DONALD TRUMP seems to enjoy publicly humiliating people, especially those in his power. There was the Venezuelan beauty queen, Alicia Machado, he nicknamed “Miss Piggy” and made to work out in front of a pack of male journalists. There is Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, one of the first senior Republicans to endorse Mr Trump, who the president repaid by cracking fat jokes at his expense and passing over him for cabinet appointment. But no Trump hireling has been more ridiculed, by the president and at times, it has seemed, half of America, than the chief White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, who, despairing of his treatment, abruptly resigned on July 21st.
However many millions of dollars Mr Spicer is about to make off the back of his six-month spell as Mr Trump's official mouthpiece, it may not be enough. After just six months in Mr Trump’s service, Mr Spicer’s reputation is in pieces. Formerly a respected press chief at the Republican National Committee, he was dispatched by the president, on his debut...Continue reading
SHORTLY after winning election as governor of California in 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger watched leaders from the state legislature stage a spittle-flecked, chair-toppling fight in his office. “I don’t know if the drama was meant for me because I was new,” he recalls in an interview, miming open-mouthed astonishment. A bigger shock came hours later. Two of the combatants, one a Republican, the other a Democrat, telephoned him from a bar. Sure, we fight about things in the daytime, the pair told the governor, a Republican who won as an action-man outsider in a Democratic state. But with night falling the party bosses wanted Mr Schwarzenegger to know their shared view of his proposal to have electoral districts drawn by an independent panel, rather than by politicians. A “horrible” idea that would cost incumbent members their seats, they growled. “Just kill this,” he remembers hearing.
It took Mr Schwarzenegger and allies several attempts to outwit California’s political...Continue reading
OVER the weekend, the Department of Justice and opponents of Donald Trump’s travel ban filed nearly 100 pages of briefs to the Supreme Court regarding the scope of the justices’ ruling of June 26th permitting the president’s executive order to take partial effect. On July 19th, the justices responded with a curt, 64-word order giving something to each side. But they were again tight-lipped as to why, exactly, they had reached that decision. With the restrictions now in place on refugees and on travellers from six Muslim-majority countries, the Supreme Court has inserted itself into the details of Mr Trump’s travel ban without saying a word about its legality—or even explaining why it barred the government from applying the rules to foreigners who have a “bona fide relationship” with people or entities in America.
So what exactly did the justices do on July 19th? Three things. First, they denied Mr Trump’s lawyers’ request for...Continue reading
VOTING to extend California’s cap-and-trade programme an extra decade to 2030 was a tough decision for Devon Mathis, a Republican assemblyman who represents a large swathe of the state’s fertile Central Valley. Though once embraced by Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, cap-and-trade schemes have come to be seen by Republicans as exemplifying government overreach. On the other hand, agricultural business owners in Mr Mathis’s district flooded him with letters in support of cap-and-trade, which they thought would be better than the state’s alternative plans for reducing CO{-2} emissions. Mr Mathis was so torn about the choice he sought out his pastor to pray about it. On July 17th when the vote was held, he opted to support the extension.
Cap-and-trade programmes work by setting a limit (or cap) on how much CO{-2} individual companies can emit. Businesses that pollute less than the cap can sell (or trade) their excess...Continue reading
“SPRECHEN Sie Deutsch?” asks Kris Kobach. Sitting at his office desk surrounded by family photos of his wife and five daughters, the Kansas secretary of state explains (in German) that he picked up the language when conducting research on the influence of referendums on Switzerland’s political system for a thesis at Britain’s Oxford University in the late 1980s. Mr Kobach became interested in electoral law during his Swiss research, an interest which subsequently developed into a fixation with voter fraud. He is also, after successfully lobbying Kansas’s governor to change the rules, the only secretary of state in the land with the power to prosecute people for it.
Mr Kobach’s other favourite topic is illegal immigration, which he became interested in at Yale Law School. An avid debater, he joined a panel on California’s Proposition 187, a ballot initiative passed in 1994 denying government services to illegal immigrants. Mr Kobach fervently defended Prop 187, caring little...Continue reading
