LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

July 17, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

A year ago tonight, Georgia Representative John Lewis passed away from pancreatic cancer at 80 years old. As a young adult, Lewis was a “troublemaker,” breaking the laws of his state: the laws upholding racial segregation. He organized voting registration drives and in 1960 was one of the thirteen original Freedom Riders, white and Black students traveling together from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans to challenge segregation. “It was very violent. I thought I was going to die. I was left lying at the Greyhound bus station in Montgomery unconscious,” Lewis later recalled.

An adherent of the philosophy of nonviolence, Lewis was beaten by mobs and arrested 24 times. As chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC—pronounced “snick”), he helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington where the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., told more than 200,000 people gathered at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial that he had a dream. Just 23 years old, Lewis spoke at the march. Two years later, as Lewis and 600 marchers hoping to register African American voters in Alabama stopped to pray at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, mounted police troopers charged the marchers, beating them with clubs and bullwhips. They fractured Lewis’s skull.

To observers in 1965 reading the newspapers, Lewis was simply one of the lawbreaking protesters who were disrupting the “peace” of the South. But what seemed to be fruitless and dangerous protests were, in fact, changing minds. Shortly after the attack in Selma, President Lyndon Baines Johnson honored those changing ideas when he went on TV to support the marchers and call for Congress to pass a national voting rights bill. On August 6, 1965, Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act authorizing federal supervision of voter registration in districts where African Americans were historically underrepresented.

When Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, just 6.7 percent of Black voters in Mississippi were registered to vote. Two years later, almost 60% of them were. In 1986, those new Black voters helped to elect Lewis to Congress. He held the seat until he died, winning reelection 16 times.

Now, just a year after Representative Lewis’s death, the voting rights for which he fought are under greater threat than they have been since 1965. After the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision of the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act by taking away Department of Justice supervision of election changes in states with a history of racial discrimination, Republican-dominated state legislatures began to enact measures that would cut down on minority voting.

At Representative Lewis’s funeral, former President Barack Obama called for renewing the Voting Rights Act. "You want to honor John?” he said. “Let's honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for.” Instead, after the 2020 election, Republican-dominated legislatures ramped up their effort to skew the vote in their favor by limiting access to the ballot. As of mid-June 2021, 17 states had passed 28 laws making it harder to vote, while more bills continue to move forward.

Then, on July 1, by a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court handed down Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, saying that the state of Arizona did not violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act when it passed laws that limited ballot delivery to voters, family members, or caregivers, or when it required election officials to throw out ballots that voters had cast in the wrong precincts by accident.

The fact that voting restrictions affect racial or ethnic groups differently does not make them illegal, Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “The mere fact that there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote.”

Justice Elena Kagan wrote a blistering dissent, in which Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor joined. “If a single statute represents the best of America, it is the Voting Rights Act,” Kagan wrote, “It marries two great ideals: democracy and racial equality. And it dedicates our country to carrying them out.” She explained, “The Voting Rights Act is ambitious, in both goal and scope. When President Lyndon Johnson sent the bill to Congress, ten days after John Lewis led marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, he explained that it was “carefully drafted to meet its objective—the end of discrimination in voting in America.” It gave every citizen “the right to an equal opportunity to vote.”

“Much of the Voting Rights Act’s success lay in its capacity to meet ever-new forms of discrimination,” Kagan wrote. Those interested in suppressing the vote have always offered “a non-racial rationalization” even for laws that were purposefully discriminatory. Poll taxes, elaborate registration regulations, and early poll closings were all designed to limit who could vote but were defended as ways to prevent fraud and corruption, even when there was no evidence that fraud or corruption was a problem. Kagan noted that the Arizona law permitting the state to throw out ballots cast in the wrong precinct invalidated twice as many ballots cast by Indigenous Americans, Black Americans, and Hispanic Americans as by whites.

“The majority’s opinion mostly inhabits a law-free zone,” she wrote.

Congress has been slow to protect voting rights. Although it renewed the Voting Rights Act by an overwhelming majority in 2006, that impulse has disappeared. In March 2021, the House of Representatives passed the For the People Act on which Representative Lewis had worked, a sweeping measure that protects the right to vote, removes dark money from politics, and ends partisan gerrymandering. Republicans in the Senate killed the bill, and Democrats were unwilling to break the filibuster to pass it alone.

An attempt simply to restore the provision of the Voting Rights Act gutted in 2013 has not yet been introduced, although it has been named: the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Only one Republican, Alaska senator Lisa Murkowski, has signed on to the bill.

Yesterday, the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Joyce Beatty (D-OH), was arrested with eight other protesters in the Hart Senate Office Building for demanding legislation to protect voting rights.

After her arrest, Beatty tweeted: “You can arrest me. You can’t stop me. You can’t silence me.”

Last June, Representative Lewis told Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart that he was “inspired” by last summer’s peaceful protests in America and around the world against police violence. “It was so moving and so gratifying to see people from all over America and all over the world saying through their action, ‘I can do something. I can say something,’” Lewis told Capehart. “And they said something by marching and by speaking up and speaking out.”

Capehart asked Lewis “what he would say to people who feel as though they have already been giving it their all but nothing seems to change.” Lewis answered: “You must be able and prepared to give until you cannot give any more. We must use our time and our space on this little planet that we call Earth to make a lasting contribution, to leave it a little better than we found it, and now that need is greater than ever before.”

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair,” Lewis tweeted almost exactly a year before his death. “Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way.”

Political Calculation in Ginsburg’s Death

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Sept. 19, 2020.--When 87-year-old Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg [RBG] passed away yesterday from pancreatic cancer, no one imagined all the repercussions to follow before she’s laid to rest. While thousands of her admirers lit candles and laid flowed on the steps of the Supreme Court, 74-year-old President Donald Trump and 78-year old Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) were busy dealing with the political fallout, especially if there’s a backlash for pushing a nominee through before the Nov. 3 election. But unlike four years ago when McConnell would not consider former President Barack Obama’s pick 67-yar-old D.C. Court of Appeals Chief Judge Merrick Garland, times have changed. McConnell pointed out that it’s different today because the GOP controlled the presidency and the Senate, where in 2016 Democrats controlled the House and White House.

