His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Essick said in his Friday account of the incident that Santa Rosa police had alerted his office that the car had been located \"and was on the move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said that although Ward had initially pulled over when deputies tried to stop him, he drove away, prompting the pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What our deputies did not know at the time was that Mr. Ward was not only the owner of the car, but the victim of the earlier carjacking,\" Essick said. \"The suspect had pistol-whipped him and stole his car. Mr. Ward had recovered the car, but failed to report it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It remains a mystery\" why Ward fled instead of stopping and cooperating with deputies, Essick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the chase, on a dead-end street in the community of Bloomfield, the video shows deputies confronting Ward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, Ward is initially slow in responding to orders to keep his hands in view and has difficulty unlocking the car. He then rolls down the driver's side window and says, \"I can't believe this. I'm the injured party here. ... Why are you f___ing harassing me all the time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Blount moves to forcibly remove Ward from his vehicle through the open window. \"Give me your hands. Give me your f___ing hands. ... Get the f___ out of the car!\" Blount says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blount tries to drag Ward out of the car, Ward's legs are caught under his steering wheel. He cries out in pain, and both Blount and Little curse, saying Ward has bitten them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the struggle continues, Blount grabs Ward by the hair and forces his head against the forward frame of the car door as Ward moans. Seconds later, he pulls Ward's head back and forcefully slams it against the doorframe. At nearly the same moment, Little shocks Ward with a Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly afterwards, the deputies, assisted by a pair of Sebastopol police officers, manage to remove Ward from the car through the front passenger door. As other deputies arrive, one observes that Ward, who had been placed on the ground and handcuffed, is unconscious, prompting a call to paramedics to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11789667\" hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS20565_alt_948-1020x672.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those arriving on the scene was Deputy Nick Jax, who had spoken to Ward about his stolen car just hours before the chase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the owner of the car,\" Jax says. \"That's David Ward. He's the victim of the 215 (carjacking).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then why did he run?\" Little asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know why he ran,\" Jax responds. \"He had no reason to run. I was out with him like two hours ago at his house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing Jax's account, Blount says, in a nonchalant tone, \"Oh well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediately after that exchange, officers say Ward is no longer breathing, and a deputy starts CPR. Paramedics transported Ward to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The cause of his death is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick told KQED he found Blount's \"oh well\" retort — made while the unconscious Ward lay nearby — \"very troubling. ... That does not reflect the values of me as the sheriff of this county, and it does not reflect the values of the 650 other employees that work here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Blount's actions on the video \"really warranted a look right away\" and that the deputy's behavior raised a host of questions about his response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think some people will look at that to say, wait a second, the guy’s engaging you in conversation, he’s attempting to explain the situation,\" Essick said. \"Why didn’t Deputy Blount take that as an indicator to ask more questions? To say, 'Hey, wait a minute, why are you saying you’re the injured party? Whose car is this? Who are you, why are you driving this car?' But none of those questions were asked. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Deputy Blount made a choice to escalate the situation, which resulted in what we have here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said his agency's investigation found Blount had violated several department policies, including rules governing use of force, high-risk stops and use of firearms, and was guilty of conduct that brought discredit to the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County-based civil rights attorney Izaak Schwaiger is representing Ward's mother, who he says intends to file a lawsuit against Sonoma County and Blount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"David's mother is hurting, and she wants justice for her son,\" Schwaiger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called the video \"frightening\" and said that he was \"somewhat encouraged\" by Essick's move to fire Blount. But Schwaiger added that Sonoma County law enforcement officials, including District Attorney Jill Ravitch, should have taken action against Blount years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwaiger represented a woman whom Blount arrested in Jan. 2015 for jaywalking and resisting arrest. \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/FB3XTRP1kOs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A video\u003c/a> of that encounter shows Blount grabbing the woman around the neck and throwing her to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney said Ravitch should have taken action against Blount after Blount appeared to give false testimony by denying he had seized the woman by the neck. The judge in the case directed prosecutors to place Blount’s testimony in the district attorney’s files documenting officers with credibility issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jill Ravitch gave him a pass, despite video evidence and a court order regarding his perjurous testimony,” Schwaiger said. \"It was basically her [Ravitch's] exoneration of this very same deputy five years ago that kept him on the force and led to this man’s death today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA's office declined to comment on whether the video appears to show a crime committed by a sheriff's deputy. It is awaiting a complete criminal investigation by the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is ongoing, the office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office has declined to say whether Blount ever ended up on the DA's Brady List — a record of officers who have committed misconduct. A spokeswoman said such a record of misconduct, however, \"would not prevent an officer from being on duty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sukey Lewis of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But the sheriff's office is not releasing documents on Blount's firing at this time, Essick said, citing several ongoing investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/az807R-35Vg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 