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.",

If confirmed, Trump's choice would solidify the high court's conservative majority and continue the president's push to shift the federal bench to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced his choice with a prime-time address from the White House East Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers,\" Trump said of Kavanaugh. \"He is a brilliant jurist with a clear and effective writing style, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. And just like Justice Gorsuch, he excelled as a clerk for Justice Kennedy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.nsf/Content/VL+-+Judges+-+BMK\">Since 2006, Kavanaugh has served\u003c/a> on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the nation's second-most powerful court. He was appointed to that post by President George W. Bush, after serving as Bush's White House staff secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School and clerked for Kennedy in the mid-1990s. Kavanaugh later worked with independent counsel Kenneth Starr during the investigation of President Bill Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 53, Kavanaugh is relatively young. The president has said he wants a nominee who could serve on the high court for decades. He is a connected Washington insider with roots in politics and has written more than 300 opinions in the 12 years he has been on the D.C. Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to being tapped by Trump, some conservatives questioned Kavanaugh's bona fides, and he's controversial with Democrats because of his role in the Starr investigation of Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some conservatives lobbied against him, worrying that his upbringing in the suburbs of D.C. could mean he'll be the kind of justice who has disappointed conservatives before. They believe Kavanaugh is not sufficiently conservative and disagree with portions of opinions he has written relating to abortion and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promised, Trump made his pick from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/623944469/trump-says-he-will-nominate-new-supreme-court-justice-from-this-list\">a list of more than two dozen potential nominees\u003c/a> drawn up with the help of conservative legal activists at \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624416666/what-is-the-federalist-society-and-how-does-it-affect-supreme-court-picks\">the Federalist Society\u003c/a> and the Heritage Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump published a similar list during the 2016 campaign, and it was widely credited with helping him win the votes of social conservatives who otherwise might have been skeptical of a thrice-married billionaire from New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being a politician, I think people wanted to hear what some of my choices may be, and it was pretty effective,\" Trump said of the list, on the day Kennedy's retirement was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh, in brief remarks at the White House, underscored his conservative credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My judicial philosophy is straightforward,\" he said. \"A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law.

If confirmed, Trump's choice would solidify the high court's conservative majority and continue the president's push to shift the federal bench to the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced his choice with a prime-time address from the White House East Room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Throughout legal circles, he is considered a judge's judge, a true thought leader among his peers,\" Trump said of Kavanaugh. \"He is a brilliant jurist with a clear and effective writing style, universally regarded as one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time. And just like Justice Gorsuch, he excelled as a clerk for Justice Kennedy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.nsf/Content/VL+-+Judges+-+BMK\">Since 2006, Kavanaugh has served\u003c/a> on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often called the nation's second-most powerful court. He was appointed to that post by President George W. Bush, after serving as Bush's White House staff secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh graduated from Yale Law School and clerked for Kennedy in the mid-1990s.

He is a connected Washington insider with roots in politics and has written more than 300 opinions in the 12 years he has been on the D.C. Circuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to being tapped by Trump, some conservatives questioned Kavanaugh's bona fides, and he's controversial with Democrats because of his role in the Starr investigation of Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some conservatives lobbied against him, worrying that his upbringing in the suburbs of D.C. could mean he'll be the kind of justice who has disappointed conservatives before. They believe Kavanaugh is not sufficiently conservative and disagree with portions of opinions he has written relating to abortion and the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promised, Trump made his pick from \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/623944469/trump-says-he-will-nominate-new-supreme-court-justice-from-this-list\">a list of more than two dozen potential nominees\u003c/a> drawn up with the help of conservative legal activists at \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624416666/what-is-the-federalist-society-and-how-does-it-affect-supreme-court-picks\">the Federalist Society\u003c/a> and the Heritage Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump published a similar list during the 2016 campaign, and it was widely credited with helping him win the votes of social conservatives who otherwise might have been skeptical of a thrice-married billionaire from New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not being a politician, I think people wanted to hear what some of my choices may be, and it was pretty effective,\" Trump said of the list, on the day Kennedy's retirement was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kavanaugh, in brief remarks at the White House, underscored his conservative credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My judicial philosophy is straightforward,\" he said. \"A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a short list of candidates already in hand, Trump has moved quickly to select his nominee, just 12 days after Kennedy announced his retirement.

