On Saturday night, federal Judge Ann Donnelly issued a stay on the deportations of valid visa holders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said of the DOJ action: “This is a remarkable but welcome development and sends a powerful message that there’s something very wrong with a Muslim ban.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the news was breaking of the directive from Yates, Trump senior policy adviser Stephen Miller told MSNBC’s Greta Van Susteren that Yates’ decision was “a further demonstration of how politicized our legal system has become.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And inside the White House, Trump tweeted about Democratic obstruction of his nominees, “Now have an Obama AG.” Less than two hours later, Yates was out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her successor, Dana Boente, pledged to “defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s very unusual for the Justice Department to refuse to defend a law or an executive order, though it isn’t unprecedented. During the Obama administration, for example, top officials decided not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court eventually ruled in favor of same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump could remove Yates, but there would be no one at the Justice Department who could sign Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants, which would leave a big gap in national security.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It could be that sanctuary counties have immigrant populations who are more integrated into their social fabric and economies, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research also revealed that smaller, more rural counties experienced the most significant impact from sanctuary policies on their crime rates (lower) and economies (stronger). Taken together, Wong said, the net benefits to sanctuary cities would offset the impact of Trump's shame offensive on them. \"The ultimate effect is going to be minimal,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>The first week of the Trump administration has been marked by a flurry of executive actions — and lots of bombast and argument with the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump's executive actions — in the form of orders and memorandums, \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/01/24/executive-order-vs-presidential-memorandum-whats-difference/96979014/\">which differ slightly\u003c/a> — aim to show that President Trump will deliver on the promises made by Candidate Trump. And the actions hit on many of the most contentious issues in American politics: Trump moved to repeal the Affordable Care Act, remove roadblocks from the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, impose a hiring freeze on federal employees, withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and withhold federal funds from so-called\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/19/502684089/trump-vows-to-end-sanctuary-cities-but-no-one-can-agree-what-that-label-means\"> sanctuary cities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Trump and his surrogates claimed to have drawn the largest-ever inauguration crowd (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/21/510994742/trump-administration-goes-to-war-with-the-media-over-inauguration-crowd-size\">he didn't\u003c/a>), said that 3 million to 5 million votes were illegally cast (no evidence of that), softened his stance toward the CIA and said that he would announce his pick for the Supreme Court next week. The Senate approved four of his nominees for high-level positions, and 10 others have finished their confirmation hearings and await votes. And it comes as congressional Republicans huddle to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511800216/gop-200-day-agenda-calls-for-spending-tax-cuts-but-what-about-the-deficit\">figure out a legislative way forward \u003c/a>with the new president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here, we take a look at the biggest issues and where they stand, one week into the Trump presidency:\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Affordable Care Act\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Within hours of being inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/2/executive-order-minimizing-economic-burden-patient-protection-and\">signed an executive order\u003c/a> that seeks to \"ease the burdens\" of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. The order allows the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other agency with authority under the law, to not enforce regulations that impose a financial burden on a state, company or individual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"pgKMryTgISmJDjMtS22xMvS2thYG1Lg7\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong> It's not totally clear yet. The order is so broad that it's possible it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/01/21/510901402/trumps-executive-order-could-dismantle-parts-of-aca-before-replacement-is-ready\">could dismantle key parts of the ACA before a replacement plan is ready\u003c/a>, owing to a potential lack of enforcement of some of the tax provisions like the mandate, the requirement that if you don't have health insurance, you have to buy it. That's despite previous statements from Republican lawmakers that a replacement plan would immediately follow repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action adds a lot of confusion to an already complicated system. Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Rep. Tom Price, hasn't yet had his confirmation hearing or vote. He will be responsible for administering the program and exchanges run by the federal government for states that opted not to create their own systems. Price is an opponent of the ACA, and congressional Republicans are vowing to repeal the law. But they haven't yet settled on an alternative. Trump has also confused matters with a pledge to offer \"insurance for everybody,\" though congressional Republicans say they assume he means \"access\" for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Immigration and a border wall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Trump signed two executive orders related to \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/presidential-executive-order-enhancing-public-safety-interior-united\">immigration\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/executive-order-border-security-and-immigration-enforcement-improvementshttps://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/executive-order-border-security-and-immigration-enforcement-improvements\">border security\u003c/a>, shortly after the new head of the Department of Homeland Security, Marine Gen. John Kelly, was sworn in. \"Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2TsJ7oOUBNeZ3eLXE1acR8rESwevk256\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move communicated that Trump planned to follow through with his oft-spoken-of plan to build a border wall, estimated to cost $15 billion or more. The fallout was immediate: Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto canceled a planned visit to Trump in Washington next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Congress need to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/25/511619026/donald-trumps-moving-forward-with-his-wall-is-it-really-going-to-happen\">figure out how to pay for it, for starters\u003c/a>. Though Trump has repeatedly said he would make Mexico pay for the wall, on Wednesday he told ABC News that the U.S. will be \"reimbursed at a later date\" by Mexico for the costs of building the wall. Congressional Republicans vowed to come up with the funding during a policy retreat Thursday in Philadelphia, though they did not specify how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that one way the administration is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511861462/trumps-suggested-import-tax-would-mean-americans-pay-for-that-wall\">considering paying for the wall is via a 20 percent tax on imports \u003c/a>from Mexico — a cost that would mean that U.S. consumers would, in fact, pay for the wall. Ironically, that was part of a congressional plan that Trump, less than two weeks ago, derided as \"too complicated.\" Hours later, the White House walked it back, saying there are many funding options being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Voter fraud\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump told congressional leaders in a bipartisan, bicameral meeting at the White House that he would have won the popular vote, were it not for 3 million to 5 million votes cast against him by \"illegals.\" When asked about it at the Tuesday press briefing, Spicer affirmed that \"the president does believe that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xWChhHh17HtsA6vCkHkj3le4BQC0D1Z7\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was revealed by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/trump-bernhard-langer-voting-fraud.html?_r=0\">New York Times\u003c/a> that Trump is partially basing his belief on a story he heard thirdhand from a professional golfer, born in Germany, who wasn't allowed to vote in Florida and claimed there were people in line behind him who looked like they shouldn't be allowed to vote. After NPR's Mara Liasson pressed Spicer at a White House briefing on why the president wouldn't call for an investigation into something that could be the biggest scandal in U.S. history, Trump tweeted, in fact, that he would. On Thursday, Spicer told reporters Trump will issue an executive action calling for a probe of voter fraud in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's insistence that massive voter fraud occurred would seem to set up a showdown between the White House and ... the evidence. So far, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/24/511420960/trump-still-insists-millions-voted-illegally-theres-no-evidence-of-that\">no evidence of significant voter fraud has come to light\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, it's unclear. The White House insists it will issue an executive action to launch an investigation, but it's uncertain what form a probe would take. Would it be run by the White House? Would the Justice Department take it up (even though the Justice Department is supposed to operate independently of the White House)? The U.S. has already conducted a voter fraud investigation, by the way, during the Bush administration — and found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, turning up only \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/washington/12fraud.html\">120 people charged and 86 convicted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>The environment and infrastructure\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Trump signed \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/24/511402501/trump-to-give-green-light-to-keystone-dakota-access-pipelines\">five executive actions \u003c/a>relating to the Keystone XL pipeline, the Dakota Access Pipeline, using American materials when building pipelines, reducing regulations for domestic manufacturing, and \"expediting environmental reviews and approval for high-priority infrastructure projects.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1iJ9trT1sQFLGlk9BQ2F99r2YDXq9d7f\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pipelines had been stopped during the Obama administration. Trump's actions mean that the owner of the Keystone XL pipeline could apply again for a construction permit, and it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/26/511892321/transcanada-submits-new-application-to-build-keystone-xl-pipeline\">did exactly that Thursday night\u003c/a>. Trump also encouraged the Army Corps of Engineers to\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/assets/news/2017/01/DakotaAccessConstruction.pdf\"> expedite the review and approval process\u003c/a> for the section of the Dakota Access Pipeline that hasn't been built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dakota Access issue will probably head back to federal court: The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/24/511411653/trumps-move-on-keystone-xl-dakota-access-outrages-activists\">will take legal action \u003c/a>to fight Trump's decision, saying the pipeline \"risks contaminating tribal and American water supplies while disregarding treaty rights.