12-minute video, recorded on a body camera worn by Deputy Jason Little, depicts a chase reaching speeds of more than 70 mph that began just before 6 a.m. on the day before Thanksgiving in rural western Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little was pursuing the vehicle, driven by Ward, because it had been reported stolen in a carjacking several days earlier. Essick said in his Friday account of the incident that Santa Rosa police had alerted his office that the car had been located \"and was on the move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said that although Ward had initially pulled over when deputies tried to stop him, he drove away, prompting the pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What our deputies did not know at the time was that Mr. Ward was not only the owner of the car, but the victim of the earlier carjacking,\" Essick said. \"The suspect had pistol-whipped him and stole his car. Mr. Ward had recovered the car, but failed to report it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It remains a mystery\" why Ward fled instead of stopping and cooperating with deputies, Essick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the chase, on a dead-end street in the community of Bloomfield, the video shows deputies confronting Ward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, Ward is initially slow in responding to orders to keep his hands in view and has difficulty unlocking the car. He then rolls down the driver's side window and says, \"I can't believe this. I'm the injured party here. ... Why are you f___ing harassing me all the time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Blount moves to forcibly remove Ward from his vehicle through the open window. \"Give me your hands. Give me your f___ing hands. ... Get the f___ out of the car!\" Blount says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blount tries to drag Ward out of the car, Ward's legs are caught under his steering wheel. He cries out in pain, and both Blount and Little curse, saying Ward has bitten them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the struggle continues, Blount grabs Ward by the hair and forces his head against the forward frame of the car door as Ward moans. Seconds later, he pulls Ward's head back and forcefully slams it against the doorframe. At nearly the same moment, Little shocks Ward with a Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly afterwards, the deputies, assisted by a pair of Sebastopol police officers, manage to remove Ward from the car through the front passenger door. As other deputies arrive, one observes that Ward, who had been placed on the ground and handcuffed, is unconscious, prompting a call to paramedics to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He's the victim of the 215 (carjacking).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then why did he run?\" Little asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know why he ran,\" Jax responds. \"He had no reason to run.

Paramedics transported Ward to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The cause of his death is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick told KQED he found Blount's \"oh well\" retort — made while the unconscious Ward lay nearby — \"very troubling. ... That does not reflect the values of me as the sheriff of this county, and it does not reflect the values of the 650 other employees that work here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Blount's actions on the video \"really warranted a look right away\" and that the deputy's behavior raised a host of questions about his response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think some people will look at that to say, wait a second, the guy’s engaging you in conversation, he’s attempting to explain the situation,\" Essick said. \"Why didn’t Deputy Blount take that as an indicator to ask more questions? To say, 'Hey, wait a minute, why are you saying you’re the injured party? Whose car is this? Who are you, why are you driving this car?' But none of those questions were asked. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Deputy Blount made a choice to escalate the situation, which resulted in what we have here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said his agency's investigation found Blount had violated several department policies, including rules governing use of force, high-risk stops and use of firearms, and was guilty of conduct that brought discredit to the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County-based civil rights attorney Izaak Schwaiger is representing Ward's mother, who he says intends to file a lawsuit against Sonoma County and Blount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"David's mother is hurting, and she wants justice for her son,\" Schwaiger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called the video \"frightening\" and said that he was \"somewhat encouraged\" by Essick's move to fire Blount. But Schwaiger added that Sonoma County law enforcement officials, including District Attorney Jill Ravitch, should have taken action against Blount years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In recent days, McConnell has also said he is closely coordinating with the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Wednesday's impeachment vote, a handful of House members considered \"withholding the articles\" to try to force concessions from McConnell and others on their trial plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discussion comes as Senate Republicans have ramped up talks to hold a quick trial in January that will allow Trump to present a robust defense and would end in his imminent acquittal. Trump and White House officials have also kicked up their Senate outreach with Republican members, inviting them for weekly luncheons or other meetings in recent months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you basically have the leader of the Senate saying I'm going to negotiate completely with the defendant here ... that makes a mockery of the whole process,\" said California Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier, a member of the House Intelligence Committee. \"I think by withholding, you try to negotiate their participation and witnesses. ... It's leverage because [Trump] can't say I'm totally exonerated by the Senate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only a handful of Senate Republicans, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, have said they would like to remain impartial jurors in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Connecticut Democratic Rep. Jim Himes, another member of the House Intelligence Committee, defended the idea of holding back the impeachment articles from the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Mitch McConnell publicly abrogates his duty to be a fair juror I think there is a cause ... to take a step back and ask is this the moment to transmit it to the Senate,\" Himes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer wasn't ready to give his thoughts on the idea, but said it's currently under consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's being discussed,\" Hoyer said. \"I think it's an interesting idea and we are going to discuss it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Jersey Democratic Rep.

