5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JULY 10, 2018 Trump replaces Supreme Court’s swing vote Associated Press OREGON SENATORS REACT WASHINGTON — Presi- dent Donald Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh, a solidly conser- vative, politically connected judge, for the Supreme Court, setting up a ferocious confirma- tion battle with Democrats as he seeks to shift the nation’s high- est court ever further to the right. A favorite of the Republican legal establishment in Washing- ton, Kavanaugh, 53, is a for- mer law clerk for retiring Jus- tice Anthony Kennedy. Like Trump’s first nominee last year, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Kava- naugh would be a young addi- tion who could help remake the court for decades to come with rulings that could restrict abor- tion, expand gun rights and roll back key parts of Obamacare. “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,” Trump said in his prime-time televised Oregon’s U.S. senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, both ex- pressed concerns about Kavanaugh’s nomination. “Tonight the president begins a forced march back to the days when women’s health care choices were made by government,” Wyden said. “There can be no mistaking Trump’s Supreme Court nomination for anything but what it is: a direct attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade. American women could lose the right to chart the courses of their own lives, finding their futures are determined by the whims of fanatical state legislators and the availability of con- traception. Make no mistake: we will not go back to those days.” Merkley added that “Everything we feared is on the line.” AP Photo/Evan Vucci Judge Brett Kavanaugh speaks in the East Room of the White House. White House announcement Monday. He added: “There is no one in America more quali- fied for this position, and no one more deserving.” With Kavanaugh, Trump is replacing a swing vote on the nine-member court with a staunch conservative. Kavana- ugh, who serves on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, is expected to be less receptive to abortion and gay rights than Kennedy was. He also has taken an expansive view of executive power and has favored limits on investigating the president. Speaking at the White House, Kavanaugh pledged to preserve the Constitution and said that “a judge must be inde- pendent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret the Constitution “Roe v. Wade could be overturned and abortion and forms of contraception criminalized,” Merkley said. “Americans with pre-existing conditions could lose life-saving health care. Marriage equality could be overturned. Racial inequality and blatant voter suppression could be further embraced by the highest court in the land. These are no longer wild hypotheticals; these are real and imminent threats to our nation.” as written.” A senior White House offi- cial said Trump made his final decision on the nomination Sunday evening, then phoned Kavanaugh to inform him. The official said Trump decided on Kavanaugh because of his large body of jurisprudence cited by other courts, describing him as a judge that other judges read. On Monday, Trump phoned retiring Justice Kennedy to inform him that his former law clerk would be nominated to fill his seat. Trump signed Kava- naugh’s nomination papers Monday evening in the White House residence. Top contenders had included federal appeals judges Ray- mond Kethledge, Amy Coney Barrett and Thomas Hardiman. Some conservatives have expressed concerns about Kava- naugh, questioning his commit- ment to social issues like abor- tion and noting his time serving under President George W. Bush as evidence he is a more establishment choice. But his supporters have cited his expe- rience and wide range of legal opinions. With Democrats determined to vigorously oppose Trump’s choice, the Senate confirma- tion battle is expected to dom- inate the months leading up to November’s midterm elections. Senate Republicans hold only a 51-49 majority, leaving them hardly any margin if Demo- crats hold the line. Democratic senators running for re-election in states Trump carried in 2016 will face pressure to back his nominee. WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press After daring rescue, entire Thai soccer team out of cave MAE SAI, Thailand — A daring rescue mission in the treach- erous confines of a flooded cave in northern Thailand has saved all 12 boys and their soccer coach who were trapped deep within the labyrinth, ending a grueling 18-day ordeal that claimed the life of an experienced diver and riveted people around the world. Thailand’s Navy SEALs, who were central to the rescue effort, said on their Facebook page that the remaining four boys and their 25-year-old coach were all brought out safely this evening. Sev- eral hours later, a medic and three SEAL divers who had stayed for days with the boys in their tiny refuge in the cave also came out. Eight of the boys were rescued by a team of Thai and interna- tional divers on Sunday and Monday. Cheers erupted at a local government office where dozens of volunteers and journalists were awaiting news of whether the intricate and high-risk rescue mission had succeeded. Helicop- ters transporting the boys roared overhead. People on the street cheered and clapped when ambulances ferrying them on the last leg of their journey from the cave arrived at a hospital in Chiang Rai city. Each of the boys, ages 11 to 16 and with no diving experi- ence, was guided out by a pair of divers in three days of intri- cate and high-stakes operations. The route, in some places just a crawl space, had oxygen canisters positioned at regular intervals to refresh each team’s air supply. The boys were given an anti-anxi- ety medication to help with their perilous removal. Highlighting the dangers, a former Thai navy SEAL died Fri- day while replenishing the canisters. Cave-diving experts had warned it was potentially too risky to dive the youngsters out. But Thai officials, acutely aware that the boys could be trapped for months by monsoon rains that would swell waters in the cave system, seized a window of opportunity provided by relatively mild weather. A massive water pumping effort also