@placeholder skillfully worked to promote the court's public image as nonpartisan, not just in his narrow opinions, but, dramatically, in defending the justices against FDR's attacks and his court-packing plan.
(CNN) -- With his opinion for a narrow majority of the Supreme Court, upholding major provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has, for the first time since his confirmation as chief justice in 2005, breached the gap between the conservative and liberal wings of the court on a polarizing political issue. News: Legal scholars unsurprised by Roberts In doing so, he has jettisoned his reputation as a predictable conservative vote on controversial issues, such as campaign finance reform and affirmative action, that have been decided by a divided court. Roberts, in finding the critical provisions of the Affordable Care Act constitutional, has followed the example of his predecessor, Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes, who led the court during the tumultuous constitutional battles over President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal legislation. Hughes, like Roberts, sometimes found narrow grounds to uphold New Deal legislation and, as a result, cautiously steered the court away from the public perception that justices voted according to their political values, not constitutional principle. @highlight James Simon: Chief justice breached gap between court's conservative, liberal wings @highlight He says Roberts upended reputation as predictable conservative, like a predecessor @highlight He says FDR-era Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes also kept politics out of decisions @highlight Simon: Roberts left fate of law with political branches and voters, where it belongs

By the numbers, @placeholder's America is probably the safest America ever.
(CNN) -- Monday will be a day of mourning for the slain schoolchildren of Newtown, Connecticut. Then what? Some are urging President Barack Obama to lead a national campaign for tighter control of firearms. Bad idea. If the president -- any president -- inserts himself into the gun debate, he will inevitably polarize it. Supporters of the president will rally, but opponents of the president will become more obdurate. Because the president has many items on his agenda, and often needs the votes of Democrats from districts where pro-gun feeling runs strong, his opponents will probably outlast him. Presidential leadership on guns will most likely fail for another reason, one that comes from a darker and grimmer place in American culture. @highlight David Frum: What happens after the mourning is over? @highlight He says a presidential-led effort on gun safety will likely fail for political reasons @highlight It would be better if campaign were modeled on MADD, with victims' families leading, he says

@placeholder could choose to try to circumvent the deal and impose new sanctions on Iran, starting another battle between the President and the Congress.
Washington (CNN) -- President Obama's record on foreign policy has changed dramatically since taking office -- he now has one. What was arguably candidate Barack Obama's biggest weakness in 2008 may become President Obama's biggest strength with the announcement of an interim deal with Iran to slow that country's nuclear program. Since taking office in 2009, the President can boast successes including ending the war in Iraq, winding down the war in Afghanistan and killing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. But unlike the other events, the Iran deal brings a tremendous amount of risk that could yield high reward or total catastrophe: It could end in either a more peaceful world or a nuclear Iran. @highlight President Barack Obama has struggled politically recently @highlight On interim Iran deal, the public could be on his side @highlight Congress, however, has indicated that it is skeptical @highlight His foreign policy legacy could be defined by deal's outcome

Too much for China: The film was apparently pulled because of this scene featuring a naked @placeholder being hung upside down while being tortured
By Damien Gayle PUBLISHED: 02:56 EST, 11 April 2013 | UPDATED: 11:31 EST, 11 April 2013 Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti western Django Unchained was pulled from Chinese cinemas on its opening day because one scene contains full-frontal male nudity, it was claimed today. Cinemas throughout the country were ordered to suspend the film, which has been a blockbuster in the U.S. and the UK, even after it was given the all-clear by communist censors. Employees at two outlets in Beijing said an order by the importer, China Film Group, cited an unspecified 'technical' problem. However, there were some suggestions on Chinese social media sites that the postponement was related to a nude scene featuring the film's lead actor, Jamie Foxx, it was reported by The Guardian. @highlight Gore and violence had been toned down for the Chinese market @highlight Violence, sex and politically edgy content rarely passes Chinese censors

It might not be his traditional attire but as storms lashed the city of Tacloban in the Philippines, Pope Francis seemed thankful for a yellow rain poncho to keep him dry. The leader of the Catholic Church travelled to the area to meet with survivors of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan - but was forced to cut his own trip short because of another approaching storm.

Colbert has been mentioned as a possible successor to Letterman for years, and his name quickly became a consensus pick after @placeholder's retirement announcement April 3.
Stephen Colbert will succeed David Letterman as host of "The Late Show," CBS announced Thursday, one week after Letterman told his audience that he would retire sometime in 2015. CBS said Colbert had signed a five-year contract to helm the iconic late-night broadcast. Colbert, 49, has been the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" since 2005. Will Colbert remain in his Comedy Central character? No. Colbert said in a statement, "I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me. I'm looking forward to it."

According to the Interior Ministry, the yellow-and-blue Ukrainian flag is flying once again over the main municipal building in @placeholder.
(CNN) -- A Ukrainian military plane with at least 49 passengers was shot down overnight Friday, a source said, making it the latest and likely one of the bloodiest single events in that nation's current period of turmoil. The Ilyushin-76 military transport plane went down while approaching an airport in the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk, a source with the Ukrainian Anti-Terror Operation of the Ukrainian military forces told CNN. It was not immediately clear how many of those aboard died or survived. The incident came hours after Ukraine's Kiev-based government -- which is trying to regain control of the country's restive south and east -- deemed successful an operation targeting pro-Russian separatists in the city of Mariupol. @highlight NEW: Source: An Ilyushin-76 military transport plane is shot down near Luhansk @highlight More than 30 separatists have been detained in Mariupol, says Interior Ministry official @highlight City's residents are no longer blocking Ukrainian security forces, official says @highlight 3 Russian tanks cross border, go to Donetsk, he says; Russia denies this claim to BBC

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A terrorist wanting to smuggle radioactive material from Canada into the United States probably would find it easy to do, a new report from congressional investigators said. A clearing through the forest marks the U.S.-Canada border near Beecher Falls, Vermont. Government investigators were able to cross from Canada into the United States carrying a duffle bag with contents that looked like radioactive material and never encountered a law enforcement official, according to a report released Thursday by investigators from the Government Accountability Office.

But @placeholder claims that Pakistan continues to informally support the militants, who operate from havens in Pakistan's lawless tribal regions near the porous 1,500-mile border the two countries share.
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan lawmakers have directly accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of involvement in a string of deadly attacks in Afghanistan, blasting their neighbor as "the largest center for breeding and exporting terrorism." The recent attack by a suicide bomber on the Indian embassy in Kabul killed more than 40 people. A Pakistani official Tuesday bristled at the accusation, saying that Afghan lawmakers were making allegations without proof. "We are not an irresponsible nation and we don't blame our failures on others," said a senior official with Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
