Supreme Court puts
Obama’s Clean Power
Plan on hold
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
divided Supreme Court agreed
Tuesday to halt enforcement
of President Barack Obama’s
sweeping plan to address climate
change until after legal challenges
are resolved.
The surprising move is a
blow to the administration and
a victory for the coalition of 27
mostly Republican-led states and
industry opponents that call the
regulations “an unprecedented
power grab.”
By issuing the temporary
freeze, a 5-4 majority of the
justices signaled that opponents
made strong arguments against
the rules. The high court’s four
liberal justices — Justices Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer,
Sonia Sotomayor and Elena
Kagan — said Tuesday they
would have denied the request for
delay.
The Obama administration’s
plan aims to stave off the worst
predicted impacts of climate
change by reducing carbon
dioxide emissions at existing
power plants by about one-third
by 2030.
A federal appeals court in
Washington last month refused
to put the plan on hold. That
lower court is not likely to issue a
ruling on the legality of the plan
until months after it hears oral
arguments begin on June 2.
Obama seeks
cybersecurity boost to
replace ‘ancient’ tech
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Barack Obama said
Tuesday he is asking Congress
for $3.1 billion to update the
government’s archaic computer
systems to protect them from
cyberattacks as part of a new,
East Oregonian
centralized effort to boost
cybersecurity.
Obama said he will hire a new
FKLHILQIRUPDWLRQVHFXULW\RI¿FHU
— but whose salary would be
paltry compared to those paid by
big businesses — and expand the
government’s troubled “Einstein”
intrusion-prevention technology.
Obama said some infrastructure is
downright ancient, with the Social
Security Administration relying
on systems from the 1960s that
are vulnerable.
“That’s going to have to

by top national security advisers
in the Roosevelt Room. “We’re
going to have to play some

catch-up.”
Across town, the U.S. director
of national intelligence, James
Clapper, warned Congress that
Russia, China, Iran and North
Korea are the most serious threats
to U.S. information systems.
Clapper also said increasingly
connected devices and appliances
make the U.S. vulnerable in new
ways.
Obama’s comments came
after the release of his 2017
budget proposal. Obama is asking
Congress for $19 billion more
in cybersecurity funding across
all government agencies — an
increase of more than from 35
percent from last year.
