The U.S. Supreme Court said today it will decide whether Kansas pastor Fred W. Phelps has a First Amendment right to travel the country and picket and protest at the funerals of fallen servicemen.

Phelps, who says God is allowing soldiers to die in Iraq and Afghanistan because the military permits gays and lesbians to serve, has appeared at several funerals with members of his congregation holding signs with messages such as, 'You're in hell' and 'God hates you.'

Note to investors: If someone claims to be a prophet and promises to win you money by predicting changes in the stock market, don't walk away. Run.

But unfortunately over 100 investors did not run away when Sean David Morton -- who dubbed himself 'America's Prophet' -- asked for their money. In all, investors gave Morton more than $6 million in the hopes that he would use his alleged psychic abilities to win big money in the market.

In honor of ABC hosting the Academy Awards this Sunday, we'll be talking about the 'best movie' this year on the Roundtable. But, we here at 'This Week' want to know...what's YOUR all-time favorite political movie?

Our guest host ABC's Matthew Dowd, who has made a career working in politics, says his favorite political movie is 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' and here's why: 'This is my favorite political movie and one of my top ten movies of all time. I love the idealism of Senate Jefferson Smith (played exquisitely well by James Stewart) as he comes to Washington as an appointed senator. He ends up discovering corruption and his heart gets broken by people he always trusted. In the end, he conquers and his ideals are renewed. Also, interestingly he actually uses the filibuster in a way to expose the corruption. Ironic at a time when the filibuster is merely used as a threat and not in the manner of Jefferson Smith. This feel good movie is a must see by anyone who loves politics and dreams of a less cynical, non polarized time.'

'Click It or Ticket' -- so goes one of America's most successful enforcement campaigns for seat belt laws. But the death earlier this year of a Connecticut teenager has many wondering why the slogan hasn't applied to children on school buses.

This week, the debate heated up.

What happened to the old John McCain?

It's a question often asked about the senator once known for working with Democrats and driving his own party crazy, who is now seen as a party-line conservative.

When U.S. and Afghan troops fought their way into the town of Marja, military officials said it would be a significant battle, because they would be clearing the Taliban out of their last stronghold in Helmand province.

What makes the fight for Marja so crucial is that it will be the first large-scale test of the counterinsurgency tactic of bringing a surge of governmental officials, Afghan police, and development projects with them, in a bid to win the Afghan people's support -- support deemed critical in a war where the enemy lives among the population.

In 1998, rapper P. Diddy introduced the nation to a new phrase. 'It's all about the Benjamins, baby,' he said, referring to $100 bills with the face of Benjamin Franklin.

Given the tough economic times, perhaps Diddy needs to update his song and aim for a smaller unit of currency.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard arguments in a case about a Fairfax, Va., retiree who also happens to be the former prime minister of Somalia, accused of tacitly approving gross acts of torture.

As Somalia's minister of defense in the 1980s, Gen. Mohammed Samantar, right, was part of a military dictatorship that 'had one of the worst human rights records in Africa,' according to the United Nations. 'They tied my hands to my legs, and they waterboarded me, and put [on] me some kind of electric shock,' said Bashe Yousuf, a former Somali political prisoner now living in the United States.

Mohamed Ali Samantar served in Somalia from 1971 to 1990 in various high government jobs under Somali President Muhammad Siad Barre. During that period, the United States recognized the government of Somalia but the country struggled through intense and violent civil conflict. In 1991, the Barre government was overthrown and Samantar eventually landed in exile in the United States.

Otis McDonald, 76, is afraid for his life in his crime-saturated Chicago neighborhood and he is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his city's strict ban on handguns in the home.

'In my home, this is the only time I worry,' McDonald said. 'There's more guns coming into this city than the police can take away from them. So if I've got a gun, and if others have guns in their homes to protect themselves, then that's one thing that police would have to worry about less.'

The title of Mitt Romney's new book, 'No Apology: The Case for American Greatness,' is a not-so-subtle jab at the visits President Obama made overseas when he first took office, derided by the right as the 'American Apology Tour.'

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has published a new book, 'No Apology: the Case for American Greatness,' which sets the stage for a second presidential run in 2012. He is shown here as he addresses a forum of the Foreign Policy Initiative at the W Hotel September 21, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

Romney's book as a whole, however, may best be remembered not for the contrasts it offers with the incumbent president but for the contrasts it presents with 'Going Rogue,' the best-selling memoir of Sarah Palin, a potential Romney rival for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

A powerhouse team of lawyers for former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling filed into the Supreme Court this afternoon to argue that Skilling's 19 count conviction on fraud, conspiracy and insider trading was constitutionally flawed and subject to jury bias.

Skilling's lead lawyer, Sri Srinivasan of O'Melveny & Meyers, told the justices that the trial court judge had subjected Skilling to 'deep-seated bias' in the community when he had refused Skilling's requests to have the trial moved from Houston.
