EXPERT ALERTS:
President Obama's Supreme Court Nomination
Scott Waller
Professor of Political Science
Biola University
Waller can speak to President Obama's selection of Merrick B. Garland to fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court, specifically Republican reaction: "I think the GOP leadership is now committed to this strategy given their initial reaction to Scalia's death. Anything less would be perceived as a cave and the Republican electorate does not seem to be in any mood for caving. In this sense the 'no' strategy that the GOP is attempting to make good on will be used in the fall in an attempt to keep their majority in the Senate, as well as electing someone with an 'R' behind their name for the White House. Of course, this strategy runs the risk of backfiring and enlivening the Democratic base in a way that has the opposite effect in the fall (i.e., turning over the majority in the Senate and electing Hillary Clinton). If this happens, then Clinton is very likely to nominate someone much more virulently liberal/progressive than Garland."
Waller is chair of Biola University's political science department and holds a Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University. His research interests involve the intersection of religion and politics, jurisprudence surrounding the First Amendment religion clauses, and the evolving role of the judiciary within the American political order. He is located in Los Angeles.

Lavish Exec Spending Roils Veterans Charity

Most people probably have seen the Wounded Warrior Project's powerful TV commercials featuring severely wounded veterans and the struggles their families face when they return home. The top two executives of the large veterans charity were fired recently amid a spending scandal that reportedly included fancy restaurants and first-class travel to luxury resorts for "team-building" conferences. Charity watchdogs say Wounded Warrior was spending about 40 percent of its funds on overhead.
Says Ahmad: "As obvious as it seems, expense accounts are among the most common ways executives can get into trouble. Being a corporate or nonprofit leader comes with reasonable perks that are necessary and helpful to doing your job. But executives need to realize these funds are not for their personal use and enjoyment. This money is for the advancement of the company or institution. It is not a license to take money from the organization for personal enrichment. All it takes is a modicum of common sense."