The first article, which charges Trump with abuse of power, was approved largely along a party line vote, 230-197-1. The second article on obstructing Congress passed 229-198-1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two Democrats opposed the first impeachment article, Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson and New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who is expected to switch parties to the GOP this week. Maine Rep. Jared Golden voted for the first article but against the second one. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, voted present. No Republicans voted for either article, although Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP earlier this year to become an independent because he supported impeachment, also voted for both articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House spent six hours of debate on the articles throughout the day on Wednesday. The vote came just one day before the 21 year anniversary of the House voting to impeach President Bill Clinton in 1998. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the debate, Democrats framed the choice as one to protect the Constitution and democracy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we do not act now,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a speech on the floor, \"we would be derelict in our duty.\" She added that the president \"gave us no choice\" and called Trump an \"ongoing threat\" to national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and other Democratic women wore black to signify the solemnity of the occasion. But Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., disputed the idea of this being a somber moment for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a solemn occasion,\" Collins said. \"When you go looking for something for three years, and especially this year since January, you ought to be excited when you've found it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins went on. \"Why do we keep calling this a solemn occasion when you've been wanting to do this ever since the gentleman was elected?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president, apparently following the debate at the White House, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1207355923573989376\">tweeted \u003c/a>(in all caps) that the \"radical left\" is putting forward \"atrocious lies\" and called the push for his impeachment \"an assault on America and an assault on the Republican party!!!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1207355923573989376?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday morning, the House debated the rules on how to proceed and approved it on a mostly party-line vote, 228-197. There were just two Democratic defections — Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota and Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These same two opposed the House resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/15/788219342/house-democrat-who-opposed-impeachment-plans-to-switch-to-the-republican-party\">Van Drew is planning to switch parties\u003c/a> but has not officially announced when he will become a Republican. The lone independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, voted with Democrats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules were determined by the House Rules Committee on Tuesday night. The morning session also saw some debate from members of Congress about Trump's impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one came to Congress to impeach a president,\" Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., said on the House floor. But, he added, Trump's behavior \"is so blatantly wrong that ignoring his abuses of power would be abdicating the oath we made to protect this country and uphold our Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members framed their votes as a legacy moment for their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., addressed his floor speech to his children. \"I want to tell you the story of this day,\" he said. \"Let the record show that today justice won, that we did our job, that we kept our word, that we stood our sacred ground. Let the record show that we did not let you down.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy concluded, \"I love you. Listen to Mom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Trump Impeachment Inquiry\" tag=\"impeachment\"]Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., referenced Scripture. \"When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers,\" Loudermilk said. \"During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Republicans complained about the impeachment process and argued the president has committed no crimes. There is \"no proof, none\" that the president committed an impeachable offense, said Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz. She charged that \"Democrats are tearing this country apart; they're tearing families apart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., argued that Democrats have long wanted to impeach Trump. \"If we're really being honest,\" Cole said, \"Democrats have been searching to impeach President Trump since the day he was elected.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing lawmakers from both sides of the aisle did agree on: It was a sad day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a sad day. It is not a day for joy,\" said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. \"When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something, to do something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a sad day for America,\" agreed Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, before calling for a moment of silence to memorialize the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, the House rejected two motions brought forward by Republicans seeking to delay the eventual impeachment vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The articles of impeachment were approved on a party-line vote last week by the House Judiciary Committee. Wednesday's vote is also expected to closely follow party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have remained solidly behind the president, while Democrats — who control the House — have run the process leading up to Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump on Tuesday released \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Letter-from-President-Trump-final.pdf\">a scorching letter\u003c/a> to Pelosi, in which he called the impeachment effort an \"illegal, partisan attempted coup.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You are unwilling and unable to accept the verdict issued at the ballot box during the great Election of 2016,\" he wrote. \"So you have spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of the American people and nullify their votes. You view democracy as your enemy!