Getting a new nominee approved would require 51 votes in the Senate, a simple majority, not as easy as Trump or McConnell hoped, given opposition from 67-year-old Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and 63-year Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), both of whom stated they oppose approving a nominee this close to an election. With Democrats holding 47 Senate seats, Republicans can only lose three with 61-year-old Vice President Mike Pence casting the tie-breaking vote. Whether Collins and Murkowski jump ship and oppose moving a nominee forward before the election is anyone’s guess. Both have been on record opposing the process. But times have changed, with 72-year-old former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urging 77-year-old former Vice President Joe Biden to not concede no matter what. “Joe Biden should not conceded under any circumstances . . . “ Hillary said Aug.. 26.

Biden announced Sept. 16 that Democrats are assembling an army of election law attorneys led by former Obama Atty. Gen. Eric Holder to fight any protracted result on Nov. 3. With legal challenges like that, Trump, McConnell and the Republican Party have no choice but to move ahead with a nominee in the time before the election. Without restoring the court of a nine-members, there’s a distinct possibility that the court could hang four-to-four, unable to render a verdict on the election’s outcome should it be contested. Judging by what Hillary said, there will be a dispute, telling Biden to not concede “under any circumstances.” With the possibility of a constitutional crisis, Collins and Murkowski may have to recalculate their initial decision to oppose a nominee before the Nov. 3 election. Without a nine-member court, the nation could face a constitutional crisis after the election

Trump’s best argument for nominating Ginsburg’s replacement in a timely manner has to do with Democrats’ open pledge to fight the outcome of any election result. Without a nine-member court, the High Court could be hopelessly deadlocked, hurting U.S. national security. There’s simply no way in a contested election without resolution in the courts that the U.S. can proceed in an orderly manner. Sen.. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he would not bring a nominee to the Judiciary committee so close to an election. But with all the new constitutional concerns, Grassley would likely support Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham’s (R-N.C.) decision to process a replacement for RBG at the earliest possible time. Hillary’s public remarks, and, most importantly, her ongoing clout in the Democrat Party, makes Trump’s decision to nominate a replacement an urgent matter.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted McConnell for suggesting he’d deviate from his position blocking Obama from processing a nominee in 2016. But as McConnell explained, it’s an entirely different situation today, with a Republican president and Republican Senate. More importantly than that are Democrats stated warnings that they will not accept the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, assembling an army of attorneys to fight the result. “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell said Feb. 12, 2016, hours after Associate Justice Antonin Scalia died. Comments by Hillary and Joe force Trump’s hand to appoint Ginsburg’s replacement. All arguments about what happened four years ago are superseded by Democrat threats.

In more predictable times, Trump and McConnell should let the people and next president choose the next Supreme Court Associate Justice. But based on Hillary telling Democrats that Biden should not concede “under any circumstances” and Joe assembling an army of attorneys to fight the outcome if Joe loses, Trump and McConnell have no choice but to move swiftly to confirm Ginsburg’s replacement. Republicans that once agreed in principle that Supreme Court picks should be deferred to the next president, no longer applies now that a Battle Royale has been set up to contest the Nov. 3 election. “The most difficult months in a generation are now upon us. Pray that God protect out country and provide wisdom to our people,” said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) fearing that street unrest could get much worse before the election. Democrats pushed the GOP to take a hard line.

By Kimberly Bradley * 20 September 2016

Pleading… or challenging? In her portraits, it’s difficult to read what might have been going on behind the limpid, dark eyes of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the only women that fin de siècle Austrian artist Gustav Klimt portrayed not once, but twice. But this is clearly a woman of depth and mystery. In a new exhibition Klimt and the Women of Vienna’s Golden Age at New York’s Neue Galerie, both portraits – the iconic, long-controversial Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) and the lesser-known but no less stunning Adele Bloch-Bauer II(1912) – will be shown together for the first time in more than a decade.

The exhibition includes portraits of other women, but Adele remains the most iconic. It is she, as a ‘woman in gold’, who anchors the works that represent the apex of Klimt’s ‘golden phase’. (Speculation is, too, that she is the half-nude figure in Klimt’s Judith and the Head of Holofernes, and possibly the closed-eyed, blissed-out woman in The Kiss.) It is she who embodies both the vulnerability and strength of women in turn-of-the-century Vienna, a society in profound transition.

In postwar Vienna her image became a symbol of Austrian culture – Adele Bloch-Bauer I was long called ‘the Austrian Mona Lisa’. The painting later became an icon of justice – the 2015 film Woman in Gold is the Hollywood version of the tale of the painting’s confiscation from the Jewish Bloch-Bauer family during World War Two and the long but ultimately successful struggle for restitution by Bloch-Bauer’s niece Maria Altmann. Over the past century, many viewers have asked: who was Adele Bloch-Bauer?

‘Symphony in gold’

Bloch-Bauer was born Adele Bauer in Vienna in 1881. The daughter of a bank and railway director, she led a privileged, cultured childhood; at 19, she married Ferdinand Bloch, a sugar magnate 17 years her senior. Ferdinand adored the young woman, enough to make her last name part of his own. (Both became Bloch-Bauers; their siblings married each other, too, making for two couples with the same hyphenated last name.) The family were avid art patrons, not only collecting but also commissioning paintings – and the maverick, kaftan-clad Gustav Klimt was one of their favorite artists.

The first portrait of Adele was originally discussed in a letter the then 22-year-old wrote to Klimt in 1903. Ferdinand commissioned it as a gift for Adele’s parents’ anniversary a few years after Klimt co-founded the Vienna Secession, and not long after his scandalous, allegedly pornographic murals saw the University of Vienna blacklist the painter from state commissions.

