The moves comes a week after Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to cut grants to local governments that refuse to use local police or resources to enforce U.S. immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a rundown of the action each jurisdiction took:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County supervisors \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Santa-Clara-County-Considers-Suing-President-Trump-412355773.html\">voted unanimously to move forward\u003c/a> with a lawsuit, similar to San Francisco's, challenging Trump's order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of federal funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/la-county-approves-3m-defense-fund-for-immigrants-facing-deportation/\">joined Los Angeles\u003c/a> and other cities that are putting public funds into deportation defense funds. The City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-sets-up-300-000-fund-to-fight-10899021.php\">voted to put $300,000 \u003c/a>over the next 18 months \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">into a \"rapid response network\" made up of 12 \u003c/a>groups that will help local families facing deportations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Rosa's City Council voted to explore protecting their immigration population, possibly by becoming a sanctuary city. The vote came after people in favor of expanding immigration protections \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6610224-181/santa-rosa-to-consider-sanctuary?artslide=0\">packed the City Council chambers wearing red shirts\u003c/a>. Councilman Ernesto Olivares said he was touched seeing the group, noting he was an immigrant who arrived in the U.S. as a child: \"These people are telling me I am welcome here. Nobody has ever told me that. I mean, it's assumed, but to see it and to see it in the faces of the audience -- the majority of them did not look like me, but yet they cared enough to come to the council to speak for everybody,\" he said. \"And that's what we need to be doing, (asking), 'How do I speak for everyone and not just my own special interests or needs?' \"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Local officials said they aren't trying to pick a fight with Trump but are acting to keep their communities safe.

The moves comes a week after Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to cut grants to local governments that refuse to use local police or resources to enforce U.S. immigration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a rundown of the action each jurisdiction took:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County supervisors \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Santa-Clara-County-Considers-Suing-President-Trump-412355773.html\">voted unanimously to move forward\u003c/a> with a lawsuit, similar to San Francisco's, challenging Trump's order to strip sanctuary cities and counties of federal funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Oakland \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/la-county-approves-3m-defense-fund-for-immigrants-facing-deportation/\">joined Los Angeles\u003c/a> and other cities that are putting public funds into deportation defense funds. The City Council \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Oakland-sets-up-300-000-fund-to-fight-10899021.php\">voted to put $300,000 \u003c/a>over the next 18 months \u003ca href=\"///Users/johnmyers/Downloads/View%20Report.pdf\">into a \"rapid response network\" made up of 12 \u003c/a>groups that will help local families facing deportations.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Rosa's City Council voted to explore protecting their immigration population, possibly by becoming a sanctuary city. The vote came after people in favor of expanding immigration protections \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6610224-181/santa-rosa-to-consider-sanctuary?artslide=0\">packed the City Council chambers wearing red shirts\u003c/a>. Councilman Ernesto Olivares said he was touched seeing the group, noting he was an immigrant who arrived in the U.S. as a child: \"These people are telling me I am welcome here. Nobody has ever told me that. I mean, it's assumed, but to see it and to see it in the faces of the audience -- the majority of them did not look like me, but yet they cared enough to come to the council to speak for everybody,\" he said. \"And that's what we need to be doing, (asking), 'How do I speak for everyone and not just my own special interests or needs?' \"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Local officials said they aren't trying to pick a fight with Trump but are acting to keep their communities safe.

