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.”

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.

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

“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.

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.”
