SUPREME COURT
Jackson acknowledges judicial role is ‘limited’ Lawmakers
Republicans greet
historic nominee,
promise tough but
impartial hearing
BY ALEX SWOYER AND STEPHEN DINAN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson told
senators Monday that she believes the
Constitution grants a “limited” role to
judges, kicking off her Supreme Court
confirmation hearing with an early over-
ture to Republicans who will decide how
difficult a path she has to the high court.
Judge Jackson said she takes judi-
cial independence “very seriously” and
decides cases from “a neutral posture,”
as she tried to preempt arguments that
she would be an activist liberal voice on
the bench.
“I know that my role as a judge is
a limited one, that the Constitution
empowers me only to decide cases and
controversies that are properly pre-
sented, and I know my judicial role is
further constrained by careful adherence
to precedent,” the judge told the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
She gave her brief opening statement
after all 22 senators had their say, laying
out what the next two days of questions
would look like.
Democrats celebrated the historic
nature of her nomination. If confirmed,
the 51-year-old D.C. native and Harvard
Law graduate would be the first Black
woman, and only the third Black person,
to hold a seat on the high court.
“Today for me is a day of joy,” said Sen.
Cory A. Booker, New Jersey Democrat.
“Judge Jackson’s nomination breaks an
artificially confining mold of our past and
opens up a more promising potential-
filled future for us all as Americans. It
signals that this nation will draw more
deeply from all of our talent and genius
that will benefit all Americans.”

Democrats try to use identity politics

BY SETH MCLAUGHLIN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Biden’s history-making
nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson
to the Supreme Court set a new marker

With Mr. Biden’s now-fulfilled pledge
to nominate a Black woman to the high

With no surrender, Mariupol
faces more horror from Russia
BY BEN WOLFGANG
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Defiant Ukrainians rejected Russia’s
surrender demands Monday and vowed
to keep fighting in the face of indiscrimi-
nate shelling and a growing death toll,
while relations between Moscow and the
West sunk to a post-Cold War low amid
outrage over “massive war crimes” com-

Putin and his troops.
European Union foreign policy chief
Josep Borrell became the latest high-
ranking official to describe Russia’s hor-

Mariupol as war crimes. In using such

call on FBI

Demand answers

Director Christopher A. Wray explain
potential discrepancies between his testi-
mony last year to Congress and the find-
ings of a 2019 agency audit that revealed

AMERICANS FACE PERSONAL ‘ECONOMIC DISASTER’
Here’s a stark look at the financial status of many Americans at
the moment.
“How much does your household have in emergency savings —
that is, money that is readily available in either a checking, savings
or money-market account?” asked an Issues & Answers/TIPP poll
released Monday.
Respondents were given eight possible responses: “No emer-
gency savings,” “one month’s expenses,” “two months’ expenses,”
“three months’ expenses,” “four months’ expenses,” “five months’
expenses,” “six months’ expenses or more” and “not sure.”
The overriding response was grim, the pollster found.
“Sadly, the biggest category by far was “no emergency savings,”
at 34%. Both ‘one month’s’ and ‘two months’ garnered 11% each,”
wrote Terry Jones, editor of Issues & Insight, in an analysis.
“So 56% of all Americans — over half of the population — have
either no savings or barely enough to last two months, should eco-
nomic trouble occur. For most, that means they are one job loss or
personal injury away from economic disaster,” Mr. Jones said.
“Only 16% of respondents said they had financial resources for
three to five months. And just 16% responded they had enough
stashed to last for six months or more. Another 11% said they
‘weren’t sure,’ perhaps the most worrisome response of all,” his
analysis concluded.
The poll of 1,318 U.S. adults was conducted March 2-4 and re-
leased Monday.
BIDEN CATCHES MORE BLAME
Just so you know, prices in February increased 0.8%, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The prices are higher than the
0.6% increase in January. Meanwhile, the price tag on goods and
services rose to 7.9% from February 2021 to February 2022 — the
highest inflation rate since January 1982. Gasoline, incidentally, is
up by 38% in the last year — and used cars and trucks by 41%.
So who is to blame?
“ President Joe Biden’s policies have increased inflation, accord-
ing to a majority of voters, who expect the issue to be important in
November midterm elections,” reports a new Rasmussen Reports
survey, which found that 64% of likely U.S. voters believe the poli-
cies of Biden’s administration have increased inflation.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In an Issues & Answers/TIPP poll, the largest group of respondents,
34%, reported their households had no emergency savings.
A mere 8% think Mr. Biden’s policies have reduced inflation
while 25% say the Biden administration’s policies have not made
much difference in inflation. The survey of 1,000 likely voters was
conducted March 9-10 and released Monday.