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president told reporters Tuesday that he takes \"zero\" responsibility for getting impeached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats charge that\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the president abused the power of his office \"by ignoring national security and other vital national interests to obtain an improper personal political benefit,\" according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/16/788383947/read-the-house-judiciary-committees-trump-impeachment-report\">an impeachment report\u003c/a> by House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, released Sunday. It further charges that Trump \"betrayed the nation by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the second article, obstruction of Congress, the Judiciary Committee majority charges\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>that \"no president has ever claimed the unilateral prerogative to categorically and indiscriminately deny a House impeachment inquiry\" and that Trump's\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"direction to defy House subpoenas constituted an assault on the Impeachment Clause itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the House adopts the articles of impeachment, as expected, the next step is for leadership to name the impeachment managers for a Senate trial. That move could come as early as Wednesday night, but Pelosi will decide whom to tap and she has not signaled when she will do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Senate, meanwhile, White House staffers distributed Christmas cards from Trump as well as copies of his letter to Pelosi, according to Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1207391721539227648?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a Senate trial, all 100 senators will act as jurors. Two-thirds, or 67 votes, would be needed to convict Trump, an outcome that is unlikely\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>in the Republican-led Senate. In remarks to reporters on Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/17/788924966/mcconnell-i-m-not-impartial-about-impeachment\">Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he is not neutral\u003c/a> on whether Trump should be removed from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not an impartial juror,\" he said. \"This is a political process. There's not anything judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision. The House made a partisan political decision to impeach. I would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the Senate. I'm not impartial about this at all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giving a taste of the continuing party battles, McConnell has rejected a Democratic proposal for certain witnesses. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton, along with two others, to testify. But McConnell rejected the idea, calling it \"dead wrong.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Wednesday's vote is also expected to closely follow party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have remained solidly behind the president, while Democrats — who control the House — have run the process leading up to Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump on Tuesday released \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Letter-from-President-Trump-final.pdf\">a scorching letter\u003c/a> to Pelosi, in which he called the impeachment effort an \"illegal, partisan attempted coup.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You are unwilling and unable to accept the verdict issued at the ballot box during the great Election of 2016,\" he wrote. \"So you have spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of the American people and nullify their votes. You view democracy as your enemy!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president told reporters Tuesday that he takes \"zero\" responsibility for getting impeached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats charge that\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>the president abused the power of his office \"by ignoring national security and other vital national interests to obtain an improper personal political benefit,\" according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/16/788383947/read-the-house-judiciary-committees-trump-impeachment-report\">an impeachment report\u003c/a> by House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, released Sunday. It further charges that Trump \"betrayed the nation by abusing his high office to enlist a foreign power in corrupting democratic elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the second article, obstruction of Congress, the Judiciary Committee majority charges\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>that \"no president has ever claimed the unilateral prerogative to categorically and indiscriminately deny a House impeachment inquiry\" and that Trump's\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"direction to defy House subpoenas constituted an assault on the Impeachment Clause itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the House adopts the articles of impeachment, as expected, the next step is for leadership to name the impeachment managers for a Senate trial. That move could come as early as Wednesday night, but Pelosi will decide whom to tap and she has not signaled when she will do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Senate, meanwhile, White House staffers distributed Christmas cards from Trump as well as copies of his letter to Pelosi, according to Sen.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>For 46 publicly held companies in California with all-male boards, the clock is ticking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The corporations, including pharmaceutical, financial and software companies that tend to be on the smaller, younger side, have only until revelers ring in 2020 to name a woman to their boards of directors or face a $100,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2018/11/california-women-boardroom-law-faces-legal-challenges/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A bill signed into law \u003c/a>by former Gov. Jerry Brown in September 2018 required public companies with headquarters in California to name at least one female director by the end of 2019. The law further mandates that companies with five-member boards have at least two female directors by the end of 2021; corporations with six or more directors need at least three women. The penalties for failing to comply rise accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State became the first in the nation to legislate the requirement for female board members, inspiring lawmakers in Massachusetts and New Jersey to introduce similar proposals. Illinois enacted a pale version of the California law, requiring publicly traded companies to report each year their boards’ demographics and plans to promote diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Anastasia Boden, Pacific Legal Foundation\"]'We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se. The injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers tracking the situation in California say the new law appears to be having the intended effect, with more than 90% of publicly traded companies based in the state now in compliance — and with women added to at least two dozen all-male boards just since July. But the measure has also drawn legal challenges, as many observers predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In acknowledging “serious legal objections” to the law, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/89/11/e07e898d40bfa1a532dabef65abe/sb-826-signing-message.