Power Up: Barrett’s legal views on abortion, the election and health care are now marginally clearer

October 14, 2020

This about sums it up: “The safest and surest route to the prize,” Elena Kagan wrote in a law review article in 1995 of Supreme Court confirmation hearings, according to the New York Times’s Adam Liptak, “lay in alternating platitudinous statement and judicious silence.”

Invoking the Ginsburg rule, Barrett stated she would provide “no hints, no forecasts, no previews,” as the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said during her 1993 confirmation hearing.

“Justice Ginsburg’s favored technique took the form of a pincer movement,” Kagan wrote in her 1995 article about Ginsburg’s performance, according to Liptak. “If a question was too specific, she would decline to answer on the ground that she did not want to forecast a vote. If it was too general, she would say a judge should not deal in abstractions or hypothetical questions.”

Like many Republicans, Barrett even employed the commonly used, “I can’t really speak

One Enduring Legacy of the Clean Power Plan: Lung Health

The global COVID-19 outbreak has raised awareness about the link between air pollution and lung health. In that context, a more aggressive federal policy on clean power would provide U.S. business with a platform for promoting their contributions to public health, in addition to supporting global decarbonization and green job creation. Nevertheless, the Trump administration continues to undercut the bottom-line case for clean power, by replacing the Obama-era Clean Power Plan with far less ambitious goals under the new Affordable Clean Energy rule.

The economic impact of the Clean Power Plan

The Obama administration launched the Clean Power Plan in 2015, based on the premise that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has the power to regulate carbon emissions from power plants under its Clear Air Act authority.

Rather than establishing new, one-size-fits-all restrictions on carbon output, the plan outlined a flexible approach. In concert with new EPA standards for carbon

Peter Moody had modest goals for In Good Health but the mare that was set to spend spring in the breeding barn will chase a Caulfield Cup start in Saturday’s Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes.

A Caulfield Cup spot was a long way off Peter Moody’s mind when In Good Health joined his stable this year.

In Good Health was one of the first horses Moody welcomed into his stable when he returned to training in May but he only expected to have the five-year-old in the camp for a short time.

“I was just happy to win a midweek with her and send her to stud,” Moody said.

Racing is full of surprises. In Good Health has stunned her trainer with her progress, which had led to her being in contention for a Caulfield Cup start via Saturday’s Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m).