FAA ruled border drone ban illegal, then reversed decision
House GOP: Emails show plea
made to ‘censor’ media coverage
BY STEPHEN DINAN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration had decided it was illegal
to ban drones flying over the
border in Del Rio, Texas, amid last
year’s surge of Haitian migrants,
but imposed the ban after plead-
ing by a Homeland Security offi-
cial, according to emails obtained
by House GOP investigators.
Rep. James Comer, top Re-
publican on the House Oversight
and Reform Committee, said the
documents seem to show the
FAA bent its own understanding
of the rules in order to “censor”
media coverage of the chaotic
U.S.-Mexico border under Presi-
dent Biden.
The no-fly order had the effect,
at least temporarily, of blinding
news organizations that had taken
to the sky to show the thousands
of Haitians who had stormed
the U.S. bank of the Rio Grande
last September, commandeering
space for a migrant camp under-
neath the international bridge in
Del Rio.
“The FAA’s decision to
abruptly reverse course on the
legality of banning media drones
raises questions about poten-
tial political interference at the
agency to hide President Biden’s
border crisis from the public,” Mr.
Comer and fellow Republicans on
the committee wrote in a letter
Monday to FAA Administrator
Steve Dickson.

Republicans accuse Democrats
of ‘hiding’ documents on Jackson
Grassley says senators need files from 2010 to 2014
BY ALEX SWOYER
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The top Republican on the
Senate Judiciary Committee com-
plained Monday that Democrats
are withholding documents re-
lated to the nomination of Judge
Ketanji Brown Jackson to the
Supreme Court.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Re-
publican, said the senators need
to review Judge Jackson’s time
serving as vice chair of the U.S.
Sentencing Commission from
2010 to 2014, but Democrats did
not join the GOP in pushing for
documents related to her work
there ahead of the confirmation
hearings this week.
The ranking Republican on the
Senate Judiciary Committee said
at the opening of the panel’s con-
firmation hearing that the Obama
White House withheld 48,000
pages of requested information,
citing the Presidential Records
Act.
“That’s a lot of hiding,” Mr.
Grassley said. “The limited num-
ber of useful records we received
from the Obama White House
show exactly why Sentencing
Commission documents would
have been important. There are a
number of dark money groups on
the left that argue federal judges
should make policy decisions
based on the judges’ own values.”
Republican senators have
complained in recent weeks
of left-wing groups’ support of
Judge Jackson, noting one group
— Demand Justice — also pushed
for expanding the court to coun-
ter its current conservative 6-3
majority.
The Iowa Republican said
at Monday’s hearing that the
co-founder of Demand Justice
played a role in Judge Jackson’s
nomination to the sentencing
commission.
“The Demand Justice co-
founder even interviewed Judge
Jackson about a nomination to
requested the drone ban on Sept.
16.
According to an official from
CBP’s Air and Marine Opera-
tions division, agents and officers
feared the drones endangered
their safety.
The official, whose name was
redacted from the documents pro-
vided to Mr. Comer, said there had
been “several” drones flown in the
area, coming “less than a few feet
from responding officers/agents.”
The official said the Border Patrol
wanted a ban “ASAP.”
An FAA manager in the Sys-
tem Operations Support Center
rejected the request, saying it was
“illegal for us to restrict airspace
for the purposes as specified.”
But a later email indicates a
subsequent phone conversation
between the two figures, and the
ban was issued later that day at
5:18 p.m. in Del Rio.
Oversight Committee Repub-
licans say that raises “concerns
about its legality.”
In a statement Monday, the
FAA again didn’t address why it
changed its initial legal ruling,
but did defend the ultimate bar
itself, saying there were dozens
of drones being flown in the same
airspace as law enforcement, and
it was creating a safety threat.
Documents the FAA recently

Trying to win over White swing vot-

account the larger pool of voters of color
every election cycle, he said.
“That minority of Whites plus the
sizable majority of people of color is
a winning coalition,” Mr. Phillips said.
“But it must be inspired and mobilized.”
Mr. Biden and Democrats are hop-
ing the Jackson nomination energizes
the Black voters and the liberal base of
the party without alienating moderate
or conservative-leaning voters who are
more interested in the party’s plans for
bolstering the economy.
Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Demo-

ciary Committee, opened Judge Jack-
son’s nomination hearing Monday by
highlighting the historical significance
of the moment. He noted that she is the
first Black woman to be nominated to the
court in its 230-year history.
“Not a single justice has been a Black
woman. You can be the first,” Mr. Durbin
said. “It’s not easy being the first. In some
ways, you have to be the best, in some
ways the bravest.”