I want to bring my wife here,\" said Balawi, 38, an Uber driver who has lived in San Francisco since 2009. \"I can't go back to Yemen because there's a war.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a divided \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11677303/in-big-win-for-white-house-supreme-court-upholds-president-trumps-travel-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supreme Court upheld the federal government's ban\u003c/a> preventing the entry of most citizens from Yemen and six other nations, Balawi and other Yemeni-Americans said their only hope of bringing relatives to safety here had evaporated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am very, very sad,\" Balawi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writing for the 5-4 majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that under immigration law, the president has broad authority to suspend the entry of any foreigners if he believes that move is in the nation's interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal government maintains the travel restrictions are needed for national security because the countries targeted -- Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, as well as North Korea and Venezuela -- are unable or unwilling to provide sufficient information to verify the identity of visa applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump celebrated the court's ruling as a victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1011620271327989760\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the current travel ban went into effect last December, it has become nearly impossible for people from the impacted countries to obtain new visas, according to immigration lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consular officers may grant waivers on a case-by-case basis, if applicants meet certain \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/presidential-proclamation-archive/RevisionatoPresidentialProclamation9645.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criteria,\u003c/a> including \"undue hardship,\" if the visa is denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last six months, the U.S. has issued only about 809 waivers to citizens of the countries covered by the policy, according to an official with the U.S. Department of State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a tiny number compared to the number of people who are waiting for a visa, said Elica Vafaie, an attorney with Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen families being separated from their loved ones, people who can't get medical attention and people who are trying to come here to study,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vafaie expects more legal challenges to the administration's travel ban, as the Supreme Court remanded the issue to the lower courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We'll fight not just in the courts but through rallies,\" Vafaie said. \"There's elections coming up. There's different policy advocacy so the fight will really be inside and outside of the courtroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just hours after the court's ruling, San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safaí was the first speaker blasting the court's ruling at a gathering of immigrant advocates and their supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm here to say President Trump, we will not back down.

He's getting married next month in Yemen. He said he had been waiting for the court's ruling before submitting a visa application for his fiancee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been working on it, I have everything set,\" he said. \"But now I don't see any reason to start any processing or going through any application, because it's useless,\" he said. \"I'm disappointed.

