To all the families, first responders, to the community of Newtown, clergy, guests -- Scripture tells us: “…do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away…inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We gather here in memory of twenty beautiful children and six remarkable adults. They lost their lives in a school that could have been any school; in a quiet town full of good and decent people that could be any town in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in Newtown, I come to offer the love and prayers of a nation. I am very mindful that mere words cannot match the depths of your sorrow, nor can they heal your wounded hearts. I can only hope it helps for you to know that you’re not alone in your grief; that our world too has been torn apart; that all across this land of ours, we have wept with you, we’ve pulled our children tight. And you must know that whatever measure of comfort we can provide, we will provide; whatever portion of sadness that we can share with you to ease this heavy load, we will gladly bear it. Newtown -- you are not alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As these difficult days have unfolded, you’ve also inspired us with stories of strength and resolve and sacrifice. We know that when danger arrived in the halls of Sandy Hook Elementary, the school’s staff did not flinch, they did not hesitate. Dawn Hochsprung and Mary Sherlach, Vicki Soto, Lauren Rousseau, Rachel Davino and Anne Marie Murphy -- they responded as we all hope we might respond in such terrifying circumstances -- with courage and with love, giving their lives to protect the children in their care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know that there were other teachers who barricaded themselves inside classrooms, and kept steady through it all, and reassured their students by saying “wait for the good guys, they’re coming”; “show me your smile.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we know that good guys came. The first responders who raced to the scene, helping to guide those in harm’s way to safety, and comfort those in need, holding at bay their own shock and trauma because they had a job to do, and others needed them more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there were the scenes of the schoolchildren, helping one another, holding each other, dutifully following instructions in the way that young children sometimes do; one child even trying to encourage a grown-up by saying, “I know karate. So it’s okay. I’ll lead the way out.” (Laughter.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a community, you’ve inspired us, Newtown. In the face of indescribable violence, in the face of unconscionable evil, you’ve looked out for each other, and you’ve cared for one another, and you’ve loved one another. This is how Newtown will be remembered. And with time, and God’s grace, that love will see you through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we, as a nation, we are left with some hard questions. Someone once described the joy and anxiety of parenthood as the equivalent of having your heart outside of your body all the time, walking around. With their very first cry, this most precious, vital part of ourselves -- our child -- is suddenly exposed to the world, to possible mishap or malice. And every parent knows there is nothing we will not do to shield our children from harm. And yet, we also know that with that child’s very first step, and each step after that, they are separating from us; that we won’t -- that we can’t always be there for them. They’ll suffer sickness and setbacks and broken hearts and disappointments. And we learn that our most important job is to give them what they need to become self-reliant and capable and resilient, ready to face the world without fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we know we can’t do this by ourselves. It comes as a shock at a certain point where you realize, no matter how much you love these kids, you can’t do it by yourself. That this job of keeping our children safe, and teaching them well, is something we can only do together, with the help of friends and neighbors, the help of a community, and the help of a nation. And in that way, we come to realize that we bear a responsibility for every child because we’re counting on everybody else to help look after ours; that we’re all parents; that they’re all our children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is our first task -- caring for our children. It’s our first job. If we don’t get that right, we don’t get anything right. That’s how, as a society, we will be judged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And by that measure, can we truly say, as a nation, that we are meeting our obligations? Can we honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep our children -- all of them -- safe from harm? Can we claim, as a nation, that we’re all together there, letting them know that they are loved, and teaching them to love in return? Can we say that we’re truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve been reflecting on this the last few days, and if we’re honest with ourselves, the answer is no. We’re not doing enough. And we will have to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since I’ve been President, this is the fourth time we have come together to comfort a grieving community torn apart by a mass shooting. The fourth time we’ve hugged survivors. The fourth time we’ve consoled the families of victims. And in between, there have been an endless series of deadly shootings across the country, almost daily reports of victims, many of them children, in small towns and big cities all across America -- victims whose -- much of the time, their only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can’t tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law -- no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this. If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that -- then surely we have an obligation to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens -- from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators -- in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. Because what choice do we have? We can’t accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we’re powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the world’s religions -- so many of them represented here today -- start with a simple question: Why are we here? What gives our life meaning? What gives our acts purpose? We know our time on this Earth is fleeting. We know that we will each have our share of pleasure and pain; that even after we chase after some earthly goal, whether it’s wealth or power or fame, or just simple comfort, we will, in some fashion, fall short of what we had hoped. We know that no matter how good our intentions, we will all stumble sometimes, in some way. We will make mistakes, we will experience hardships. And even when we’re trying to do the right thing, we know that much of our time will be spent groping through the darkness, so often unable to discern God’s heavenly plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have -- for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child’s embrace -- that is true. The memories we have of them, the joy that they bring, the wonder we see through their eyes, that fierce and boundless love we feel for them, a love that takes us out of ourselves, and