Obama pressured Congress on immigration reform this week, saying he wants a bill passed “as soon as possible.” During a naturalization ceremony Monday at the White House he said, “We’ve just got ... to work up the political courage to do what’s required to be done.” Sixty-three percent of Americans support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S., according to a Public Religion Research Institute poll. 3 AMANDA KNOX GETS SHOCKING NEWS 4 HUFFINGTON 03.31.13 Amanda Knox, who was accused of killing her roommate in 2007 while she was an exchange student in Italy, is once again dominating headlines after Italy’s highest court ruled that her case would be tried again. Knox’s conviction was overturned in 2011, and she is now a student at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Ziegler defended himself in a blog post last week: “I made it very clear to everyone here, including Sandusky, that I am not supportive of him and some of my questions of him were actually much tougher than any he has ever faced.”