"content": "\u003cp>Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement Wednesday, setting the stage for what promises to be an epic political battle over his replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Trump nominee is likely to be far more conservative than Kennedy, who, though appointed by President Reagan, voted with the court's liberals in some key cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy, who will turn 82 next month, made the announcement one day after the court handed down its last pending opinion for the 2017-18 term. \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4562908-Justice-Anthony-Kennedy-retirement-letter\">He said he would continue to serve until July 31 of this year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is little doubt about Kennedy's mark on history. Quite simply, he remade the face of marriage in America. More than any other justice, he was responsible for the advancement of LGBT rights. He wrote four of the court's opinions on the subject over nearly two decades, and ultimately declared marriage between two people of the same sex a fundamental right protected by the Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/06/26/417840345/supreme-court-changes-face-of-marriage-in-historic-ruling\">Kennedy said in his opinion\u003c/a>. \"In forming a marital union two people become something greater than what they once were.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a court that has become increasingly conservative, Kennedy's role has been pivotal. In 5-4 decisions, his vote has usually determined the outcome on some of the hottest legal and social issues of the day — not just gay rights, but abortion, campaign finance, gun rights, affirmative action, the war on terror and the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has pledged to nominate a replacement who will almost certainly vote differently on many of these issues, putting some landmark decisions in jeopardy — from \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> to the legalization of same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That will please and reward conservative groups that have supported him. At the same time, it will galvanize opposition among Democrats, and potentially even some moderate Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confirmation rules this time, however, will be different from the get-go. When Democrats threatened to delay \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/04/07/522902281/senate-confirms-gorsuch-to-supreme-court\">Trump's first nominee, Neil Gorsuch\u003c/a>, earlier this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/04/06/522847700/senate-pulls-nuclear-trigger-to-ease-gorsuch-confirmation\">Republicans voted to exempt Supreme Court nominations from filibusters\u003c/a>, which required a supermajority of the Senate to cut off debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this time, the president will make his choice knowing that he only needs to get a majority of the Republican-controlled Senate to approve his nominee. And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has proved adept at keeping his troops in line on judicial nominations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677626\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677626\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-240x170.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-375x266.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-520x369.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justices of the Supreme Court sit for their official group photo on June 1. Seated: Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg (left) and Anthony M. Kennedy, Chief Justice of the U.S. John G. Roberts, Associate Justices Clarence Thomas and Stephen Breyer. Standing: Associate Justices Elena Kagan (left), Samuel Alito Jr., Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch. \u003ccite>(Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, the pressure will be intense, and the stakes high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If anyone has doubts about how different the court would likely be when a centrist conservative like Kennedy is replaced by someone more hard-line, there is the example of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement in 2006. President George W. Bush chose Samuel Alito to replace O'Connor, and the effect has been profound; O'Connor has even complained privately that Alito is systematically dismantling her legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best example of that dismantling is in the area of campaign finance. O'Connor, onetime GOP leader of the Arizona Senate, voted to uphold landmark campaign finance legislation in 2003 — only to see the court reverse that decision seven years later, after Alito replaced her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While O'Connor was on the court, a majority of justices continued to support legislation that regulated campaign fundraising. But after her retirement and the Alito appointment, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122805666\">Kennedy wrote the court's 5-4 decision\u003c/a> in \u003cem>Citizens United\u003c/em>, the 2010 case that remade the way campaigns at every level are conducted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision unleashed an ever-growing flood of cash into political campaigns. It reversed a century-old understanding that had sought to prevent corruption by barring corporations, and later labor unions, from spending their general treasury funds on candidate elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kennedy, reversing that legal understanding from the early 1900s was the realization of a long-held view of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Political speech is indispensable to decision-making in a democracy,\" \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/08-205.html\">Kennedy wrote\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Citizens United\u003c/em> decision, \"and this is no less true because the speech comes from a corporation rather than an individual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, there is probably no greater example of Kennedy's approach to the law, and how it will almost certainly differ from Trump's nominee, than the question of how to interpret the Constitution: whether the Founding Fathers intended their creation as a static document, bound by the literal meaning of its words, or whether those words represent concepts of liberty to be interpreted over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2003 decision that struck down a Texas law criminalizing private homosexual conduct, Kennedy said that the Founders understood that they were writing a document for the ages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They knew time can blind us to certain truths,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/02-102.ZO.html\">he wrote\u003c/a> in \u003cem>Lawrence v. Texas\u003c/em>, \"and later generations can see that laws, once thought necessary and proper, in fact serve only to oppress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men and women on Trump's list of potential replacements disagree with that view, for the most part. They side with the late Justice Antonin Scalia and his successor, Justice Neil Gorsuch, as well as other conservatives on the Supreme Court today, who believe the nation is bound by the original intent of the Founders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his presidential campaign, in a bid for the support of social conservatives, Trump issued two lists totaling 21 names and pledged to pick his first Supreme Court nominee from those lists. He did just that in naming Justice Gorsuch to fill the open seat once occupied by Scalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People involved in that selection process say that the president intends to expand that list a bit now. He might add Judge Brett Kavanaugh from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and possibly former Solicitor General Paul Clement, a highly regarded Supreme Court advocate who served in the George W. Bush administration. Clement's main drawback in the president's mind, though, is said to be that he has no judicial track record to examine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in consideration are some of the names on the previous list: Judge Thomas Hardiman, of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, and Judge Raymond Kethledge, who serves on the 6th Circuit, which covers a large part of the Midwest. Hardiman was the runner-up last time and is known as a staunch gun rights advocate. All four are in their early 50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677628\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677628\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy (right) prepares to administer the judicial oath to Judge Neil Gorsuch during a ceremony in the Rose Garden at the White House in 2017. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

In 5-4 decisions, his vote has usually determined the outcome on some of the hottest legal and social issues of the day — not just gay rights, but abortion, campaign finance, gun rights, affirmative action, the war on terror and the death penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump has pledged to nominate a replacement who will almost certainly vote differently on many of these issues, putting some landmark decisions in jeopardy — from \u003cem>Roe v. Wade\u003c/em> to the legalization of same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That will please and reward conservative groups that have supported him. At the same time, it will galvanize opposition among Democrats, and potentially even some moderate Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confirmation rules this time, however, will be different from the get-go. When Democrats threatened to delay \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/04/07/522902281/senate-confirms-gorsuch-to-supreme-court\">Trump's first nominee, Neil Gorsuch\u003c/a>, earlier this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/04/06/522847700/senate-pulls-nuclear-trigger-to-ease-gorsuch-confirmation\">Republicans voted to exempt Supreme Court nominations from filibusters\u003c/a>, which required a supermajority of the Senate to cut off debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this time, the president will make his choice knowing that he only needs to get a majority of the Republican-controlled Senate to approve his nominee. And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has proved adept at keeping his troops in line on judicial nominations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677626\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677626\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-240x170.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-375x266.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-691148462_custom-2fd7a22f1018eb172e360a2f61d5fa7e0bbce214-s800-c85-520x369.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justices of the Supreme Court sit for their official group photo on June 1.

