not to pass gun control legislation that they say could risk their livelihoods.
Connecticut's unemployment rate was 8.2 percent in December. In Hartford County, where Colt is based and provides what Veilleux considers high-paying jobs, that figure was 8.1 percent. Both jobless rates are well above the national average of 7.7 percent.
Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, defended the pieces of legislation currently under consideration.
"We feel that because of the enormity of the situation that happened on Dec. 14, that if we just put some Band-Aids on things, it's really not going to be enough," Pinciaro said.
Twenty first-graders and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. Gunman Adam Lanza also killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, before committing suicide as police responded to the school.

The shootings, as well as last year's movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., have triggered a renewed debate over gun laws, especially laws governing background checks and assault rifles. On Wednesday, a Colorado ammunition magazine manufacturer went a step further than Veilleux, saying that it will leave the state after lawmakers approved new gun laws there.
Magpul Chief Operating Officer Doug Smith said the moving process has begun following the signing of a bill by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper that bans the sale of gun magazines with more than 15 rounds. A new location has yet to be determined.
“Our moving efforts are under way,” Smith told the Denver Post. “Within the next 30 days we will manufacture our first magazine outside the state of Colorado.”
Magpul, which employs roughly 200 workers, is based in Erie, about 30 miles north of Denver. It’s the largest Colorado company that potentially would be affected by the bill, one of three state gun measures passed this year.

Fox News Reporter Will Be Forced To Testify About Anonymous Sources From Colorado Shooting Case
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York's journalist shield law cannot stop a Fox
News reporter from being forced to testify about her anonymous sources
for a story on last summer's deadly mass shooting in Colorado, a divided
state appeals court ruled on Tuesday. Reporter Jana Winter
cited two unnamed law enforcement sources when she said the accused
gunman, James Holmes, sent a notebook with details about his plan to a
psychiatrist before the attack that killed 12 and injured dozens more at
a Denver-area movie theater. Tuesday's 3-2 decision by
a New York state appeals court means Winter can be compelled to testify
in the Holmes case, but not necessarily forced to divulge the sources
for her story. Under Colorado's weaker shield law, however, Winter could
find it difficult to assert her legal privileges as a reporter. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a
friend-of-the-court brief in support of Winter that was signed by more
than 40 news organizations, including Reuters. "It's
hard to say New York is such a good law when it leaves a reporter no
remedy when another state wants his materials," said Gregg Leslie, the
committee's legal defense director. Winter's story
appeared five days after the July 2012 shooting, for which Holmes is on
trial for murder. Defense lawyers for Holmes believe authorities leaked
the information to Winter in violation of a gag order and want to force
her to reveal her sources so they can be sanctioned.
Winter, who is based in New York, is fighting a subpoena in both
Colorado and New York compelling her to testify, saying that shield laws
in those states protect her from having to name her sources. On Monday, she made a brief court appearance in Colorado, where
Arapahoe County District Court Judge William Sylvester extended the
subpoena until a hearing next month on her motion to quash it. Tuesday's ruling from the Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court
in New York said that whether Winter can assert privilege to protect
her sources was not relevant. It focused instead on whether she can be
compelled to testify in general. "Respondent is
entitled to assert whatever privileges she deems appropriate before the
Colorado District Court," Justice Darcel Clark wrote for the majority.
"Compelling respondent to testify is distinguishable from compelling her
to divulge the identity of her sources." The dissenting judges, however, said that was a distinction without a difference. "This approach ignores … the importance of our state's public policy in
favor of protecting the identity of investigative reporters'
confidential sources," Justice David Saxe wrote. New York's shield law recognizes an "absolute" privilege for reporters'
sources, Saxe said. In Colorado, a journalist can be required to reveal
sources if a judge finds the interest of the party seeking the
information outweighs First Amendment concerns, among other conditions. Saxe said New York's stronger protections should be extended to
Winter's case because it seems clear Judge Sylvester in Colorado will
reject her privilege claim under that state's law. Dori
Ann Hanswirth, a lawyer for Winter, said she was "thrilled" that the
court split 3-2, even though her side did not prevail. Under New York
law, parties may appeal any 3-2 decision to the state Court of Appeals. She reiterated that Winter will not reveal her sources under any circumstances, regardless of the outcome. Daniel Arshack, who argued the case on behalf of Holmes, said the New
York court had correctly decided the narrow issue of whether Winter can
be required to appear as a witness in another state. "The question of her right to protect confidential sources would be
correctly determined by the court in which she is compelled to appear -
in this case, Colorado," he said.
