The justices upheld a law on the disposal of fetal remains in an Indiana law, but declined to hear a case that could have tested Roe v. Wade.
| | | May 29, 2019 | Morning Edition | | | | Good Wednesday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today. | |
| _____________________ | | • The Supreme Court on Tuesday sidestepped part of a case that could have tested the constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade, turning down an appeal to reinstate a strict Indiana abortion law. But the court, in an apparent compromise, upheld part of the same law requiring abortion providers to bury or cremate fetal remains. | | • A fight with state authorities could lead Missouri to become the first state without access to abortion services in nearly 50 years. | | • Taking a cue from the Voting Rights Act, Senator Kamala Harris will call for states with a history of flouting abortion rights to clear new abortion laws with the Justice Department. | | • President Trump publicly undercut John R. Bolton, his national security adviser, on Iran and North Korea during his trip to Japan this past week, raising questions about the administration’s policy and personnel in the middle of international confrontations. | | | | • Mr. Trump sided again on Tuesday with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, in mocking Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s intelligence, an extraordinary alignment of a United States president and a brutal dictator against an American politician. | | • Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky objected to a request on Tuesday to pass a $19.1 billion emergency relief package by unanimous consent, becoming the second House Republican to block final passage. | | • Declining to hold big-dollar fund-raisers and rolling out one policy proposal after another, Senator Elizabeth Warren has strengthened her candidacy, though questions about her financial viability remain. | | • Mr. Biden released the first major policy platform of his campaign, a sweeping education proposal that urges federal investment in low-income schools and supports universal prekindergarten and higher teacher pay. | | | • The Navy is reviewing whether it should reprimand service members who sported a red “Make Aircrew Great Again” patch on their flight suits during Mr. Trump’s visit to the aircraft carrier Wasp in Japan.
| | • Representative Justin Amash, always a marginal Republican figure, finds himself on center stage for his view that Mr. Trump engaged in impeachable conduct: hero to many, goat to many more. | | • The Trump administration declined to label China a currency manipulator, despite the president’s repeated complaint that China has weakened the renminbi to take advantage of the United States on trade. The decision could avoid further escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing. | • A pro-Trump group and a right-wing militia have joined together to construct less than a mile of border fencing on private land in southern New Mexico.