Adele Bloch-Bauer I was first publicly displayed in 1907: a stunning scene in oil and gold leaf; it shows a flushed, bare-shouldered Adele in a stylised throne, gazing at the viewer with both vulnerability and pride, her hands oddly clasped in the foreground – one of her fingers was deformed, which she often attempted to conceal in her many sittings with the artist, who created some 200 studies for the portrait. The painting’s background is a lush riot of glittering Oriental and erotic symbolism – triangles, eyes, eggs. “The golden image of Adele Bloch-Bauer I cast a spell over me even as an art history student,” says Tobias Natter, a Vienna-based historian and curator of the Neue Galerie exhibition. “For me it’s a symphony in gold, a unique emblematic triumph.” It is considered an Art Nouveau masterpiece.

The later painting is a dramatic departure: “How could Klimt have evolved from the first painting?” asks Natter. “With Adele Bloch-Bauer IIfive years later, he does something completely diffferent, an enormous stylistic evolution is clear.” The painting shows the raven-haired Adele in a wide-brimmed black hat standing majestically, frontally facing the viewer; the background a tableau of brightly colored patterned wallpaper. “What excites me about this image is the renewal through the power of colour.

All that glitters

Here, Bloch-Bauer is very much the grande dame, but her eyes reveal a more mature melancholy. Despite privilege, life hadn’t always been kind to her. Altmann, who died in 2011, remembered her aunt as a “rather cold, intellectual woman who was very politically aware and became a socialist. She wasn't happy. It was an arranged marriage but she was childless, after two miscarriages and the death of a baby. I remember her as extremely elegant, tall, dark and thin. She always wore a slinky white dress and used a long, gold cigarette holder.”

Gustav Klimt’s women exuded not only a profound eroticism, but also strength and confidence. Critics and art historians over the decades have dubbed Klimt art’s “Frauenversteher” – “understander of women,” and many speculated that Adele and Klimt had an ongoing affair. It was never confirmed. In his paintings, Bloch-Bauer always appears sovereign, grand, even exalted.

In at least one area of her life, she very much was. Like others depicted in the Neue Galerie exhibition, she belonged to a largely Jewish bourgeoisie – whose women wielded considerable social and intellectual power through hosting salons. One Berta Zuckerkandl, for example, was of slightly lower social stature but was known as ‘the puppeteer of the Viennese cultural scene’ for all the connections she made, including introducing Klimt to Auguste Rodin; the Secession was apparently conceived over conversations in her living room. Many society women, like Szeréna Lederer (who, over 40 years, amassed the largest collection of Klimt in private hands at the time) and her daughter Elisabeth, appeared in Klimt portraits; the artist began to focus entirely on women as subjects after 1900.

Bloch-Bauer’s weekly salons were frequented by the likes of composers Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss; author Stefan Zweig was also a visitor. Later, her doctor Julius Tandler – who was also a politician, advocating for social housing and the Austrian welfare state – influenced her toward social reform and women’s suffrage. The Neue Galerie exhibition not only focusses on the shifting roles of women at the time but also on the importance of fashion and design in not only Klimt’s work but in a ‘modern’ Austrian woman’s life. For the many drawn studies for Adele Bloch-Bauer I, Bloch-Bauer posed in stunningly pleated – but completely uncorseted, loose, and flowing – ‘reform’ dresses, at the time worn by bourgeouis women with progressive tendencies.

Bloch-Bauer died of meningitis in 1925, at only 43. Fate perhaps mercifully allowed her to miss the dark years that would descend upon Austria in the 1930s; after her death, her room became a kind of shrine to Klimt’s vision of her. After Austria was annexed by the National Socialists in 1938, the Bloch-Bauers’ art – numerous drawings by Klimt, several landscapes, of course the images of Adele – was confiscated and fell into ownership limbo until both portraits came to hang in Vienna’s illustrious Belvedere museum in the postwar years. There they would stay until 2006, when, after a long and drawn out series of court decisions, the paintings were returned to Altmann, the last surviving direct relative of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer.

Overwhelmed by prohibitive insurance and storage costs, Altmann sold Adele Bloch-Bauer I to Ronald Lauder – heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire, and founder and director of the Neue Galerie – with the stipulation that it must always be on view; the later painting was sold at Christie’s in 2006, and is currently part of a special loan to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “It’s not easy to borrow the second painting,” says Natter, explaining the infrequency of the two Adeles being shown together.

In April 2016, the new neighborhood currently under construction around Vienna’s main train station got a new street: Bloch-Bauer Promenade, named after both Adele and Ferdinand. Austria “very much misses” the paintings, especially Adele Bloch-Bauer I, says Natter. But now they “belong to the whole world.”

(MINNEAPOLIS) — A majority of the members of the Minneapolis City Council said Sunday they support disbanding the city’s police department, an aggressive stance that comes just as the state has launched a civil rights investigation after George Floyd’s death.

Nine of the council’s 12 members appeared with activists at a rally in a city park Sunday afternoon and vowed to end policing as the city currently knows it. Council member Jeremiah Ellison promised that the council would “dismantle” the department.

“It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe,” Lisa Bender, the council president, said. “Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”

Bender went on to say she and the eight other council members that joined the rally are committed to ending the city’s relationship with the police force and “to end policing as we know it and recreate systems that actually keep us safe.”

Floyd, a handcuffed black man, died May 25 after a white officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck, ignoring his “I can’t breathe” cries and holding it there even after Floyd stopped moving. His death sparked protests — some violent, many peaceful — that spread nationwide.

Community activists have criticized the Minneapolis department for years for what they say is a racist and brutal culture that resists change. The state of Minnesota launched a civil rights investigation of the department last week, and the first concrete changes came Friday in a stipulated agreement in which the city agreed to ban chokeholds and neck restraints.

A more complete remaking of the department is likely to unfold in coming months.

Disbanding an entire department has happened before. In 2012, with crime rampant in Camden, New Jersey, the city disbanded its police department and replaced it with a new force that covered Camden County. Compton, California, took the same step in 2000, shifting its policing to Los Angeles County.

It was a step that then-Attorney General Eric Holder said the Justice Department was considering for Ferguson, Missouri, after the death of Michael Brown. The city eventually reached an agreement short of that but one that required massive reforms overseen by a court-appointed mediator.

The move to defund or abolish the Minneapolis department is far from assured, with the civil rights investigation likely to unfold over the next several months.

