What's Going on in DC this Week


Detroit News blog tells us the following for the week of April 25th:


--Sun., April 25: Michigan's Gov. Jennifer Granholm is the featured guest on CNN's State of the Union program from 9 to 10 a.m. She'll be talking about the state of the Michigan economy and rumors about her being a potential Supreme Court nominee.


From the Supreme Court on Monday: word on whether the Supreme Court will reopen the 1922 case against Illinois seeking the separation of the Mississippi River and Great Lakes watersheds.


--Tue., April 27: Sen. Carl Levin's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations digs deeper into the role investment bank Goldman Sachs played in the real estate crisis and subsequent market crash. Expect a lot of tough questions and big national headlines coming out of the Tuesday morning hearing.


--Thu., April 29: The House's Intelligence Committee, whose ranking member Rep. Pete Hoekstra is a Republican gubernatorial candidate, holds a closed door hearing on Flight 253 forensics. Though no press or public is allowed in the hearing, any big revelations could leak ... stay tuned.


Also next week: There could be more rumors on who the President will nominate to the Supreme Court. Two Michigan-connected names are popping up on the radar: Granholm and former Detroit Public Schools teacher Ann Claire Williams, so there could be some local interest.
