Demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court Monday

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court Monday to be seen and heard on the question of whether President Barack Obama’s overhaul of the nation’s health care system is constitutional. Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum was among the crowd. Organizers from groups that favor the law staged a rally while a few stray opponents milled around in front of the Court. Meanwhile, Santorum pressed his own argument that he’s the best candidate - and rival Mitt Romney is the worst - to challenge Obama on the health care issue in the fall. Obama's health care reforms are the first major federal attempts to deal with health care and the uninsured in decades, but a majority of the public has never favored the law.

Oh my God, Google changes its privacy policies tomorrow

An alliance of European and US consumer advocacy groups made a last ditch appeal to Internet search and advertising giant Google today to delay changes to its privacy policies. Google says the changes will make it easier for consumers to understand how it collects personal information, and allow the company to create more helpful and compelling services. Critics, including most of the country's state attorneys general and a top regulator in Europe, argue that Google is trampling on people's privacy rights in its relentless drive to sell more ads. The new terms will allow Google to regroup data from several different services that were previously separate under a single comprehensive profile, giving it a more integrated view of its users, an advantage enjoyed by Apple and Facebook.