NPR has reported that some 900 State Department officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511851709/career-diplomats-leave-state-department-as-trump-presidency-begins\">signed a letter \u003c/a>that went viral within the agency decrying Trump’s visa and refugee ban as not making America safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the White House isn’t making the task of internal diplomacy any easier for Tillerson. White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday urged American diplomats to “get with the program” or go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dissent is ingrained in State Department culture. In fact, the American Foreign Service Association, the professional association, \u003ca href=\"http://www.afsa.org/constructive-dissent-awards\">gives awards every year for it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department’s manual says there can be no retribution for employees who use the dissent channel, and some in Congress concerned about Spicer’s comments are now looking into ways to codify those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”XEz0ChQxpUCkwX81sX1ga7j78oebjk2B”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, though, doesn’t exactly welcome dissent. While the new president is known for surrounding himself with differing factions — and even appeared to encourage his Cabinet nominees to have different points of view in their confirmation hearings — he also fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover at the Justice Department, for speaking out against and refusing to defend the travel ban. And he said he has a “running war with the media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the media seems to be the opposition party,” Trump said Wednesday, echoing his chief strategist Steve Bannon. He added, “They’re very dishonest people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the State Department, Tillerson will be hearing from diplomats who are worried about where the Trump administration is heading and whether he and Trump will overlook human rights abuses in countries where Americans want to do business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512799958/512799959\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the mood in the State Department is uneasy. The Trump administration nudged out several professional diplomats even before naming anyone to replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example is Tom Countryman, a career foreign service officer who was acting undersecretary for arms control. He was on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/01/512799958/outgoing-state-department-official-urges-colleagues-to-stay-and-serve\">NPR’s Morning Edition\u003c/a> Wednesday, where he echoed a very powerful retirement speech he gave Tuesday to the State Department. He noted that State employees proudly serve in both Republican and Democratic administrations and implied they are feeling sidelined now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have a duty,” he told the State employees. “You have a duty — to stay and give your best professional guidance, with loyalty, to the new administration, because a foreign policy without professionals is — by definition — an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices. Because that is what we do. Our work is little understood by our fellow Americans, a fact that is sometimes exploited for political purpose. When I have the opportunity to speak to audiences across this amazing land, I explain, ‘We do not have a Department of State, we do not have a foreign policy, because we love foreigners. We do it because we love Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said something that directly relates to Trump (and perhaps even Tillerson). Countryman drew a distinction between business and diplomacy, and he seemed to dispute Trump’s foundational view of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Business made America great, as it always has been,” Countryman said, “and business leaders are among our most important partners. But let’s be clear: Despite the similarities — a dog is not a cat; baseball is not football; and diplomacy is not a business. Human rights are not a business. And democracy is, most assuredly, not a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “We want Americans to prosper, to sell the world’s best food and the world’s best products everywhere in the world. We want Americans to be protected and safe when they are abroad, whether they are missionaries, tourists, students, businessmen or (for those of you who have done consular work) the occasional false Messiah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

NPR has reported that some 900 State Department officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511851709/career-diplomats-leave-state-department-as-trump-presidency-begins\">signed a letter \u003c/a>that went viral within the agency decrying Trump’s visa and refugee ban as not making America safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the White House isn’t making the task of internal diplomacy any easier for Tillerson. White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday urged American diplomats to “get with the program” or go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dissent is ingrained in State Department culture. In fact, the American Foreign Service Association, the professional association, \u003ca href=\"http://www.afsa.org/constructive-dissent-awards\">gives awards every year for it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department’s manual says there can be no retribution for employees who use the dissent channel, and some in Congress concerned about Spicer’s comments are now looking into ways to codify those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, though, doesn’t exactly welcome dissent. While the new president is known for surrounding himself with differing factions — and even appeared to encourage his Cabinet nominees to have different points of view in their confirmation hearings — he also fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover at the Justice Department, for speaking out against and refusing to defend the travel ban. And he said he has a “running war with the media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the media seems to be the opposition party,” Trump said Wednesday, echoing his chief strategist Steve Bannon. He added, “They’re very dishonest people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the State Department, Tillerson will be hearing from diplomats who are worried about where the Trump