On Saturday, activists for defunding the department staged a protest outside Mayor Jacob Frey’s home. Frey came out to talk with them.

“I have been coming to grips with my own responsibility, my own failure in this,” Frey said. When pressed on whether he supported their demands, Frey said: “I do not support the full abolition of the police department.”

He left to booing.

At another march Saturday during which leaders called for defunding the department, Verbena Dempster said she supported the idea.

“I think, honestly, we’re too far past” the chance for reform, Dempster told Minnesota Public Radio. “We just have to take down the whole system.”

In 2007, Reginald Lane shot and killed Jwonda Thurston, his pregnant girlfriend. For the murder, he was sentenced to life in prison, following state statute for someone who is found guilty of killing “more than one victim.”

On Thursday, the Illinois Supreme Court heard arguments in Lane’s case, specifically around whether Lane was given the appropriate sentence. Lane’s appeal hinges, in part, on whether Thurston’s unborn child can be considered a “victim” of the murder and, more broadly, whether it can be considered an “individual” under the law.

“As it stands now, the unified code of corrections defines a victim as any natural person who suffered direct harm,” Talon Nouri, an attorney representing Lane, told the Justices. “And again, the statute on statutes notes that whenever the word ‘person’ or ‘individual’ is used, that person must have first been born alive.”

Nouri also cited the state’s Reproductive Health Act, a 2019 law that, among other things, stipulates fetuses do not have independent rights in the state of Illinois.

In addition to the question of what constitutes a “victim” under state law, Nouri also argued Lane’s sentence was inappropriately applied because the lower courts had sentenced Lane in alignment with the sentence for a double murder.

Lane was convicted of both first-degree murder and killing an unborn child – also called feticide – which are two distinct crimes.

“While the penalty section of the ‘intentional homicide of an unborn child’ statute states that the sentence shall be the same as for first degree murder, the relevant statutes and definitions unambiguously exclude intentional homicide of an unborn child from this double murder sentencing statute,” Nouri told the court.

Assistant Attorney General Josh Schneider, who argued the case on behalf of the state, relied on the statute’s language identifying the sentence for feticide as being the same as murder.

“When a person is convicted of intentional homicide of an unborn child, the sentence they receive for that offense is the same sentence they would receive if they had been convicted of first-degree murder under those same circumstances,” Schneider said.

Several Justices interrogated that line of reasoning.

“So we really don’t even need to go to these definitions in the other statutes because the legislature has directed us to apply the same sentence as in murder?” Justice Lisa Holder White asked of Schneider.

“That’s exactly right,” Schneider replied.

The Justices took the matter under consideration with a ruling to come at a later, unspecified date.

STOP AND FRISK

The justices on Thursday also considered the case of Francisco Lozano.

In 2018, Lozano was the subject of a “Terry stop,” sometimes also known as a “stop and frisk” or “field interview” in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood.

From their unmarked police car, two officers noticed Lozano running on a rainy afternoon with his hands in his pockets. After turning their car around, officers saw him run up the stairs of an abandoned apartment building before stopping him and finding that he had a car radio, two screwdrivers and a wallet.

As a result of this stop, Lozano was eventually found guilty of burglary to a vehicle and possession of burglary tools.

Lozano’s lawyer, Pamela Rubeo, argued the police violated Lozano’s 4th Amendment right against unlawful search and seizure by stopping him for “running in the rain.”

“The parties agree the officers needed reasonable suspicion of criminal activity at the inception of this stop,” Rubeo told the court. “Here, no such reasonable suspicion existed.”

Assistant Attorney General Jalan Jaskot, who argued on behalf of the state, told the Justices that police had reasonable suspicion by the time they stopped Lozano, citing the behavior that police observed as they approached Lozano for the stop.

This received some pushback from Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, who referenced the lower court’s opinion on the case.

“According to the officer’s own testimony, the reason why he stopped him was to conduct a field interview and ask him why he was running,” Theis noted during oral arguments. “Why shouldn’t we just accept that was the basis of the stop – as the officer himself described – and evaluate whether that was an appropriate Terry stop?”

Jaskot responded that the officers saw Lozano “flee” to the abandoned building when they turned their car around and that while they were approaching, they saw a “bulge” in Lozano’s front sweatshirt pocket, giving them reasonable suspicion for a Terry stop.

“If the facts of this case were simply that the defendant was running in the rain, officers would not have the reasonable suspicion to conduct that Terry stop,” Jaskot said after further questioning on the subject from the Justices. “However that is not all that we have. Very importantly, we also have the defendant’s evasive behavior where he did change that direction and run towards this building that appeared abandoned.”

Rubeo also argued that some evidence in Lozano’s trial was inappropriately introduced, as it was taken from statements Lozano gave during his arrest, without being given a “Miranda warning,” a set of notifications police are required to give people they arrest. These notifications include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney and the warning that anything a defendant says can be used against them in court, among other things.

In their court filing, the attorney general’s office argued that Lozano forfeited the chance to suppress the statements he made before being given a Miranda warning because his lawyers failed to bring it up in his trial.

The case will also be considered by the Justices, although there is not a set timeline for how long they will take to deliver a final opinion.

‘RIDING THE CIRCUIT’

The Justices did not hear arguments for these cases at their typical venue at the Supreme Court’s building in Springfield. Rather, the court was “riding the circuit” and heard arguments on the campus of Chicago State University on Chicago’s South Side.

The court uses a version of the historical practice of judges traveling to district courts to “raise public awareness and confidence in the judicial branch,” according to Theis.

It’s a practice that had been temporarily stalled in recent years amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The court held a virtual “riding the circuit” program in 2021 in conjunction with schools from the state’s Second Judicial District in northern Illinois. The court’s previous in-person road trip took place in Sept. 2019 when arguments were heard at Lewis & Clark Community College in Godfrey.

“It is the first time in our history of this court and our state that we have come to the First District here in Chicago,” Theis told attendees of the arguments on Thursday.

Around 300 students from schools around the region attended the event. Following the oral arguments, students participated in a question-and-answer session with representatives of the Cook County Bar Association.