President George W. Bush chose Samuel Alito to replace O'Connor, and the effect has been profound; O'Connor has even complained privately that Alito is systematically dismantling her legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best example of that dismantling is in the area of campaign finance. O'Connor, onetime GOP leader of the Arizona Senate, voted to uphold landmark campaign finance legislation in 2003 — only to see the court reverse that decision seven years later, after Alito replaced her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While O'Connor was on the court, a majority of justices continued to support legislation that regulated campaign fundraising. But after her retirement and the Alito appointment, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122805666\">Kennedy wrote the court's 5-4 decision\u003c/a> in \u003cem>Citizens United\u003c/em>, the 2010 case that remade the way campaigns at every level are conducted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision unleashed an ever-growing flood of cash into political campaigns. It reversed a century-old understanding that had sought to prevent corruption by barring corporations, and later labor unions, from spending their general treasury funds on candidate elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kennedy, reversing that legal understanding from the early 1900s was the realization of a long-held view of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Political speech is indispensable to decision-making in a democracy,\" \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/08-205.html\">Kennedy wrote\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Citizens United\u003c/em> decision, \"and this is no less true because the speech comes from a corporation rather than an individual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, there is probably no greater example of Kennedy's approach to the law, and how it will almost certainly differ from Trump's nominee, than the question of how to interpret the Constitution: whether the Founding Fathers intended their creation as a static document, bound by the literal meaning of its words, or whether those words represent concepts of liberty to be interpreted over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2003 decision that struck down a Texas law criminalizing private homosexual conduct, Kennedy said that the Founders understood that they were writing a document for the ages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They knew time can blind us to certain truths,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/02-102.ZO.html\">he wrote\u003c/a> in \u003cem>Lawrence v. Texas\u003c/em>, \"and later generations can see that laws, once thought necessary and proper, in fact serve only to oppress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The men and women on Trump's list of potential replacements disagree with that view, for the most part. They side with the late Justice Antonin Scalia and his successor, Justice Neil Gorsuch, as well as other conservatives on the Supreme Court today, who believe the nation is bound by the original intent of the Founders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his presidential campaign, in a bid for the support of social conservatives, Trump issued two lists totaling 21 names and pledged to pick his first Supreme Court nominee from those lists. He did just that in naming Justice Gorsuch to fill the open seat once occupied by Scalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People involved in that selection process say that the president intends to expand that list a bit now. He might add Judge Brett Kavanaugh from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and possibly former Solicitor General Paul Clement, a highly regarded Supreme Court advocate who served in the George W. Bush administration. Clement's main drawback in the president's mind, though, is said to be that he has no judicial track record to examine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in consideration are some of the names on the previous list: Judge Thomas Hardiman, of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, and Judge Raymond Kethledge, who serves on the 6th Circuit, which covers a large part of the Midwest. Hardiman was the runner-up last time and is known as a staunch gun rights advocate. All four are in their early 50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677628\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677628\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/gettyimages-666877998_custom-bc5185ca9442f301006f062edf798afb7f6e91d6-s800-c85-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy (right) prepares to administer the judicial oath to Judge Neil Gorsuch during a ceremony in the Rose Garden at the White House in 2017. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Rarely if ever has the Court overruled a decision — let alone one of this import — with so little regard for the usual principles of \u003cem>stare decisis\u003c/em>,” that is, allowing past rulings to stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is yet another example of corporate interests using their power and influence to launch a political attack on working people and rig the rules of the economy in their own favor,” Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said in a statement when the case reached the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government workers have been a relative stronghold in an otherwise shrinking labor movement. More than a third of the public sector workforce is unionized, compared with less than 7 percent in the private sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey by the AFSCME — the union Janus would have to pay into — found that if agency fees were no longer mandatory, 15 percent of employees would stop paying them while 35 percent would continue to pay. The balance of workers were “on the fence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/\u003c/p>\n\n",