COURT
From page A1
He and fellow Democrats said Judge
Jackson’s pioneering nomination goes
beyond her racial identity and includes
her time on the U.S. Sentencing Commis-
sion and her years as an assistant public
defender — a first for a potential high
court pick — to go along with eight years
as a U.S. district judge and nine months
as a federal appeals court judge.
Republicans acknowledged the his-
toric moment but said Judge Jackson’s
biography and resume are less important
than her judicial philosophy.
“I think it is good for the court to look
like America, so count me in on the idea
of making the court more diverse,” said
Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina
Republican. “I want the court to play
a particular role in America. One is —
make it look more like the country — but
also make it operate in the confines of
the Constitution.
“We are going to ask you what we
think you need to be asked,” he told the
judge.
Republicans have suggested in recent
days that Judge Jackson’s record shows
she is weak on crime.
Sen. Josh Hawley, Missouri Repub-
lican, accused Judge Jackson of going
easy on defendants sentenced for child
pornography crimes. As a district court
judge, he said, she meted out sentences
well below what federal sentencing
guidelines recommended and often the
bare minimum that the law allowed.
“I think it is important we hear from
Judge Jackson,” Mr. Hawley said. “I am
not interested in trapping Judge Jackson.
I am not interested in trying to play
‘gotcha.’ I am interested in her answers.”
A different approach
Republicans promised that the
UKRAINE
From page A1
Ukrainian officials stood strong and
rejected calls to surrender Mariupol to
the Russian invaders. The city has faced
weeks of bombardment from Russian
troops, leading to untold casualties and
an exodus of civilians. Those who re-
main in the city have no electricity and
little food and water. Russian forces are
seeking to bomb and starve the city into
submission.
Russian forces offered Ukrainians safe
passage out of Mariupol in exchange for
total surrender, but Ukrainian leaders
brushed aside the offer before Moscow’s
Monday morning deadline.
“There can be no question of any sur-
render” in Mariupol, said Ukrainian Dep-
uty Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
Despite a considerable edge in man-
power and weaponry, the Russian invad-
ers have yet to capture a single major
Ukrainian town. Defenders are digging
in in Kyiv, Kharkiv and other major
urban areas.
In a video address Monday, Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy de-
scribed the aftermath of Russia’s bomb-
ing of a Mariupol art school on Sunday.
An estimated 400 people, including
children, were inside at the time. It’s not
clear how many were killed.
Mr. Zelenskyy used the incident as
a rallying cry.
“They are under the rubble, and we
don’t know how many of them have sur-
vived,” Mr. Zelenskyy said. “But we know
that we will certainly shoot down the
pilot who dropped that bomb, like about
100 other such mass murderers whom we
already have downed.”
Mr. Zelenskyy again expressed open-
ness to negotiating directly with Mr.
Mr. Biden’s judicial picks.
“President Biden has nominated the
first-ever Article III Muslim judge to our
federal courts,” said Mr. Booker, who is
Black. “He nominated the first openly
LGBTQ woman to serve on our federal
courts.”
“He nominated Native American and
Asian American candidates who have
appeared before this committee,” he said.
“They herald the truth of who we are
as a country, an inclusive multicultural
nation that shows the world a promise
of a true democracy.”
Championing diversity also is fraught
with political challenges, said Jim Kes-
sler, executive vice president of policy at
Third Way, an anti-partisan Washington
think tank.
He cautioned that diversity can be
misperceived — or purposely miscon-
strued by Republicans — as far-left
opposition to a wider embrace of the
electorate.
“On the Democratic side, I think there
is always a risk that we look at diversity
as the only option rather than it being
among many options,” Mr. Kessler said.
“Democrats are at their best when they
are seen as fighting for everybody and
not particular interest groups or ethnic
groups.