administration is heading and whether he and Trump will overlook human rights abuses in countries where Americans want to do business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512799958/512799959\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the mood in the State Department is uneasy. The Trump administration nudged out several professional diplomats even before naming anyone to replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example is Tom Countryman, a career foreign service officer who was acting undersecretary for arms control. He was on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/01/512799958/outgoing-state-department-official-urges-colleagues-to-stay-and-serve\">NPR’s Morning Edition\u003c/a> Wednesday, where he echoed a very powerful retirement speech he gave Tuesday to the State Department. He noted that State employees proudly serve in both Republican and Democratic administrations and implied they are feeling sidelined now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have a duty,” he told the State employees. “You have a duty — to stay and give your best professional guidance, with loyalty, to the new administration, because a foreign policy without professionals is — by definition — an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices. Because that is what we do. Our work is little understood by our fellow Americans, a fact that is sometimes exploited for political purpose. When I have the opportunity to speak to audiences across this amazing land, I explain, ‘We do not have a Department of State, we do not have a foreign policy, because we love foreigners. We do it because we love Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said something that directly relates to Trump (and perhaps even Tillerson). Countryman drew a distinction between business and diplomacy, and he seemed to dispute Trump’s foundational view of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Business made America great, as it always has been,” Countryman said, “and business leaders are among our most important partners. But let’s be clear: Despite the similarities — a dog is not a cat; baseball is not football; and diplomacy is not a business. Human rights are not a business. And democracy is, most assuredly, not a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “We want Americans to prosper, to sell the world’s best food and the world’s best products everywhere in the world. We want Americans to be protected and safe when they are abroad, whether they are missionaries, tourists, students, businessmen or (for those of you who have done consular work) the occasional false Messiah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California’s new attorney general, Xavier Becerra, also intends to defend state policies from erosion by federal decree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s right to set its own clean air standards dates back to the mid 1960s, when the federal Clean Air Act was written. In acknowledgement of the state’s smog crisis -- when the mountain backdrop of Los Angeles resembled a brown smudge -- California was the only state granted the ability to seek a waiver from federal regulations so that it could set stricter emission standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We needed exceptional regulations in order to meet federal standards,” Clegern said. “We have unique geography, a large population and millions of vehicles on the road of all ages and conditions. The one-size-fits-all national rule did not get us anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many instances, policies California put in place through waivers were adopted as national and even international standards. For example, the state used waivers to mandate the adoption of unleaded gasoline and to require that vehicles be fitted with catalytic converters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An engineer from China told me several years ago, ‘If it weren’t for California, we wouldn’t have catalytic converters in China,’” Pavley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pavley was in the delegation that went to Washington in 2008 to negotiate when the EPA issued its only waiver denial. She said that today California has a target on its back with the Trump administration, but the battle isn’t just about one state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t believe that Americans and other states don’t care about clean air,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This agreement is the first of a series of steps required to avert substantial\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"c0\"> climate change. The Earth’s climate is entering a state that has not been experienced in human history. Continuing to produce greenhouse gases at current rates will have catastrophic, unstoppable consequences for our environment, our economy, and our country. Bold and decisive action may still avoid the worst scenarios, allow for adaptation to the changes, mitigate the damage, and bring new economic opportunities to our country. To this end, we ask that you ensure America’s place as the global leader on climate action.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"c8\">\u003cspan class=\"c11\">With this letter, we aim to express the degree to which the scientists and intellectual leaders of our state, speaking for themselves and not on behalf of their respective employers, agree on the facts of climate change. Despite misleading portrayals, there is widespread consensus in the scientific and academic communities that human-caused climate change is real, with consequences that are already being felt.\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"c0\"> The science of how greenhouse gases trap heat is unimpeachable. Climate records are being broken as human-caused changes add onto natural oscillations (e.g., El Niño) in the climate system. Fossil records from pre-human times show much higher sea levels and a reorganization of vegetation patterns when greenhouse gases were higher and Earth’s climate was much warmer than today. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere set in motion regional variations in weather, weather extremes, the loss of major ice sheets, and declining biodiversity that has been associated with mass extinctions in Earth’s past.