Segregating public schools by race has been, at least effectively speaking, illegal since the Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education 67 years ago. Oh, there were knock-down-drag-out fights to make it happen, especially in the Deep South, and an argument can be made that what you might call perfect integration of public schools has never completely been achieved. But the law made by that Supreme Court decision has never changed.

What we have seen recently from the Republican Party leads me to believe that segregation is not behind us, either legally or practically. I think the Republican Party, as it is currently constituted, would be perfectly happy with making segregation legal again. Up is down with these fools. Why wouldn’t they attempt to return segregation as the law of the land?

Look at what they’re doing today with the bipartisan commission to investigate the assault on the Capitol that will soon come to a vote. They don’t just want to sweep the whole thing under the rug. They are denying not only that Donald Trump instigated the assault on the Capitol, but that the insurrection happened at all.

Mitch McConnell took to the floor of the Senate this morning to announce that he will oppose formation of a commission to investigate what he called “the events of January 6.” Kevin McCarthy came out yesterday with his opposition to the commission. Republican senators who only yesterday had announced that they supported a bipartisan commission are today saying they will vote against it. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina is one. Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas is another. Both men supported the commission to investigate the assault on the Capitol less than 24 hours ago. Today they are both opposed.

The Republican Party is prepared to do literally anything they think they can get away with. They are going to attempt to go into the mid-term elections next year denying that their party, or the man who they recognize as their party leader, had anything to do with the attack on the Capitol, or with attempting to stop the certification of the ballots of the electoral college. They are engaged in a massive campaign of voter suppression in a naked attempt to make it more difficult for Black and other minority citizens to vote. They’re not even trying to hide it. Their intentions are right out in the open.

So is their racism. For some reason, I was thinking about Jesse Helms the other day. A senator from North Carolina for 20 years, from 1973 to 2003, he was a figure of derision practically everywhere in this country except his own state, and even within the state of North Carolina, he faced stiff opposition. He won his last two campaigns for reelection, in 1990 and 1996, with only 52.5 and 52.6 percent of the vote against a Black Democratic candidate in both races, Harvey Gantt.

The tendency back then was to write off Helms as something of an aberration in the Republican Party, a throw-back to a kind of coarse nativism and racism that most Republicans did not countenance, at least not then. His famous “hands” commercial, that many said was responsible for his victory in 1990, showed a white man’s hands crumpling up a job application after losing the job to a “less qualified” minority applicant. It was criticized at the time for its “racial subtext.” The ad was a nakedly racist appeal for white votes, and Helms was known in his state and in the Senate as racist. He led a 16 day filibuster against creating a federal holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. He voted against the Voting Rights Act whenever it came up for renewal.

But Helms wasn’t a lone wolf within the Republican Party. Looking back, we can see that he was its heart and soul. It was Republican appointed Supreme Court justices who voted to disembowel the Voting Rights Act in 2013 in Shelby County v. Holder. A recent proposal by Democratic Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act has been met with silence from congressional Republicans. They don’t want to empower the federal government to oversee how states run their elections for federal office. They don’t even want officials like a secretary of state to have the authority over elections. They want Republican-controlled legislatures to control the counting of ballots, and in presidential elections, the awarding of electoral college votes. They don’t want more people to vote. They want fewer. They don’t want fair elections. They want to win. Period.

When Brown v. Board of Education was decided, southern states did everything in their power to prevent the integration of their public schools. In 1964, a decade after Brown, 98.9 percent of Black students in 11 southern states were still going to school in segregated all-Black schools. Whole school systems in at least one southern state were closed rather than integrate. Eventually, court decisions led to integration in one school system after another around the Deep South. In response, many white parents pulled their children out of integrated schools and established private all-white “academies” to educate their children, leaving only a smattering of low income white children to go to school in integrated systems with Black children. And then they fought for years to try to use public tax dollars to fund their private all-white schools. Donald Trump and his secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, were still fighting to use so-called “vouchers” for private segregated schools when he left office.

I remember what it was like in 1964. That year, I went to a high school in Virginia that was partially integrated only because the federal government was able to force the school system in Fairfax County to accept the sons and daughters of Black members of the military. But every morning, several school buses filled with Black children whose parents were not in the military drove past my school on their way to a high school ten miles south. Schools in Fairfax County were not fully integrated from kindergarten to 12th grade until 1974.

The Supreme Court this week accepted a Mississippi abortion case that many legal experts say could lead to a weakening, if not totally overturning, of Roe v. Wade. With six justices appointed by Republican presidents, three by our last disgraced and twice-impeached president, the court is poised to overturn anything they want. They could overturn Roe v. Wade. They could overturn the clause in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that barred federal funds from going to segregated schools on the same basis they did away with the clause in the Voting Rights Act that mandated the overseeing of southern states voting laws by the Department of Justice. In that decision, they found the law interfered with the “sovereignty” of the states covered by the Voting Rights Act. The Roberts court could use the “sovereignty” basis to overturn federal court decisions that have outlawed so-called “voucher” programs that were passed to allow the use of local tax dollars to find private schools that discriminate on the basis of race.

The Supreme Court can do whatever they feel they can get away with. So can Republicans in congress, especially in the Senate, so long as they have the power of the filibuster.

The Republican Party is trying to bury the assault on the Capitol on January 6. They are trying to prevent the investigation of that assault so that another assault just like it can happen. They are not going to risk losing at the ballot box again. They are doing whatever they can get away with to fix it so they can’t lose, even if that means we lose our democracy.

New top story from Time: Majority of Minneapolis City Council Backs Dismantling Police Department in Wake of George Floyd’s Alleged Murder

“It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe,” Lisa Bender, the council president, said. “Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”

A more complete remaking of the department is likely to unfold in coming months.

The move to defund or abolish the Minneapolis department is far from assured, with the civil rights investigation likely to unfold over the next several months.

On Saturday, activists for defunding the department staged a protest outside Mayor Jacob Frey’s home. Frey came out to talk with them.

He left to booing.

At another march Saturday during which leaders called for defunding the department, Verbena Dempster said she supported the idea.

“I think, honestly, we’re too far past” the chance for reform, Dempster told Minnesota Public Radio. “We just have to take down the whole system.”