made the winding cave more navigable. Dozens of immigrant children will be reunited with parents SAN DIEGO — Dozens of immigrant children under the age of 5 will be released from government custody and reunited with their parents today after being separated at the border under Presi- dent Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy. A government lawyer said at least 54 children under the age of 5 would join their parents by a court-ordered deadline, only about half the 100 or so children covered by the order. The Trump admin- istration was working on final background checks for another five children ahead of today’s deadline. On Monday, Trump’s administration acknowledged it would not meet today’s deadline set by a San Diego federal judge to reunite detained children under 5 with their families. Trump said today that he has a solution to the missed deadline: “Tell people not to come to our country illegally.” Before depart- ing the White House for Europe, Trump said, “That’s the solution. Don’t come to our country illegally. Come like other people do. Come legally.” Parents in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cus- tody “for the most part” are being taken to locations near their chil- dren and the families will be released, Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabian said in court. She said locations would not be pub- licly disclosed, but children have been sent to shelters across the country. More than 2,000 children were separated from their parents by U.S. immigration authorities at the border this spring before Trump reversed course on June 20 amid an international outcry. Baby found alive buried under debris in Montana woods MISSOULA, Mont. — A 5-month-old infant who miraculously survived more than nine hours being buried under a pile of sticks and debris in the woods of western Montana suffered only minor injuries despite wearing wet and soiled clothes in cold weather, authorities said. Missoula County Sheriff’s deputies were called about 8 p.m. Saturday about a man threatening people in the Lolo Hot Springs area of the Lolo National Forest. Deputies apprehended the man, who indicated that a baby was buried somewhere in the woods. The sheriff’s office hastily put together a search crew of fed- eral, state and local officials that combed the forest outside the hot springs for six hours before a deputy heard a baby’s cry at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday. He found the baby face-down under the pile of sticks and debris, dressed only in a wet and soiled onesie in the 46-degree (8-degree weather. The baby was taken to a hospital. Custody of the child has been referred to the state Division of Child and Family Services. Francis Crowley, 32, was being held on $50,000 bail on a charge of criminal endangerment. Additional charges will follow, the sheriff’s office said. Crowley is from Portland, and was previously arrested in June in Missoula on a fugitive warrant from Oregon, the Missoulian reported. He was released when Oregon officials decided not to extradite him. The nature of Crowley’s relationship to the baby was not imme- diately clear. Seaside: ‘Let’s make Seaside a better town and the problems will take care of themselves’ Continued from Page 1A pretty far,” Wiese said. “Every person that stops in there and eats is one more meal that does not get taken sitting down in one of our restaurants.” Tsunami Sandwich Co. owner David Posalski said employee shortages, limited housing and the short tour- ist season put brick-and-mor- tar businesses at a disadvan- tage. “Would it be great to have more varied businesses?” he said. “Yes. Would it be great to have more varied food options? Yes. Am I for it? No.” He said opening food carts would be “destined to fail” and would not only hurt local busi- nesses, but prove discouraging for cart operators. “For those of us foodies who want to see more options, let’s put more food festivals in the shoulder season,” Posalski said. “This is not about not wanting competi- tion — it’s about preserving the resources the community has invested and supporting our neighbors, kids and charities with businesses that are going to give back.” Wayne Poole, owner of Pig ’N Pancake, said that food carts drew people for the “short duration.” “The rest of us are trying to make it on a year-round basis, and the rest of us need the busy times to make the money, to make it viable,” Poole said. “My concern would be a level playing field.” Teri Carpenter of the U Street Pub was a dissenting voice among the restaurant community. “I really don’t think food carts are going to put me out T UESDAY E VENING (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 PM “If a private business owner wanted to put in a pod, that’s what I’d be looking at.” Carts can succeed without taking business from sit-down restaurants, he added. “There are hundreds of people in town who would love to see food carts — under the right struc- ture,” he said. Reactions from other city councilors were mixed. Mayor Jay Barber said any new rules should be crafted with input from existing businesses. City Councilor Randy SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A of business,” Carpenter said. “If they siphon off business, then maybe I’m not doing such a good job. My idea is if we make our town a better town, we’d do a better job. Let’s make Seaside a better town and the problems will take care of themselves.” Morrisey said he sought a highly regulated framework like those in other cities, with a pod formula that could house a number of well-maintained and regulated food options. “It would be year-round infrastructure,” Morrisey said. Frank, a former restaurateur, said he was “not a fan” of hav- ing food carts in Seaside, while Councilor Tita Montero looked to delay the discussion until after the busy summer season. “It’s incredibly popular with the general public,” Mor- risey said after the meeting. “Obviously restaurant owners are concerned, which I under- stand, but we’re just going to move forward and continue with a vote. But first we’re going to craft an ordinance that basically addresses all the con- cerns people have.” Evening listings TUESDAY A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM J ULY 10 11:30 Jeopardy!
