Mexican Drug Kingpin Finally Appears in U.S. Court
One of Mexico's earliest ______________________finally appeared in U.S. court Monday, nearly eight years after he was ________________with overseeing a vast operation to funnel cocaine and marijuana to the United States from Mexico and South America.
Benjamin Arellano Felix stood in an orange _________________throughout the nine-minute_______________, quietly answering "yes" when __________________Larry Burns asked if he understood what was happening.
The judge entered ______________________on behalf of Arellano Felix to drug and racketeering ____________________and ordered him held_________________.
The hearing was staged under tight security at the downtown San Diego courthouse. Arellano Felix's daughter and relatives watched from second-row seats.
Arellano Felix, 57, was extradited from Mexico on Friday, ending a long quest by U.S. authorities.
The man who once headed the Tijuana, Mexico-based Arellano Felix cartel was incarcerated in Mexico since his 2002 arrest and was ________________ in 2007 to 22 years in prison on drug trafficking and organized crime charges.
During Monday's hearing, San Diego lawyer Jan Ronas told the judge that Arellano Felix wanted him as his defense attorney. Burns scheduled a May 23 hearing to consider whether to replace a court-appointed attorney assigned to the case about a year ago.
"He's expressed a decision to fight these charges in the United States," Ronas told reporters outside court.
Ronas said his "cynical side" led him to believe that Mexico extradited Arellano Felix to get more aid from the U.S. under the 2008 Merida Initiative to combat drug trafficking and _____________________. He noted that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinosa met Friday in Washington to review the Merida effort.
"It could also be a coincidence," Ronas said. "I'm also a great believer in coincidences."
The extradition came less than a month after Mexican President Felipe Calderon named Marisela Morales as the nation's new attorney general. Morales previously headed the organized crime special investigations unit.
"Given the timing of Attorney General Morales' recent appointment to the post, I think it is reasonable to conclude that she was integral in achieving this extradition now," said Karen Hewitt, who was U.S. Attorney for San Diego from 2007 to 2010.

The U.S. indictment says Arellano Felix was the principal organizer and top leader of the Arellano Felix cartel going back to 1986, and that the cartel tortured and killed rivals in the United States and Mexico as it smuggled tons of Mexican marijuana and Colombian cocaine.

Foreign Nationals Push for Right to Make Contributions
To U.S. Political Campaigns
________________for a Sidley Austin associate and a doctor on Thursday urged a _______________in Washington, D.C., to find unconstitutional the inability of foreign nationals who live and work in the United States from making monetary contributions to political candidates.
The associate, Benjamin Bluman, and the doctor, Asenath Steiman, _____________the Federal Elections Commission in October in Washington_________________, saying the restrictions imposed on them violate First Amendment speech rights.
Bluman, who practices in Sidley's __________________group in Manhattan, is a native of Canada. Bluman said in the suit he wants _________________to Diane Savino, a Democratic state senator in New York who is a proponent of same-sex marriage. Bluman also intends to print and distribute flyers to support President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
Arguing for the ________________Thursday in front of a three-judge panel, Jones Day associate Warren Postman called the FEC position "extreme" and said Bluman and Steiman should not be excluded from the political speech as lawful, if not permanent, residents of the United States.
"If there is a concern about speech, the solution is more speech," Postman told U.S. District Judges Ricardo Urbina and Rosemary Collyer, who heard the case with Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The panel heard argument for more than an hour in the _____________________of the federal district courthouse in downtown Washington.

Collyer said she was troubled by what she described as Postman's "black and white" view of the First Amendment. Collyer said the First Amendment is not "all or nothing."
The judge noted the plaintiffs are permitted _______________orally for the candidate and the cause of their choice. Bluman and Steiman, Collyer said, can volunteer in a campaign headquarters and speak on public radio for or against a candidate. "They can't contribute money," she said. "But they can contribute in other ways."
Collyer asked Postman, "Why should the First Amendment think it's critical to hear from the dollars of your clients? You want them to do whatever a voter or permanent resident can do." The judges ____________________whether the First Amendment "goes that far."
Postman said political speech through campaign contributions is no less protected than speech on a soapbox. He urged the panel to allow lawful residents of the United States to "participate in the marketplace of ideas."