Friday round-up

Yesterday the Supreme Court released three more decisions. In County of Maui, Hawaii v. Hawaii Wildlife Fund, the court held 6-3 that a Clean Water Act permit is required for either a direct discharge of pollutants into navigable waters or its functional equivalent. Lisa Heinzerling analyzes the opinion for this blog. At Bloomberg Law, Ellen Gilmer and Amena Saiyid report that “[t]he decision narrows an environmentalist-favored standard an appellate court adopted in 2018, but rejects the industry-preferred approach that would have exempted all indirect pollution from Clean Water Act permitting requirements.” Adam Liptak reports for The New York Times that “the decision was on balance a victory for environmental groups, as it allowed at least some lawsuits over groundwater discharges.” At Foley Hoag’s Law & the Environment blog, Seth Jaffe writes that the court found “a workable middle ground that avoids eviscerating the statute without subjecting untold number of groundwater discharges to CWA jurisdiction.” [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is counsel on an amicus brief in support of the respondents in this case.]

In Barton v. Barr, the court ruled 5-4 on ideological lines that an offense that will preclude an alien from being eligible for cancellation of removal does not have to be one of the offenses of removal. At Bloomberg Law, Kimberly Robinson reports that the ruling in Barton “has made it harder for longtime green card holders with a criminal conviction to remain in the United States.” Jess Bravin reports for The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) that “[t]he case turned on whether the term ‘inadmissible,’ as it appears in the statute, can refer to a green-card holder who already lives in the U.S., as the government argued, or only to someone seeking admission to the U.S.” At the Immigration LawProf Blog, Nancy Morawetz maintains that the decision “shows the Court majority’s disingenuous use of rules of statutory construction.” At Crime & Consequences, Kent Scheidegger concludes that “the Supreme Court majority and the Eleventh Circuit have correctly interpreted the statute,” and that although “[t]here is surely much room for policy disagreement in this area, … those arguments should be made to Congress.”

Finally, in Romag Fasteners v. Fossil, Inc., the court held unanimously that a plaintiff in a trademark suit can secure an award of lost profits without showing willful infringement. Ronald Mann analyzes the opinion for this blog. Jacob Baldinger has an analysis at Subscript Law.

At The NCSL Blog, Lisa Soronen discusses Monday’s decision in Ramos v. Louisiana, in which a splintered court ruled that the Constitution requires a unanimous jury verdict in state criminal trials. At Vox, Ian Millhiser writes that “[a]s the Court’s lead opinion pointed out, non-unanimous juries are a practice rooted in white supremacy”; he argues that Justice Samuel Alito’s dissent “was the latest in a string of opinions bristling at the idea that racism still shapes many policymakers’ decisions today, and that the legacy of past racism still affects people of color.” Leah Litman suggests at Slate that Ramos “is not the first appearance of this division between justices who are willing to grapple with race and racist history and those who are not.” Also at Slate, Mark Joseph Stern asserts that Justice Elena Kagan’s vote with the dissent “in Ramos really shouldn’t have come as a surprise: The justice crosses ideological lines in divided decisions more frequently than any of her liberal colleagues[, and s]he’s also a pragmatist with a fierce commitment to precedent who will follow her principles even when they lead to an outcome she dislikes.”

Briefly:

In another post at The NCSL Blog, Lisa Soronen looks at Monday’s decision in Atlantic Richfield Co. v. Christian, which “makes it more difficult for landowners located in Superfund sites to pursue state remedies against Superfund site owners.”

At NPR, Nina Totenberg writes that although “Chief Justice John Roberts has worked hard to persuade the public that the justices are fair-minded legal umpires–not politicians in robes[, t]hat image got pretty scuffed up earlier this month when the conservative court majority shot down accommodations for the coronavirus that would have allowed six more days for absentee ballots to be received in Wisconsin’s election for 500 school board seats, over 100 judicial seats, and thousands of other state and local positions.”

At Slate, law students Darcy Covert and A.J. Wang observe that “[o]n Monday, the United States Supreme Court did something it had not done for nearly a decade: It denied a motion by the solicitor general to participate in oral argument in a case to which the federal government is not a party” they argue that “[i]t shouldn’t wait 10 years to do so again.”

In the latest episode of the Heritage Foundation’s SCOTUS 101 podcast, Elizabeth Slattery and Tiffany Bates “recap the Court’s latest rulings (non-unanimous jury verdicts, point source pollutants, and more).”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

The post Friday round-up appeared first on SCOTUSblog.