Rarely if ever has the Court overruled a decision — let alone one of this import — with so little regard for the usual principles of \u003cem>stare decisis\u003c/em>,” that is, allowing past rulings to stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is yet another example of corporate interests using their power and influence to launch a political attack on working people and rig the rules of the economy in their own favor,” Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said in a statement when the case reached the high court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government workers have been a relative stronghold in an otherwise shrinking labor movement. More than a third of the public sector workforce is unionized, compared with less than 7 percent in the private sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A survey by the AFSCME — the union Janus would have to pay into — found that if agency fees were no longer mandatory, 15 percent of employees would stop paying them while 35 percent would continue to pay. The balance of workers were “on the fence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The disclosure requirement extends to advertising, which anti-abortion pregnancy centers objected to as an attempt to “drown out” their message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second provision of the law, dealing with licensed centers, requires clinics that do not provide a full range of reproductive care, including services covered by Medicaid, to post a sign that says the state provides free or low-cost access to prenatal care, birth control and other reproductive care, including abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, the number of pregnancy centers that counsel against abortion has dramatically increased. There are about 2,700 of them across the country, more than three times the number of clinics that provide abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just as some states provide taxpayer funds for abortions, 14 states directly fund anti-abortion pregnancy centers.

The state currently strikes voters from the registration rolls if they fail to vote in two consecutive elections — and if they fail to return a mailed address confirmation form.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/10/576599104/supreme-court-hears-challenge-to-ohio-s-use-it-or-lose-it-voter-system\">challenging the law\u003c/a> said it violated the National Voting Rights Act, which says that a state cannot strike someone from the rolls for failure to vote. The emphasis is to get more people to vote — and not have them purged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion with the court's other conservatives signing on. The first line of the opinion lays out evidence for why Alito sees the need to clean up voter rolls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It has been estimated that 24 million voter registrations in the United States -- about one in eight -- are either invalid or significantly inaccurate,\" Alito writes, citing a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/uploadedfiles/pcs_assets/2012/pewupgradingvoterregistrationpdf.pdf\">Pew Center on the States study\u003c/a>. \"And about 2.75 million people are said to be registered to vote in more than one State.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the same study that incoming \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/11/29/trump-camps-repeated-use-of-dubious-sources-on-voter-fraud/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.88ad02d425b3\">Trump White House officials cited -- misleadingly \u003c/a> -- to make the case that voter fraud was occurring and immigrants in the U.S. illegally were voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some numbers include the Pew Research study that said that approximately 24 million, or one out of every eight, voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or significantly inaccurate,\" Jason Miller, then-spokesman for the president-elect, told reporters in a conference call week after the November 2016 election. \"And in that same Pew Research study, the fact that 2.5 million people have registrations in more than one state. So all of these are studies and examples of where there have been issues of voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president himself claimed that he actually won the popular vote, despite losing it by about 2.9 million votes, because of voters who voted illegally. There has never been evidence that millions are voting illegally. In fact, a five-year Bush administration study resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/25/here-are-nine-major-investigations-on-voter-fraud-that-found-virtually-nothing/?utm_term=.08d9fdbf3ff8\">86 convictions\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Help America Vote Act \"dispelled any doubt that a state removal program may use the failure to vote as a factor (but not the sole factor) in removing names from the list of registered voters,\" Alito notes. \"That is exactly what Ohio's Supplemental Process does. It does not strike any registrant solely by reason of the failure to vote.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The background\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lead plaintiff in the case, Larry Harmon, is a software engineer from the Akron area, who normally votes in presidential election years, but not the midterms. In 2012, neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney excited him, so he decided not to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he did decide to vote a couple of years later, he found he was no longer registered. He had been purged from the voter rolls, because he hadn't voted in the previous two elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Failure to vote is not unusual in this country. In 2016, 29 percent of the registered voters in Ohio failed to vote. Nationwide, the number was even higher, more than a third, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eac.gov/assets/1/6/2016_EAVS_Comprehensive_Report.pdf\">according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read the decision here: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

So all of these are studies and examples of where there have been issues of voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president himself claimed that he actually won the popular vote, despite losing it by about 2.9 million votes, because of voters who voted illegally. There has never been evidence that millions are voting illegally. In fact, a five-year Bush administration study resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/01/25/here-are-nine-major-investigations-on-voter-fraud-that-found-virtually-nothing/?utm_term=.08d9fdbf3ff8\">86 convictions\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Help America Vote Act \"dispelled any doubt that a state removal program may use the failure to vote as a factor (but not the sole factor) in removing names from the list of registered voters,\" Alito notes. \"That is exactly what Ohio's Supplemental Process does.