\" Demonstrators remain camped near the site where the Dakota Access Pipeline is slated to cross under the Missouri River.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Hiring freeze for federal workers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump signed a presidential memorandum imposing a hiring freeze on federal workers, with exceptions for military positions and national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ramifications are immediate: The freeze is now in effect and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/pentagon-sill-scrambling-to-understand-trump-hiring-freeze/2017/01/24/390a8c2a-e24f-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html\">is scheduled to last 90 days\u003c/a>. It's expected that by then the Office of Management and Budget will have a longer-term plan for shrinking the federal government. The impact, though, is far-reaching. The federal government employs some 2.8 million people, \u003ca href=\"http://www.governing.com/gov-data/federal-employees-workforce-numbers-by-state.html\">more than 80 percent of whom live outside \u003c/a>Washington, D.C., Maryland or Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"vjg58R7BVdorsMHxjIlonufU1rnuJz1B\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next steps are for the exceptions to be hammered out; the memorandum states that \"the head of any executive department or agency may exempt from the hiring freeze any positions that it deems necessary to meet national security or public safety responsibilities.\" That could give agency heads at least some flexibility to hire as needed. Other exceptions could also emerge. The Department of Veterans Affairs, for example, has 45,000 job openings, and Trump's nominee to lead the VA had \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/25/511469982/hiring-freeze-and-obamacare-repeal-could-clobber-veterans-affairs\">said he needs to fill those openings \u003c/a> to serve veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

And the actions hit on many of the most contentious issues in American politics: Trump moved to repeal the Affordable Care Act, remove roadblocks from the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, impose a hiring freeze on federal employees, withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and withhold federal funds from so-called\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/19/502684089/trump-vows-to-end-sanctuary-cities-but-no-one-can-agree-what-that-label-means\"> sanctuary cities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, Trump and his surrogates claimed to have drawn the largest-ever inauguration crowd (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/21/510994742/trump-administration-goes-to-war-with-the-media-over-inauguration-crowd-size\">he didn't\u003c/a>), said that 3 million to 5 million votes were illegally cast (no evidence of that), softened his stance toward the CIA and said that he would announce his pick for the Supreme Court next week. The Senate approved four of his nominees for high-level positions, and 10 others have finished their confirmation hearings and await votes. And it comes as congressional Republicans huddle to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511800216/gop-200-day-agenda-calls-for-spending-tax-cuts-but-what-about-the-deficit\">figure out a legislative way forward \u003c/a>with the new president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here, we take a look at the biggest issues and where they stand, one week into the Trump presidency:\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Affordable Care Act\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Within hours of being inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/2/executive-order-minimizing-economic-burden-patient-protection-and\">signed an executive order\u003c/a> that seeks to \"ease the burdens\" of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. The order allows the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other agency with authority under the law, to not enforce regulations that impose a financial burden on a state, company or individual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The order is so broad that it's possible it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/01/21/510901402/trumps-executive-order-could-dismantle-parts-of-aca-before-replacement-is-ready\">could dismantle key parts of the ACA before a replacement plan is ready\u003c/a>, owing to a potential lack of enforcement of some of the tax provisions like the mandate, the requirement that if you don't have health insurance, you have to buy it. That's despite previous statements from Republican lawmakers that a replacement plan would immediately follow repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The action adds a lot of confusion to an already complicated system. Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Rep. Tom Price, hasn't yet had his confirmation hearing or vote. He will be responsible for administering the program and exchanges run by the federal government for states that opted not to create their own systems. Price is an opponent of the ACA, and congressional Republicans are vowing to repeal the law. But they haven't yet settled on an alternative. Trump has also confused matters with a pledge to offer \"insurance for everybody,\" though congressional Republicans say they assume he means \"access\" for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Immigration and a border wall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Trump signed two executive orders related to \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/presidential-executive-order-enhancing-public-safety-interior-united\">immigration\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/executive-order-border-security-and-immigration-enforcement-improvementshttps://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/executive-order-border-security-and-immigration-enforcement-improvements\">border security\u003c/a>, shortly after the new head of the Department of Homeland Security, Marine Gen. John Kelly, was sworn in. \"Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders,\" Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move communicated that Trump planned to follow through