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said when he signed\u003c/a> that it was nonetheless important to send a message to the male-dominated business world. That message has resulted in at least two lawsuits. One was \u003ca href=\"https://pacificlegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Creighton-Meland-v.-Alex-Padilla-Secretary-of-State-of-California-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed in November\u003c/a> by the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm, on behalf of a shareholder of OSI Systems Inc., a manufacturer of airport security, medical and other equipment based in Hawthorne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Creighton Meland Jr., a retired corporate attorney, maintains that the “woman quota” would force him to discriminate when voting for OSI board members. Instead of voting for the best candidate, he said, he would have to consider the person’s sex as well. OSI, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has a seven-member board that includes founder and Chief Executive Deepak Chopra (not the internationally famed holistic medicine proponent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se,” said Anastasia Boden, a senior attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation, who is handling the Meland case. “The 2020injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would violate the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, which was meant to create a sex- and race-blind society, she said, adding: “This law … just reduces people back down to their immutable traits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier challenge was filed in August by Judicial Watch, a conservative group based in Washington, on behalf of three California taxpayers. That suit argues that spending taxpayer money to enforce the law would violate the state’s Constitution. Jill Farrell, a Judicial Watch spokeswoman, said the case was scheduled to be heard March 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both suits name Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whose office handles corporate filings and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/women-boards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">processes the records\u003c/a> of entities that conduct business in California. Padilla has asked a judge to throw out the Judicial Watch lawsuit, saying taxpayers have not been harmed and thus have no standing to sue. Paula Valle, a spokeswoman for the secretary of state, said his office would review the Pacific Legal Foundation suit and “respond in court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11791982 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/women-on-boards-graphic-e1576700766468.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"800\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the number of women in boardrooms is rising, sexual parity remains a distant prospect in California and globally. According to the accounting giant Deloitte’s \u003ca href=\"https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/risk/articles/women-in-the-boardroom-global-perspective.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most recent report\u003c/a> on the issue, released in October, women hold just 16.9% of board seats worldwide, a 1.9-point increase from 2017. Norway, with 41% of board seats held by women, the highest percentage in the world, was the first country to enact legislation requiring female representation, in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, women now hold 21.2% of the board seats at the state’s 444 largest corporations, according to \u003ca href=\"https://2020wob.com/educate2/#ourReport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 Women on Boards\u003c/a>, an education and advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. In the boardrooms of the 414 companies on the Russell 3000 lists in both 2018 and 2019, female corporate directors gained 183 seats between July 2018 and June 2019. Still, 36 of the Russell 3000 companies in California had no women on their boards as of June. The Russell 3000 tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — the Santa Barbara Democrat who wrote the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 826\u003c/a> — noted when the measure became law that a quarter of California’s publicly traded companies did not have a woman on their boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was despite the fact that women made more than 70% of buying decisions, she said, making their input “critical to discussions and decisions that affect corporate culture, actions and profitability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the legal challenges, Jackson said recently in a statement: “I certainly respect the constitutional right of anyone to challenge the law in our courts. However, I strongly believe that this measure meets constitutional requirements and will be held up in court. Significant research has shown the importance of adding women to boards to improve profitability and add to the economic well-being of the state, as well the interest of the state to advance gender equality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law itself does appear to have spurred some companies to add women to their boards. Skechers, Stamps.com and TiVo, for instance, all named women to previously all-male boards after SB 826’s passage; they and several other companies contacted for this story did not respond or issued a “no comment” to requests for interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, 2020 Women on Boards\"]'We’ve already won the hearts and minds of corporations and good-governance leaders throughout the country. We’ve already won the public awareness campaign.'[/pullquote]“We knew that someone would sue,” said Betsy Berkhemer-Credaire, a Los Angeles executive recruiter and board member of the California chapter of the National Assn. of Women Business Owners, which lobbied extensively for the measure. She said she doubted that the cases would get far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t expect it to be much beyond a kerfuffle,” said Berkhemer-Credaire, who is also chief executive of 2020 Women on Boards. “The reason I sound so cavalier about it is that we’ve already won the hearts and minds of corporations and good-governance leaders throughout the country. We’ve already won the public awareness campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Institutional investors have helped to spark public awareness about the relative lack of diversity in the boardroom. TIAA’s “Women on Boards” initiative, which began in 2018, targeted about 470 mid- and small-cap companies, asking that each company either add a female director or adopt a formal policy to emphasize diversity. More than one-third of the companies had added a female director by the end of the 2019 proxy season. Companies that did not cooperate faced TIAA opposition via proxy votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-running failure of some technology companies to include women on their boards helped to fuel support for the mandate. Twitter, the social networking entity founded in San Francisco in 2006, tweeted the naming of its first female director in November 2013, days after becoming a public company.