Now We Know How Far Democrats Will Go to Beat Trump in 2020

Text messages between FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page show that he thought “the CIA” was behind the leaks of misinformation about the course of the Russia-collusion investigation. Now Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are demanding that the Intelligence Community spill the beans. The chairmen of the Senate finance and foreign affairs committees sent Intelligence Community Inspector-General Michael Atkinson the following letter: “On April 25, 2019, we sent a letter to Attorney General Barr highlighting a November 2017 text message exchange between Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in which they discussed sending a ‘CI guy’ to a briefing for the Trump presidential transition team to ‘assess’ the attendees and possibly ‘develop potential relationships.’ In addition to questions about the meaning of these text messages, we also highlighted our continued concerns about leaks to the media about ongoing investigations. “We write today to highlight other information regarding the FBI’s apparent awareness of leaks by other agencies or entities to the media. Specifically, in a December 2016 text message between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page, Strzok told Page: ‘Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they’re kicking in to overdrive.’ “Later, in April 2017, Strzok e-mailed FBI colleagues and once again discussed leaks by others to the press. Specifically, with regard to the publication of an article in The Guardian titled, ‘British spies were first to spot Trump team’s links with Russia,’ Strzok said: ‘I’m beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn’t shared it completely with us. Might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks.’ “These texts and emails raise a number of serious questions and concerns. For example, who are the ‘sisters’ and what does it mean to say that the ‘sisters have [been] leaking like mad’? What are they worried about, and what are they kicking into ‘overdrive’? Which ‘agency’ is he referring to and why does Strzok believe the referenced news article highlights that ‘agency as [a] source of some of the leaks’? “We are looking forward to the Justice Department Inspector General’s forthcoming reports reviewing potential FISA abuses and leaks from FBI personnel in order to gain a better understanding of what happened during the Russia investigation. However, these texts and emails demonstrate the need to investigate leaks from agencies or entities other than FBI. Accordingly, has the Intelligence Community Office of the Inspector General initiated an investigation into these apparent leaks? If not, please explain why not.” They’re not alone. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway says the White House would like to know who the leakers are, too. But Democrats have refused to back down—likely because they intended to use the “Russia Narrative” in their 2020 campaigns. Speaking at Cornell University’s Institute of Political & Global Affairs, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained Democrat priorities ahead of the 2020 election. Here’s what they said: “[W]e have to make sure that the Constitution wins the next presidential election. We can’t be worrying about well, how long is this going to take? Well, that will take as long as it does. And we will press the case so that in the court of public opinion people will know what is — is right. But we cannot accept a second term for Donald Trump if we are going to be faithful to our democracy and to the Constitution of the United States. “And that is just the fact,” she continued. “So we have to operate on many fronts. We have to operate in the Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion, and we must win the next election.” But former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says Democrats are engaging in an effort called “Sue Until They’re Blue” aimed at guaranteeing electoral victories for at least a generation to come. Speaking this morning on “FOX & Friends,” he said: "What you've got is Eric Holder with the support of Barack Obama spending hundreds of millions of dollars across the nation, and they just go in from one state after the next and they sue until it’s blue. They are using a litigation process to take redistricting out of the hands of the people we elect, the people we hold accountable in our state legislative bodies, and trying to send it to the courts where they have friendly folks, many of whom have been appointed by some of their allies, and they are trying to sue to change the makeup really for, I think, a generation to come in terms of putting Democrats in power." In her speech, Pelosi said she thinks the president is trying to “goad” Democrats into impeaching him. She says it would only work to divide the country and solidify the president’s base. But that didn’t prevent Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a 2020 Democrat presidential candidate, from calling for impeachment in a floor speech. She said: “We took an oath not to try to protect Donald Trump. We took an oath to protect the—and serve the Constitution of the United States of America. And the way we do that is we begin impeachment proceedings now against this president." Now, as House Democrats begin considering a resolution to find Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress, they have another reason to be outraged. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has officially announced they have no “legitimate legislative purpose” for reviewing the president’s tax returns for the past six years, so he’s making them off-limits to them. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg slammed the president during a campaign stop in South Carolina on Monday. He said: "Our current president targeted with a message saying that we could find greatness by just stopping the clock and turning it back, and making America great again. When that past that he is promising to return us to was never as great as advertised." Mayor Pete’s comments aren’t really all that different from the nonsense the vast majority of the 20 other Democrats in the 2020 primary field are spewing every day on the campaign trail. They push for open borders, they’re pro-abortion, and they can’t stand American exceptionalism. Exactly who will challenge President Trump in the 2020 general election is still for grabs, but the media has a clear frontrunner they’re pushing: former Vice President Joe Biden. The Hill has released a new poll that shows him with a seemingly insurmountable 32-point lead over second-place Senator Bernie Sanders.

Congratulations on your confirmation as United States Attorney General!

By snail mail ======================= The Honorable William Barr Attorney General of the United States U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 February 21, 2019 Dear General Barr, Congratulations on your Senate confirmation as United States Attorney General! It is high time America had a law enforcement chief who can ably protect President Trump. For the past two years, corrupt machinations by Obama Administration holdovers in the Department of Justice, and elsewhere in the Deep State, have been harming our nation. I'm sorry for your sake that you're joining a government that right now resembles the Netflix television drama "House of Cards." The bright side is, you have the ability to correct this unfortunate situation with a handful of decisive actions. As your first order of business, I pray you will act on something your immediate predecessor, Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, lacked the courage to do. Last fall, the President asked General Whitaker to put Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in charge of SDNY's investigations regarding Michael Cohen and the president. This entirely reasonable demand arose from the fact the president trusts Mr. Berman much more than the Hillary Clinton-supporting cretins who were handling that investigation. To his everlasting shame and discredit, General Whitaker did nothing. He's proven to be just the latest in a long line of Department of Justice cowards who, through action and inaction, have cravenly undermined their commander-in-chief time and again. First, there was Acting Attorney General Sally Yates. Her bizarre, self-righteous zeal apparently blinded her to the results of the 2016 election. Ridiculously, she believed she could boss around people in the Trump White House over outrageous and unlawful Deep State eavesdropping on the phone calls of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Next, came backstabbing FBI Director James Comey. Not only did he ignore President Trump's command to drop the inquiry into Michael Flynn, Comey did precisely the opposite, which understandably resulted in his long-overdue firing. His lying and leaking belie the "honorable Boy Scout" image he so craftily cultivates. The third DOJ personnel indignity President Trump had to suffer was Attorney General Jeff Sessions. That senile munchkin and silly Lost Causer failed to prevent both the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the subsequent witch hunt Mueller is overseeing. At the very least, Sessions should have fired the special prosecutor after he staffed his office with Hillary Clinton supporters who were so conflicted they never should have been hired in the first place. The people cited above are hardly the only Trump-betraying traitors in the Department of Justice. Another is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Along with Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Rosenstein treasonously contemplated an unconstitutional coup against the nation's chief executive. Even worse, he volunteered to illegally wear a wire in meetings with President Trump. Thank goodness the liar McCabe was fired the day before his retirement. Rosenstein's treachery calls for even harsher punishment, and that should be your second order of business. Is the death penalty still an option for treason? It goes without saying that your third priority should be the sacking of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his 13 Hillary-loving partisans. Their never-ending and unAmerican witch hunt has cost many good people like Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn their life's savings. It must end immediately. Like the president says: "There was no collusion!" From avidly watching the Sean Hannity show, I know there are many others in the DOJ who also deserve dismissal, although such treatment seems far too gentle given their perfidy. So I hope you'll make "cleaning house" your fourth order of business. Like an exterminator fumigates a cockroach-infested bungalow, the department must be cleansed of employees who aren't 100 percent loyal to the president. (In my opinion the best way to ascertain their loyalty is polygraphs.) Once the disloyalists are banished, you should turn your attention to the Democratic leadership in Congress. Their unyielding obstruction is creating a national security emergency. As your fifth step, they should be arrested and held without bond to prevent any further "investigations," which we both know are total bull excrement. As the siixth and final step, you can turn to the issue of pardons. Everyone indicted in this Trump-Russia nightmare deserves them. The victims also deserve to be fully reimbursed by taxpayers for all of their legal expenses. Once you work down that short list, General Barr, you'll have a GREAT tenure as attorney general. It will allow President Trump to rule as a president should, and enable him to get back to Making America Great Again! Then, the Department of Justice can once again begin prosecuting REAL criminals. Just for starters, those include James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller and all his assistants, and the members of the Fake News media who enabled them. Thank you for reading my heartfelt letter. I wish you the best in your new post! Sincerely, Arthur Mofodopoulis 4604 Kenbridge Drive Greensboro, NC 27410

