    NEW - this: Durbin told me and other reporters that border patrol officials verified to the conf committee (the one trying to work out a deal) that 90% of illegal drugs crossing the border come through legal ports. That’s counter to the president’s rhetoric.

    Conflict over the State of the Union Address is almost as old as the speech itself. Learn why Presidents didn't give the speech in person for over 100 years. (Thank Thomas Jefferson for that.)