with his oft-spoken-of plan to build a border wall, estimated to cost $15 billion or more. The fallout was immediate: Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto canceled a planned visit to Trump in Washington next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Congress need to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/25/511619026/donald-trumps-moving-forward-with-his-wall-is-it-really-going-to-happen\">figure out how to pay for it, for starters\u003c/a>. Though Trump has repeatedly said he would make Mexico pay for the wall, on Wednesday he told ABC News that the U.S. will be \"reimbursed at a later date\" by Mexico for the costs of building the wall. Congressional Republicans vowed to come up with the funding during a policy retreat Thursday in Philadelphia, though they did not specify how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that one way the administration is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511861462/trumps-suggested-import-tax-would-mean-americans-pay-for-that-wall\">considering paying for the wall is via a 20 percent tax on imports \u003c/a>from Mexico — a cost that would mean that U.S. consumers would, in fact, pay for the wall. Ironically, that was part of a congressional plan that Trump, less than two weeks ago, derided as \"too complicated.\" Hours later, the White House walked it back, saying there are many funding options being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Voter fraud\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump told congressional leaders in a bipartisan, bicameral meeting at the White House that he would have won the popular vote, were it not for 3 million to 5 million votes cast against him by \"illegals.\" When asked about it at the Tuesday press briefing, Spicer affirmed that \"the president does believe that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was revealed by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/trump-bernhard-langer-voting-fraud.html?_r=0\">New York Times\u003c/a> that Trump is partially basing his belief on a story he heard thirdhand from a professional golfer, born in Germany, who wasn't allowed to vote in Florida and claimed there were people in line behind him who looked like they shouldn't be allowed to vote. After NPR's Mara Liasson pressed Spicer at a White House briefing on why the president wouldn't call for an investigation into something that could be the biggest scandal in U.S. history, Trump tweeted, in fact, that he would. On Thursday, Spicer told reporters Trump will issue an executive action calling for a probe of voter fraud in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's insistence that massive voter fraud occurred would seem to set up a showdown between the White House and ... the evidence. So far, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/24/511420960/trump-still-insists-millions-voted-illegally-theres-no-evidence-of-that\">no evidence of significant voter fraud has come to light\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, it's unclear. The White House insists it will issue an executive action to launch an investigation, but it's uncertain what form a probe would take. Would it be run by the White House? Would the Justice Department take it up (even though the Justice Department is supposed to operate independently of the White House)? The U.S. has already conducted a voter fraud investigation, by the way, during the Bush administration — and found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, turning up only \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/washington/12fraud.html\">120 people charged and 86 convicted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>The environment and infrastructure\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Trump signed \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/24/511402501/trump-to-give-green-light-to-keystone-dakota-access-pipelines\">five executive actions \u003c/a>relating to the Keystone XL pipeline, the Dakota Access Pipeline, using American materials when building pipelines, reducing regulations for domestic manufacturing, and \"expediting environmental reviews and approval for high-priority infrastructure projects.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pipelines had been stopped during the Obama administration. Trump's actions mean that the owner of the Keystone XL pipeline could apply again for a construction permit, and it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/26/511892321/transcanada-submits-new-application-to-build-keystone-xl-pipeline\">did exactly that Thursday night\u003c/a>. Trump also encouraged the Army Corps of Engineers to\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/assets/news/2017/01/DakotaAccessConstruction.pdf\"> expedite the review and approval process\u003c/a> for the section of the Dakota Access Pipeline that hasn't been built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Dakota Access issue will probably head back to federal court: The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said it \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/24/511411653/trumps-move-on-keystone-xl-dakota-access-outrages-activists\">will take legal action \u003c/a>to fight Trump's decision, saying the pipeline \"risks contaminating tribal and American water supplies while disregarding treaty rights.\" Demonstrators remain camped near the site where the Dakota Access Pipeline is slated to cross under the Missouri River.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch2>Hiring freeze for federal workers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Trump signed a presidential memorandum imposing a hiring freeze on federal workers, with exceptions for military positions and national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the consequences?