He had been purged from the voter rolls, because he hadn't voted in the previous two elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Failure to vote is not unusual in this country. In 2016, 29 percent of the registered voters in Ohio failed to vote.

Problems repeatedly arose for those defending the statute. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potential swing justice in this case, said the law in certain circumstances would seem to impose an undue burden. He cited a hypothetical example of a billboard in Los Angeles with the words \"Choose Life.\" He asked the lawyer for the state if it was paid for by an unlicensed facility if it would have to say so in large font and in multiple languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyer for the state said that it would. For Kennedy, that seemed to be too much.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What this case is about\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The case Tuesday pitted the right to know against the right of free speech. On one side are self-identified \"crisis pregnancy centers\" that seek to prevent abortions, and on the other side is the state of California, which enacted a law to ensure that these centers do not intentionally or unintentionally mislead the women who walk through their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the California law call the state's effort nothing more than seeking \"truth in advertising.\" But anti-abortion pregnancy centers see the law as unconstitutional, compelling speech that turns them into mouthpieces for a government message they disagree with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passions run high when it comes to abortion.

(It stands for Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impetus was two-fold -- first, allegations that pregnancy centers opposed to abortion were using deceptive practices; and second, concern that lower-income women, in particular, weren't aware of the free pregnancy-related services California provides, from pre-natal and delivery care to birth control and abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FACT Act requires unlicensed crisis pregnancy centers to post a sign or otherwise disclose to their clients in writing that the center is not a licensed medical facility and has no licensed medical provider who supervises the provision of services.

But what they're trying to do instead is lure women in on false pretenses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, the number of pregnancy centers that counsel against abortion has dramatically increased. Today there are about 2,700 of them around the country, more than three times the number of clinics that provide abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And just as some states provide taxpayer funds for abortions, 14 states directly fund anti-abortion pregnancy centers. From 2001 to 2006, the centers received an estimated $30 million in federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no data on how many of the 2,700 anti-abortion pregnancy centers are unlicensed. But unlicensed clinics offer pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, and, to an unskeptical eye, they can look very much like a licensed medical facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The personnel wear surgical scrubs or white coats and ask clients to fill out medical history questionnaires.

At a recent Care Net conference, he advised the centers on how to use search engines to identify key words for their marketing and websites, the object being to attract women searching online for an abortion clinic to an anti-abortion pregnancy center instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know 'abortion pill' is something people are searching,\" he said. \"'Abortion clinic,' 'abortion clinic near me,' 'abortion cost,'\" Hall said. \"Fantastic key words if those phrases are on your website.

Just say, 'we're here to talk to you about abortion, including abortion pills and abortion surgery.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same conference, Jana Pinson, director of a crisis pregnancy center in Texas, said she had great success with the term, \"planning parenthood.\" Though her clinic opposes abortion, she changed her website tag to 'The Number One Source of Abortion Information in the Coastal Bend,' \"because we are,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Fisher, of Human Coalition, another group that helps anti-abortion clinics, has also advocated using these tactics to attract women seeking an abortion in hopes of derailing their plans.

For an example of those, NIFLA, which is challenging the California law, referred us to \"Informed Choices,\" a licensed clinic in Gilroy, California, that has a staff of five, including two nurses, plus a volunteer OB-GYN who supervises medical procedures, and 20 other volunteers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christine Vatuone, the executive director, said that while the clinic does oppose abortion, and will not refer patients to an abortion provider, all patients are clearly told that they have three options: abortion, adoption and parenting -- and that every room in the center has a sign with five promises: \"that we will treat them with respect, that we will protect their privacy, that we will not pressure them, that we will support them, and that we will not lie to them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still there is room for confusion about the clinic.

Problems repeatedly arose for those defending the statute. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potential swing justice in this case, said the law in certain circumstances would seem to impose an undue burden. He cited a hypothetical example of a billboard in Los Angeles with the words \"Choose Life.\" He asked the lawyer for the state if it was paid for by an unlicensed facility if it would have to say so in large font and in multiple languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyer for the state said that it would. For Kennedy, that seemed to be too much.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What this case is about\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The case Tuesday pitted the right to know against the right of free speech. On one side are self-identified \"crisis pregnancy centers\" that seek to prevent abortions, and on the other side is the state of California, which enacted a law to ensure that these centers do not intentionally or unintentionally mislead the women who walk through their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