binds us to something larger -- we know that’s what matters. We know we’re always doing right when we’re taking care of them, when we’re teaching them well, when we’re showing acts of kindness. We don’t go wrong when we do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we can be sure of. And that’s what you, the people of Newtown, have reminded us. That’s how you’ve inspired us. You remind us what matters. And that’s what should drive us forward in everything we do, for as long as God sees fit to keep us on this Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let the little children come to me,” Jesus said, “and do not hinder them -- for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charlotte. Daniel. Olivia. Josephine. Ana. Dylan. Madeleine. Catherine. Chase. Jesse. James. Grace. Emilie. Jack. Noah. Caroline. Jessica. Benjamin. Avielle. Allison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>God has called them all home. For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on, and make our country worthy of their memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>May God bless and keep those we’ve lost in His heavenly place. May He grace those we still have with His holy comfort. And may He bless and watch over this community, and the United States of America.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And in between, there have been an endless series of deadly shootings across the country, almost daily reports of victims, many of them children, in small towns and big cities all across America -- victims whose -- much of the time, their only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can’t tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law -- no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this. If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that -- then surely we have an obligation to try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens -- from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators -- in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. Because what choice do we have? We can’t accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we’re powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the world’s religions -- so many of them represented here today -- start with a simple question: Why are we here? What gives our life meaning? What gives our acts purpose? We know our time on this Earth is fleeting. We know that we will each have our share of pleasure and pain; that even after we chase after some earthly goal, whether it’s wealth or power or fame, or just simple comfort, we will, in some fashion, fall short of what we had hoped. We know that no matter how good our intentions, we will all stumble sometimes, in some way. We will make mistakes, we will experience hardships. And even when we’re trying to do the right thing, we know that much of our time will be spent groping through the darkness, so often unable to discern God’s heavenly plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have -- for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child’s embrace -- that is true. The memories we have of them, the joy that they bring, the wonder we see through their eyes, that fierce and boundless love we feel for them, a love that takes us out of ourselves, and binds us to something larger -- we know that’s what matters. We know we’re always doing right when we’re taking care of them, when we’re teaching them well, when we’re showing acts of kindness. We don’t go wrong when we do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we can be sure of. And that’s what you, the people of Newtown, have reminded us. That’s how you’ve inspired us. You remind us what matters. And that’s what should drive us forward in everything we do, for as long as God sees fit to keep us on this Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let the little children come to me,” Jesus said, “and do not hinder them -- for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charlotte. Daniel. Olivia. Josephine. Ana. Dylan. Madeleine. Catherine. Chase. Jesse. James. Grace. Emilie. Jack. Noah. Caroline. Jessica. Benjamin. Avielle. Allison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>God has called them all home. For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on, and make our country worthy of their memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>May God bless and keep those we’ve lost in His heavenly place. May He grace those we still have with His holy comfort. And may He bless and watch over this community, and the United States of America.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In an interview on \"Fox News Sunday,\" Gohmert defended the sale of assault weapons and said that the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who authorities say died trying to overtake the shooter, should herself have been armed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish to God she had had an M-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands. But she takes him (the shooter) out, takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids,\" Gohmert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gohmert also argued that violence is lower in cities with lax gun laws, and higher in cities with stricter laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The facts are that every time guns have been allowed —conceal-carry (gun laws) have been allowed — the crime rate has gone down,\" Gohmert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun control advocates say that isn't true. A study by the California-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence determined that seven of the 10 states with the strongest gun laws — including Connecticut, Massachusetts and California — are also among the 10 states with the lowest gun death rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you look at the states with the strongest gun laws in the country, they have some of the lowest gun death rates, and some of the states with the weakest gun laws have some of the highest gun death rates,\" said Brian Malte of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murphy spoke on ABC's \"This Week.\" Lieberman, Durbin and Gohmert spoke on \"Fox News Sunday.\" Feinstein spoke on NBC's \"Meet the Press.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court took the first step toward negotiating its way through complicated questions of same-sex marriage on Friday by agreeing to review cases concerning both Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage, and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the federal law that prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Scott Shafer asked U.C. Davis constitutional law expert Vikram Amar to explain the ramifications of the court’s selections. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Before the court decided to hear this case, there were a lot of questions about how broad a question the Supreme Court would take up, whether this could be a ruling applying nationwide or just to California. Which way did they decide to go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: We don’t know. Remember, the Ninth Circuit Court invalidated Prop. 8. on grounds that were very specific to Prop. 8 and wouldn’t necessarily invalidate same-sex marriage bans in other states. That was an attempt by the Ninth Circuit to narrow the case so as to keep it away from the Supreme Court. That didn’t work. The Supreme Court is going to take the case. But whether they decide it on the same narrow grounds that the Ninth Circuit Court did, or they use it to more broadly accept or reject gay marriage is open to question, and we won’t know until the Supreme Court decides next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: The legal team for Prop. 8 held a phone conference call shortly after the Supreme Court announced its decision, and Ted Olson was asked how they were going to approach the briefs in this case. He said they would argue on the broad merits of the case, the same way they did before the Ninth Circuit. He said, “The fundamental right to marry… is fundamental to all citizens… It is one of the most fundamental rights, if not \u003cem>the\u003c/em> most fundamental right that we have in this country.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: The Supreme Court could rule narrowly if they agreed with the Ninth Circuit that there are fundamental problems with Prop. 8, for example the fact that Prop. 8 repeals same-sex marriage, rather than never recognizes it in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my guess is that the justices aren’t going to be that moved by the Ninth Circuit’s reasoning. And if they rule on the merits, they’d probably go a little bit more broadly than the Ninth Circuit did in one direction or the other. But remember, the Supreme Court today asked the parties to brief it about another question, which has been looming throughout, and that is whether the sponsors to Prop. 8 are proper parties to defend the measure in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: I believe they also asked that question in the DOMA case they took up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: They did, because the Obama Administration has declined to defend DOMA, and in fact agrees with the lower courts that it’s unconstitutional, which led the House of Representatives to hire its own outside lawyers headed by Paul Clement. The court today wondered aloud, and asked the parties to brief it on whether Paul Clement and his group is a proper party to defend DOMA. If the justices were to say there is no one to defend Congress’s work product when the president doesn’t, that really opens up the door to broad presidential powers to essentially ignore and thus undermine what Congress does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: How does the cultural landscape affect the justices on these big questions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: Well, I think it’s not just the important fact that a few weeks ago same-sex marriage proponents won at the ballot box for the first time in state initiatives. I think it’s more the sense that those victories are going to become more common in the future. It’s not just the electoral votes, it’s the polling data and the attitudinal data that we have behind those results that suggests there’s going to be major change going forward. Now that might incline some justices to want to get out ahead of the issue and to invalidate bans on same-sex marriage if ultimately that’s the way the populace is going. Other justices might say, “Look, if that’s the way the states are going there’s no reason for the courts to stick their noses in, just let it happen more slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Davis constitutional law expert Vikram Amar to explain the ramifications of the court’s selections. Edited transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Before the court decided to hear this case, there were a lot of questions about how broad a question the Supreme Court would take up, whether this could be a ruling applying nationwide or just to California. Which way did they decide to go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: We don’t know. Remember, the Ninth Circuit Court invalidated Prop. 8. on grounds that were very specific to Prop. 8 and wouldn’t necessarily invalidate same-sex marriage bans in other states. That was an attempt by the Ninth Circuit to narrow the case so as to keep it away from the Supreme Court. That didn’t work. The Supreme Court is going to take the case. But whether they decide it on the same narrow grounds that the Ninth Circuit Court did, or they use it to more broadly accept or reject gay marriage is open to question, and we won’t know until the Supreme Court decides next spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: The legal team for Prop. 8 held a phone conference call shortly after the Supreme Court announced its decision, and Ted Olson was asked how they were going to approach the briefs in this case. He said they would argue on the broad merits of the case, the same way they did before the Ninth Circuit. He said, “The fundamental right to marry… is fundamental to all citizens… It is one of the most fundamental rights, if not \u003cem>the\u003c/em> most fundamental right that we have in this country.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: The Supreme Court could rule narrowly if they agreed with the Ninth Circuit that there are fundamental problems with Prop. 8, for example the fact that Prop. 8 repeals same-sex marriage, rather than never recognizes it in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my guess is that the justices aren’t going to be that moved by the Ninth Circuit’s reasoning. And if they rule on the merits, they’d probably go a little bit more broadly than the Ninth Circuit did in one direction or the other. But remember, the Supreme Court today asked the parties to brief it about another question, which has been looming throughout, and that is whether the sponsors to Prop. 8 are proper parties to defend the measure in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: I believe they also asked that question in the DOMA case they took up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: They did, because the Obama Administration has declined to defend DOMA, and in fact agrees with the lower courts that it’s unconstitutional, which led the House of Representatives to hire its own outside lawyers headed by Paul Clement. The court today wondered aloud, and asked the parties to brief it on whether Paul Clement and his group is a proper party to defend DOMA. If the justices were to say there is no one to defend Congress’s work product when the president doesn’t, that really opens up the door to broad presidential powers to essentially ignore and thus undermine what Congress does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: How does the cultural landscape affect the justices on these big questions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: Well, I think it’s not just the important fact that a few weeks ago same-sex marriage proponents won at the ballot box for the first time in state initiatives. I think it’s more the sense that those victories are going to become more common in the future. It’s not just the electoral votes, it’s the polling data and the attitudinal data that we have behind those results that suggests there’s going to be major change going forward. Now that might incline some justices to want to get out ahead of the issue and to invalidate bans on same-sex marriage if ultimately that’s the way the populace is going. Other justices might say, “Look, if that’s the way the states are going there’s no reason for the courts to stick their noses in, just let it happen more slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