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ramifications are immediate: The freeze is now in effect and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/pentagon-sill-scrambling-to-understand-trump-hiring-freeze/2017/01/24/390a8c2a-e24f-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html\">is scheduled to last 90 days\u003c/a>. It's expected that by then the Office of Management and Budget will have a longer-term plan for shrinking the federal government. The impact, though, is far-reaching. The federal government employs some 2.8 million people, \u003ca href=\"http://www.governing.com/gov-data/federal-employees-workforce-numbers-by-state.html\">more than 80 percent of whom live outside \u003c/a>Washington, D.C., Maryland or Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next steps are for the exceptions to be hammered out; the memorandum states that \"the head of any executive department or agency may exempt from the hiring freeze any positions that it deems necessary to meet national security or public safety responsibilities.\" That could give agency heads at least some flexibility to hire as needed. Other exceptions could also emerge. The Department of Veterans Affairs, for example, has 45,000 job openings, and Trump's nominee to lead the VA had \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/25/511469982/hiring-freeze-and-obamacare-repeal-could-clobber-veterans-affairs\">said he needs to fill those openings \u003c/a> to serve veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is frequently called upon to decide complex problems, especially when two different agencies are in conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the George W. Bush years, it drew criticism for opinions that paved the way for harsh detainee interrogation tactics. During the Obama administration, the office blessed the legality of weaponized drone strikes against an American citizen overseas. Earlier this month, a career lawyer in the office \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/attachments/2017/01/21/2017-01-20-anti-nepo-stat-who.pdf\">concluded\u003c/a> that Trump's hiring of son-in-law Jared Kushner for a top post in the White House did not violate federal anti-nepotism law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prospect that administration lawyers are not reviewing a series of executive orders flowing out of the White House in its first week is raising eyebrows in legal circles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"OLC is supposed to review all executive orders for legality before they are issued,\" Matthew Miller, a former spokesman for the Obama Justice Department, pointed out on Twitter in response to this reporter. \"Longstanding practice under admins of both parties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/matthewamiller/status/825019054746275840\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Miller said, under a decades-old \u003ca href=\"https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/11030.html\">federal rule\u003c/a>, the president is supposed to submit proposed executive orders and proclamations to both the Office of Management and Budget and the attorney general, who reviews the materials for both \"form and legality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House in years past has at times bypassed the OLC altogether on sensitive matters of national security or has overruled informal oral advice from lawyers there. For instance, in 2011, the Obama White House rejected the judgment of Justice Department and Pentagon officials and decided it had the authority to continue military operations in Libya without seeking approval from Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"AABma2Fc9WHS9e2RLZYDN8ZO7ZTU8MWc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal scholars and veterans of the OLC said the ultimate legal power resides with the president himself. And, they said, at times during a transition to a new administration, the coordination between the Justice Department and the White House on issues of law and policy can take time to mature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Walter Dellinger, who headed the OLC during the Clinton administration, said it's \"essential that any order issued by the president be reviewed for lawfulness by the career lawyers at the Office of Legal Counsel. That is not a task that can be left to White House staff if we are going to be a nation of laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at the Constitutional Accountability Center, a left-leaning public interest law firm and think tank, said Trump's nominee to lead the Justice Department, Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, should answer questions about whether he'll \"commit to requiring OLC to perform its long-established role of reviewing such orders in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>President Trump says he plans to announce his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has begun to float specific names for the high court's vacancy. The consensus seems to be that among the finalists on Trump's shortlist are Neil Gorsuch, a judge on the federal appeals court based in Denver; Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of Alabama, who served on the federal appeals court based in Atlanta; and Judge Thomas Hardiman of Pittsburgh, who serves on the 3rd Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All were appointed to their current positions by President George W. Bush and are considered hard-core conservatives, but there the similarity ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gorsuch, 49, is considered a cerebral proponent of \"originalism,\" the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have more than 200 years ago, and of \"textualism,\" the idea that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering the legislative history and underlying purpose of the law. The Colorado native is Ivy League-educated, and while in undergraduate school at Columbia University, co-founded a newspaper aimed at rebutting what he considered the dominant liberal and \"politically correct\" philosophy on campus. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he also earned a doctorate in legal philosophy at Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In private practice, he represented mostly corporate clients, and in 2005 he became principal deputy associate attorney general in the Bush administration Justice Department. A year later he was nominated to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has earned a reputation as a scholarly conservative with a flair for writing vividly that is similar to — though perhaps not as sharp in tone as — Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative icon whose death last year created the current Supreme Court vacancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"izXy6iZpGCcu7JduaQFkMT4PwBp7t2se\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Democrats would very likely oppose a Gorsuch nomination in large numbers, he is seen as less of a lightning rod than Judge Pryor, who famously called \u003cem>Roe v. Wade,\u003c/em> the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision, \"the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educated at Northeast Louisiana University and Tulane Law School, Pryor, 54, is a protege of Trump's nominee for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions. When Sessions served as Alabama state attorney general, Pryor was his deputy and succeeded him when Sessions was elected to the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As state attorney general, Pryor filed a brief that supported the right of states to make consenting private homosexual conduct a crime. \"The states should not be required to accept, as a matter of constitutional doctrine, that homosexual activity is harmless and does not expose both the individual and the public to deleterious spiritual and physical consequences,\" Pryor wrote in the brief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pryor's nomination to the federal appeals court in 2003 was blocked by Senate Democrats until President Bush gave him a temporary appointment while the Senate was in recess. Thereafter, he was confirmed in a deal brokered by centrist Republicans and Democrats that allowed some pending nominees to go through, but not others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pryor, a devout Roman Catholic, is a particular favorite among evangelicals and other social conservatives, but he was criticized by some conservative activists when, as state attorney general, he led the charge in removing Alabama's chief justice for refusing to obey a federal court order to take a Ten Commandments monument out of the courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"HwZRuE4nKY812xHrVfdZ9L0ariG7IxLR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Pryor nomination would undoubtedly spark a major confirmation fight — a fight that Democrats are itching for. They are angry over the nearly yearlong refusal by Republicans to consider President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, a stalling tactic that set a historic precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third short-lister is Judge Hardiman, educated at Notre Dame and Georgetown Law School. Like other potential nominees on the short list, the 51-year-old has a conservative record, in his case with particular emphasis on the rights of gun owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of which judge is picked by President Trump for nomination to the nation's highest court, none would change the 5-to-4 conservative majority that has prevailed, for the most part, for decades; anyone Trump nominates would be replacing Justice Scalia — in short, a conservative for a conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is the next Trump Supreme Court nomination that very likely would change things dramatically, converting a conservative 5-to-4 majority that sometimes flips the other way when one of the conservatives, usually Justice Anthony Kennedy, votes with the court's four liberals to make a more liberal majority. With one more appointment, there would be a 6-to-3 majority, a vote to spare. And lots of long-standing precedents could fall, including \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the actuarial possibility of that happening is considerable. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the court's leading liberal, will turn 84 in March; Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's so-called swing justice, is 80; and Justice Stephen Breyer, another of the liberal justices, is 78. So it is entirely possible that Trump could get two or three more appointments, leaving just two liberal justices on the court and providing conservatives with an overwhelming majority that could dramatically change the law for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The consensus seems to be that among the finalists on Trump's shortlist are Neil Gorsuch, a judge on the federal appeals court based in Denver; Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of Alabama, who served on the federal appeals court based in Atlanta; and Judge Thomas Hardiman of Pittsburgh, who serves on the 3rd Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All were appointed to their current positions by President George W. Bush and are considered hard-core conservatives, but there the similarity ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gorsuch, 49, is considered a cerebral proponent of \"originalism,\" the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have more than 200 years ago, and of \"textualism,\" the idea that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering the legislative history and underlying purpose of the law. The Colorado native is Ivy League-educated, and while in undergraduate school at Columbia University, co-founded a newspaper aimed at rebutting what he considered the dominant liberal and \"politically correct\" philosophy on campus. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he also earned a doctorate in legal philosophy at Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In private practice, he represented mostly corporate clients, and in 2005 he became principal deputy associate attorney general in the Bush administration Justice Department. A year later he was nominated to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has earned a reputation as a scholarly conservative with a flair for writing vividly that is similar to — though perhaps not as sharp in tone as — Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative icon whose death last year created the current Supreme Court vacancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Wade,\u003c/em> the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision, \"the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educated at Northeast Louisiana University and Tulane Law School, Pryor, 54, is a protege of Trump's nominee for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions. When Sessions served as Alabama state attorney general, Pryor was his deputy and succeeded him when Sessions was elected to the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As state attorney general, Pryor filed a brief that supported the right of states to make consenting private homosexual conduct a crime. \"The states should not be required to accept, as a matter of constitutional doctrine, that homosexual activity is harmless and does not expose both the individual and the public to deleterious spiritual and physical consequences,\" Pryor wrote in the brief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pryor's nomination to the federal appeals court in 2003 was blocked by Senate Democrats until President Bush gave him a temporary appointment while the Senate was in recess. Thereafter, he was confirmed in a deal brokered by centrist Republicans and Democrats that allowed some pending nominees to go through, but not others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pryor, a devout Roman Catholic, is a particular favorite among evangelicals and other social conservatives, but he was criticized by some conservative activists when, as state attorney general, he led the charge in removing Alabama's chief justice for refusing to obey a federal court order to take a Ten Commandments monument out of the courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Pryor nomination would undoubtedly spark a major confirmation fight — a fight that Democrats are itching for. They are angry over the nearly yearlong refusal by Republicans to consider President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, a stalling tactic that set a historic precedent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third short-lister is Judge Hardiman, educated at Notre Dame and Georgetown Law School. Like other potential nominees on the short list, the 51-year-old has a conservative record, in his case with particular emphasis on the rights of gun owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of which judge is picked by President Trump for nomination to the nation's highest court, none would change the 5-to-4 conservative majority that has prevailed, for the most part, for decades; anyone Trump nominates would be replacing Justice Scalia — in short, a conservative for a conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is the next Trump Supreme Court nomination that very likely would change things dramatically, converting a conservative 5-to-4 majority that sometimes flips the other way when one of the conservatives, usually Justice Anthony Kennedy, votes with the court's four liberals to make a more liberal majority. With one more appointment, there would be a 6-to-3 majority, a vote to spare. And lots of long-standing precedents could fall, including \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the actuarial possibility of that happening is considerable. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the court's leading liberal, will turn 84 in March; Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's so-called swing justice, is 80; and Justice Stephen Breyer, another of the liberal justices, is 78. So it is entirely possible that Trump could get two or three more appointments, leaving just two liberal justices on the court and providing conservatives with an overwhelming majority that could dramatically change the law for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

It came after Trump went to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, Saturday to laud the spy agency and blast Democrats for delaying a vote on Pompeo's nomination. (That was the same event where the president said he was at \"war\" with the media and falsely claimed to have 1 million to 1.5 million people in attendance for his inauguration.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, CIA director is not part of the president's Cabinet, but it is a high-level, important position. Currently, just two of Trump's Cabinet nominees have been confirmed — his Defense and Homeland Security secretaries. His Cabinet is expected to move a few steps closer to being rounded out Tuesday when four nominees get Senate committee votes — Ben Carson for Housing and Urban Development (10 a.m. ET), Elaine Chao for Transportation, Nikki Haley for U.N. ambassador and Wilbur Ross for Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two key nominees are expected to testify Tuesday — Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., for Health and Human Services secretary before the Senate Finance Committee (10 a.m. ET) and Rep.

That's thanks to a rules change implemented, ironically, by Democrats when they were in the majority. In 2013, Democrats were frustrated by Republican obstruction of lower-level federal court appointees. So then-Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada eliminated a rule requiring 60 votes to move a nominee to a vote by the full Senate. (The move does not apply to Supreme Court nominees or legislation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a handful of these Trump nominees one could point to who might not have been able to gain enough Democratic votes to be in Trump's Cabinet if the 60-vote threshold were still in place. Think: Betsy DeVos, who showed little depth on education policy, for Education; State nominee Rex Tillerson because of his oil company background; Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions, due to questions about his views on race and his commitment to voting rights; Labor nominee Andy Puzder because of his fast-food chains' employee policies; Steve Mnuchin, now in line to be Treasury secretary, for profiting off the foreclosure crisis; and possibly others, whom Democrats might have voted down, might have been pulled or possibly never brought forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process can be confusing, so here's a quick primer on the steps it takes to become a member of the president's Cabinet, followed by where each nominee is in the process:\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch5>The steps\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.
