WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy says a willingness to change course on the bench is not an indication of weakness, but rather a sign of "fidelity to your judicial oath."

The move comes after an investigation by the county's Office of Human Rights determined that a former sheriff's lieutenant was "subjected to a severe and pervasive workplace environment" for not supporting Fitzgerald's political campaign.

[...] out of the limelight, and sometimes in secret, a small corps of former U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials, often working with academic specialists, meet regularly with high-ranking North Koreans. The two countries did quietly hold a series of discussions, apparently late last year, but those came to nothing.