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"c8\">\u003cspan class=\"c0\">Scientists have warned for decades of the dangers of overreliance on fossil fuels. The world has been slow to respond and, as a result, we run an increasing risk of major damage to America’s economy and security. We have had an unusually large number of serious natural disasters in the past decade that are in line with climate change predictions. The Southeast and West suffer from increasing droughts. Miami floods at high tide as sea levels rise. Major cities on the Eastern and Gulf coasts regularly suffer major damage from violent weather. Western forests die because winters are insufficiently cold to prevent insect infestation of drought-stressed trees. Left unchecked, the frequency and severity of these climate change events will increase with time, as will their economic impact. To secure and conserve our way of life, our economy, and our environment, we need immediate action.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"c8\">\u003cspan class=\"c0\">The United States now has a unique opportunity to lead the world in developing innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By investing in and incentivizing clean energy and carbon sequestration technologies now, we position ourselves to be the economic and political leaders of the 21st century. To do otherwise cedes these opportunities to others and undermines our national security, food security, water security, and the future of our children and grandchildren. For these reasons, we ask you to maintain and increase our country’s commitment to taking action on climate change, beginning with the current Paris Climate Agreement.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"c8\">\u003cspan class=\"c11\">Signed by\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"c0\">,\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"c8\">\u003cspan class=\"c0\">2344 \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/2kNeOSa\">faculty members\u003c/a>, (as of 5 p.m. Tuesday) listed on \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/2kNeOSa\">the following pages\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Syrian refugees are banned indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move caused immediate controversy,\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/29/512304697/dispatches-of-discontent-protesters-of-immigration-ban-take-to-the-streets\"> sparking protests\u003c/a> in cities and airports around the U.S. as federal authorities began enforcing the ban, preventing\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/01/30/the-number-of-people-affected-by-trumps-travel-ban-about-90000/\"> hundreds of travelers\u003c/a> from boarding planes over the weekend. Other travelers and refugees landing in the U.S. have been detained or sent back. Federal judges quickly weighed in to issue temporary stays, and the future of the executive order will likely to be determined in court. The Trump administration has also come under criticism from scores of countries, including close allies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-poll-exclusive-idUSKBN15F2MG\">recent poll by Reuters/Ipsos\u003c/a> shows public opinion narrowly backs Trump's action, with 49 percent of Americans agreeing with the order while 41 percent disagree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR and dozens of member stations wanted to help the public understand where their lawmakers stand on the issue.

Other travelers and refugees landing in the U.S. have been detained or sent back.

He also said Democrats were simply stalling because they don't like Pruitt's views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said he didn't like that Pruitt would not definitively say whether he'd recuse himself from the lawsuit by the state of Oklahoma that he had filed as attorney general against the EPA if he were leading the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real fight could come now with Trump's nomination of a Supreme Court justice. Federal judge Neil Gorsuch will need 60 votes to clear a procedural hurdle needed for confirmation. That threshold was removed for lower court nominees and cabinet positions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Democrats boycotted the Price and Mnuchin committee votes, they did allow other panels to move ahead on Trump nominees, including Betsy DeVos for Education secretary, Rick Perry for Energy secretary and Ryan Zinke for Interior secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have delayed the final floor vote on Trump's nominee for secretary of State, but Rex Tillerson was set to be confirmed Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

She was approved 93-6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minority party, with virtually no legislative power to block Trump Cabinet nominees as was illustrated this morning, is under pressure from liberal voters to do whatever they possibly can to stop Trump's nominees from being approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats did stage another boycott against the committee vote for Trump's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, who sued the agency over Obama-era regulations as Oklahoma attorney general and has expressed skepticism about climate change. That vote was supposed to occur Wednesday morning in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP committee chairman Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., called the move \"political theater,\" and said there would not be a vote today, declining to force a vote in the way Hatch did. He also said Democrats were simply stalling because they don't like Pruitt's views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said he didn't like that Pruitt would not definitively say whether he'd recuse himself from the lawsuit by the state of Oklahoma that he had filed as attorney general against the EPA if he were leading the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real fight could come now with Trump's nomination of a Supreme Court justice. Federal judge Neil Gorsuch will need 60 votes to clear a procedural hurdle needed for confirmation. That threshold was removed for lower court nominees and cabinet positions in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Democrats boycotted the Price and Mnuchin committee votes, they did allow other panels to move ahead on Trump nominees, including Betsy DeVos for Education secretary, Rick Perry for Energy secretary and Ryan Zinke for Interior secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have delayed the final floor vote on Trump's nominee for secretary of State, but Rex Tillerson was set to be confirmed Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Tom Price to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Treasury Secretary-designate Steven Mnuchin. Committee rules require that at least one member of each party be present for a vote