But the measure has also drawn legal challenges, as many observers predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In acknowledging “serious legal objections” to the law, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/89/11/e07e898d40bfa1a532dabef65abe/sb-826-signing-message.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said when he signed\u003c/a> that it was nonetheless important to send a message to the male-dominated business world. That message has resulted in at least two lawsuits. One was \u003ca href=\"https://pacificlegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Creighton-Meland-v.-Alex-Padilla-Secretary-of-State-of-California-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed in November\u003c/a> by the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm, on behalf of a shareholder of OSI Systems Inc., a manufacturer of airport security, medical and other equipment based in Hawthorne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Creighton Meland Jr., a retired corporate attorney, maintains that the “woman quota” would force him to discriminate when voting for OSI board members. Instead of voting for the best candidate, he said, he would have to consider the person’s sex as well. OSI, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has a seven-member board that includes founder and Chief Executive Deepak Chopra (not the internationally famed holistic medicine proponent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se,” said Anastasia Boden, a senior attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation, who is handling the Meland case. “The 2020injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would violate the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, which was meant to create a sex- and race-blind society, she said, adding: “This law … just reduces people back down to their immutable traits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That suit argues that spending taxpayer money to enforce the law would violate the state’s Constitution. Jill Farrell, a Judicial Watch spokeswoman, said the case was scheduled to be heard March 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both suits name Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whose office handles corporate filings and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/women-boards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">processes the records\u003c/a> of entities that conduct business in California. Padilla has asked a judge to throw out the Judicial Watch lawsuit, saying taxpayers have not been harmed and thus have no standing to sue.

According to the accounting giant Deloitte’s \u003ca href=\"https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/risk/articles/women-in-the-boardroom-global-perspective.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most recent report\u003c/a> on the issue, released in October, women hold just 16.9% of board seats worldwide, a 1.9-point increase from 2017. Norway, with 41% of board seats held by women, the highest percentage in the world, was the first country to enact legislation requiring female representation, in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, women now hold 21.2% of the board seats at the state’s 444 largest corporations, according to \u003ca href=\"https://2020wob.com/educate2/#ourReport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 Women on Boards\u003c/a>, an education and advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. In the boardrooms of the 414 companies on the Russell 3000 lists in both 2018 and 2019, female corporate directors gained 183 seats between July 2018 and June 2019. Still, 36 of the Russell 3000 companies in California had no women on their boards as of June. The Russell 3000 tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — the Santa Barbara Democrat who wrote the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 826\u003c/a> — noted when the measure became law that a quarter of California’s publicly traded companies did not have a woman on their boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was despite the fact that women made more than 70% of buying decisions, she said, making their input “critical to discussions and decisions that affect corporate culture, actions and profitability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the legal challenges, Jackson said recently in a statement: “I certainly respect the constitutional right of anyone to challenge the law in our courts. However, I strongly believe that this measure meets constitutional requirements and will be held up in court. Significant research has shown the importance of adding women to boards to improve profitability and add to the economic well-being of the state, as well the interest of the state to advance gender equality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law itself does appear to have spurred some companies to add women to their boards. Skechers, Stamps.com and TiVo, for instance, all named women to previously all-male boards after SB 826’s passage; they and several other companies contacted for this story did not respond or issued a “no comment” to requests for interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

TIAA’s “Women on Boards” initiative, which began in 2018, targeted about 470 mid- and small-cap companies, asking that each company either add a female director or adopt a formal policy to emphasize diversity. More than one-third of the companies had added a female director by the end of the 2019 proxy season. Companies that did not cooperate faced TIAA opposition via proxy votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-running failure of some technology companies to include women on their boards helped to fuel support for the mandate.