How Trump’s government shutdown is harming cyber and national security

It’s now 18 days since the U.S. government unceremoniously shut down because Congress couldn’t agree on a bill to fund a quarter of all federal departments — including paying their employees.

But federal workers are starting to feel the pinch after not getting paid for two weeks, and this will have a knock-on effect to U.S. national security. The longer the shutdown goes on, the greater the damage will be.

The “too long, didn’t read” version is that before Christmas, President Trump wanted $5 billion for a wall on the southern border with Mexico to fulfill a campaign promise. Despite the Republicans having a majority in both houses of Congress, they didn’t have the votes to pass the spending bill in the Senate, which would’ve kept the government going when existing funding expired on midnight on December 22. No vote was held, even after a successful vote in the House, and the government shut down. When the Democrats took the majority in the House last week following their midterm wins, they were ready to pass a funding bill — without the $5 billion (because they think it’s a gigantic waste of money) — and get the government going again. But Trump has said he won’t sign any bill that doesn’t have the border wall funding.

More than two weeks later, some 800,000 federal workers are still at home — yet, about half were told to stay and work without pay. Worse, there’s no guarantee that federal workers will get paid for the time the government was shut down unless lawmakers intervene.

Unless the Democrats get a veto-proof majority, the impasse looks set to continue.

Government shutdowns don’t happen very often — usually — or really at all outside the U.S., and yet this is the first time in four decades that the government has been closed three times in one year. That doesn’t mean cyber or national security threats conveniently stop. Granted, most of the government is functioning and ticking over. There are still boots on the ground, cops on the street, NSA analysts fighting hackers in cyberspace and criminals still facing justice.

But while most of the core government departments — State, Treasury, Justice and Defense — are still operational, others — like Homeland Security, which takes the bulk of the government’s cybersecurity responsibility — are suffering the most.

And the longer the shutdown goes on, the greater chance of tighter budgets and that more staff could be furloughed.

Here’s a breakdown:

Homeland Security’s new cybersecurity unit got off to a rough start: The newly established Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, a division of Homeland Security, has only been operational since November 16, but about more than half of its staff have been furloughed, according to Homeland Security. The division is designed to lead the national effort to defend critical national infrastructure from current, ongoing threats. By our count at the time of writing, the CISA has been shut down for one in 10 days of its two-month tenure.

Threat intelligence sharing will take a hit: A little-known program inside Homeland Security, known as the Automated Indicator Sharing, has also sent home more than 80 percent of it staff, according to Duo Security. AIS allows private industry and government agencies to share threat intelligence, which is shared with Homeland Security’s government partners, to ensure that any detected attack can only ever be used once. The shutdown is going to heavily impact the data exchange program.

New NIST standards to face delays: More than 85 percent of National Institute of Standards and Technology employees have been sent home without pay, leaving just a handful of essential staff to keep NIST’s new advice and guidance work going. NIST is responsible for giving all government departments necessary and up-to-date security advice. It also means that FIPS testing, used to grant devices and new technologies security certifications to run on government networks, has completely stopped during the shutdown.

Underpaid TSA agents are now entirely unpaid: The TSA, found at every U.S. airport security screening area, is still working despite the shutdown. More than 90 percent of the TSA’s workforce of 60,078 employees will go unpaid — on top of already low pay, which has resulted in a high turnover rate. Despite Trump’s remarks to the contrary, several news agencies say TSA workers are calling out sick in droves. And that’s going to harm airport security. Many worry that the already low morale could put airline security at risk. One traveler/passenger at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport tweeted this week: “I asked TSA agent if I should take out my laptop out of its case and she said, ‘I don’t care, I’m not getting paid’.”

Secret Service staff are working unpaid: And, whether you like them or not, keeping the president and senior lawmakers and politicians alive is a paramount national security concern, yet the vast majority of front-line and back office Secret Service agents currently protecting senior administration staff are going unpaid during the shutdown.

And that’s just some of the larger departments.

The shutdown isn’t only hampering short-term efforts, but could result in long-lasting damage.

“Cyber threats don’t operate on Washington’s political timetable, and they don’t stop because of a shutdown,” Lisa Monaco, former homeland security advisor to the president, told Axios on Wednesday. And security firm Duo said that trying to keep all of the cyber-plates spinning at once while not at full-strength is “risky,” especially given nobody knows how long the shutdown will last.

All this for a border wall that Trump says will prevent terrorists from pouring into the U.S.

Critics say that the cost-benefit to building the wall vis-à-vis the shutdown doesn’t add up. Experts say that there hasn’t been a single case of a known terrorist to have crossed illegally into the U.S. from the Mexican border. In fact, since the September 11 attacks, more than three-quarters of all designated acts of terror were carried out by far-right extremists and not Islamic violent extremists, according to a government watchdog. The vast majority of terrorist incidents were U.S. citizens or green card holders.

A border wall might keep some terrorists out, but it’s not going to stop the terrorists who are already in the U.S. Yet, right now it seems the White House wants the appearance of security rather than the security from a quarter of what the government already has at its disposal.

Here’s what to expect in cybersecurity in 2019