to proceed. If and when the committee does vote, their confirmations would still need the approval of the full Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press briefing Tuesday afternoon, White House spokesman Sean Spicer called the Democrats' actions \"outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"BKYwUOXkjbg3nYCGSibf6JmdU0uD3kSt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's unfortunate Senate Democrats remain so out of touch with the message that the American people sent this past November,\" Spicer told reporters. \"The people want change; President Trump is delivering that change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price has been under a cloud of controversy for weeks over questions about whether he properly disclosed stock trading of a biomedical company, which the congressman was able to purchase with a discount, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/rep-tom-price-got-privileged-discounted-offer-on-biomedical-stock-company-says-1485800769\">according to the Wall Street Journal\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Mnuchin, he faces more questions about his role in the foreclosure crisis as the head of OneWest Bank. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/19/510576713/trump-treasury-nominee-defends-record-of-profiting-off-foreclosure-crisis\">NPR's Yuki Noguchi reported\u003c/a> when Mnuchin testified before the committee earlier this month, he was grilled by Democrats \"for his role as CEO of a company that took over IndyMac Bank, now known as OneWest, which failed because of its bad home loans and later pushed through many controversial foreclosures, ultimately yielding massive profits for Mnuchin.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"s3hmCeXfiF9pIh9auWgffjXkSHMWVIbt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170129/trump-treasury-pick-mnuchin-misled-senate-on-foreclosures-ohio-cases-show\">Columbus Dispatch reported over the weekend\u003c/a> that Mnuchin \"flatly denied in testimony before the Senate Finance Committee that OneWest used 'robo-signing' on mortgage documents. But records show the bank utilized the questionable practice in Ohio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown said, \"We are not going to this committee today because we want the committee to regroup, get the information, have these two nominees come back in front of the committee, clarify what they lied about — I would hope they would apologize for that — and then give us the information that we all need for our states.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Finance Committee chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, opened the committee meeting by saying he was \"really disappointed\" by the Democrats' decision to boycott. \"These two nominees are going to go through regardless,\" Hatch said. \"Let's not treat people like this. I think some of this is because they just don't like the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Senate committees moved ahead on votes to approve Trump's nominees to lead the departments of Energy, Interior and Education, as well as Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hatch said he couldn't remember Republicans treating nominees from Democratic presidents this way. In response to that and other such assertions from the GOP, many Democrats are raising the fact that Republicans refused to hold hearings last year on President Barack Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. President Trump is set to announce his pick to fill that seat Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are under increasing pressure from their party's voters to obstruct the Trump administration however they can. At a demonstration led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last night in front of the Supreme Court to protest President Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees, some demonstrators said they wanted Democrats in Congress to block every Trump nominee, though they have limited power to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement on the delay, Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said, \"Until questions are answered, Democrats believe the committee should not move forward with either nomination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Tom Price to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Treasury Secretary-designate Steven Mnuchin.

But records show the bank utilized the questionable practice in Ohio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown said, \"We are not going to this committee today because we want the committee to regroup, get the information, have these two nominees come back in front of the committee, clarify what they lied about — I would hope they would apologize for that — and then give us the information that we all need for our states.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Finance Committee chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, opened the committee meeting by saying he was \"really disappointed\" by the Democrats' decision to boycott. \"These two nominees are going to go through regardless,\" Hatch said. \"Let's not treat people like this. I think some of this is because they just don't like the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Senate committees moved ahead on votes to approve Trump's nominees to lead the departments of Energy, Interior and Education, as well as Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hatch said he couldn't remember Republicans treating nominees from Democratic presidents this way. In response to that and other such assertions from the GOP, many Democrats are raising the fact that Republicans refused to hold hearings last year on President Barack Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. President Trump is set to announce his pick to fill that seat Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are under increasing pressure from their party's voters to obstruct the Trump administration however they can. At a demonstration led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last night in front of the Supreme Court to protest President Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees, some demonstrators said they wanted Democrats in Congress to block every Trump nominee, though they have limited power to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement on the delay, Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said, \"Until questions are answered, Democrats believe the committee should not move forward with either nomination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.