hearing would be different from the
free-for-all brawl that sprung up during
the confirmation of Justice Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh in 2018 or the nasty questions
about the process that dogged President
Trump’s other nominees, Justices Neil M.
Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett.
Underscoring the Republicans’ ap-
proach, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa,
the Senate’s senior Republican law-
maker, held the chair for Judge Jack-
son as she took her seat to start the
proceedings.
“We won’t try to turn this into a spec-
tacle based upon alleged process fouls,”
Mr. Grassley said. “What we will do,
however, is ask tough questions about
Judge Jackson’s judicial philosophy.”
In a reference to Justice Kavanaugh’s
bitter and at times deeply personal 2018
confirmation battle, Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas
Republican, told the nominee, “No one
is going to inquire into your teenage
Putin in hopes of ending the bloodshed.
Ongoing negotiations between the two
nations have made little progress.
In addition to the continuous bomb-
ing campaign on Mariupol, Russian
forces on Monday struck targets outside
Kyiv. Heavy fighting was reported north
of the city. Russian troops late Sunday
reportedly struck a shopping mall near
Kyiv’s city center, killing at least eight
people, Ukrainian emergency officials
said.
Moscow said Ukrainians were using
the site as a military depot. Those claims
were not immediately verified.
Elsewhere, Russian troops reportedly
hit civilian houses in an attack on the
Black Sea city of Odesa, Ukraine’s big-
gest port, as they continued an assault
on southern Ukraine.
War of words
Bombings and rocket attacks have
become Russia’s weapons of choice as its
ground forces struggle to achieve their key
objectives. Western officials say that Rus-
sia’s military campaign largely has ground
to a halt because of tougher-than-expected
resistance from Ukrainian forces.
“Russian forces advancing on the
city from the northeast have stalled.
Forces advancing from the direction of
Hostomel to the northwest have been
repulsed by fierce Ukrainian resistance,”
the British Defense Ministry tweeted in
an analysis of the state of play in Ukraine.
“Despite the continued lack of prog-
ress, Kyiv remains Russia’s primary
military objective and they are likely
to prioritize attempting to encircle the
city over the coming weeks,” the min-
istry said.
U.S. defense officials have offered
similar assessments, and a pro-Kremlin
tabloid unexpectedly opened a window
on Russian military losses so far.
that is not the case,” he said.
That dynamic surfaced in the 2020
elections when the far left’s embrace
of the “defund the police” movement
and “socialism” turned off some voters
of color.
“So I think you can tell this micros-
tory: We raised the salience of an ideo-
logically charged issue that millions of
non-White voters disagreed with us on,”
David Shor, head of data science at Blue
Rose Research, a liberal group, told New
York Magazine last year. “And then, as a
result, these conservative Hispanic vot-
ers who’d been voting for us despite their
ideological inclinations started voting
more like conservative Whites.”
Mr. Biden has been trying to strike
a balance between addressing voters’
concerns about rising crime without
angering liberal activists who blame
police for trampling over the civil rights
of Black and brown people.
For Democrats, the nomination
hearing follows a series of legislative
setbacks that have derailed their push
to strengthen “voter rights,” overhaul
policing, provide paid leave and extend
an expanded child tax credit that made
direct monthly payment to parents with
income up to $150,000 a year. All of those
issues, according to Democrats, included
a racial equity element.

dating habits.”
Mr. Grassley did complain, though,
that the confirmation hearings are going
forward without documents from Judge
Jackson’s four years on the Sentencing
Commission, the independent agency
that helps set sentencing guidelines for
the federal court system. He said the
Obama administration withheld 48,000
pages of requested information under
the Presidential Records Act.
“That’s a lot of hiding,” he said. “The
limited number of useful records we
received from the Obama White House
show exactly why Sentencing Com-
mission documents would have been
important. There are a number of dark
money groups on the left that argue
federal judges should make policy deci-
sions based on the judges’ own values.”

ocratic aide said Republican and Demo-
cratic staff met with the commission
In an online article that was quickly
removed, Komsomolskaya Pravda re-
vealed that some 9,861 Russian soldiers
had died in Ukraine and 16,153 were
injured, according to recent Defense
Ministry figures. Russian officials have
not updated their casualty count from
the operation since March 2, when they
said 498 soldiers had been killed. Kyiv
said nearly 15,000 Russian troops had
been killed, but that figure could not be
independently verified.
While Russia’s war machine was
stalled, its rhetorical assault on the West
went into overdrive. The Russian Foreign
Ministry said U.S.-Russian relations were
on the verge of a major “breach” after Mr.
Biden’s “unacceptable statements” that
Mr. Putin is a war criminal.
The White House and State De-
partment said later that Mr. Biden was
“speaking from the heart” and not an-
nouncing a formal war crimes charge
against Mr. Putin. Still, U.S. officials said
the brutal tactics of Russia’s invading
forces will undergo serious scrutiny.
“We certainly see clear evidence
that Russian forces are committing war
crimes, and we are helping with the
collecting of evidence of that,” Pentagon
spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
“But there’s investigative processes that
are going to go on, and we’re going to let
that happen. … As for what would come
out of that, that’s not a decision that the
Pentagon leadership would make.”
Mr. Biden isn’t alone in his belief.
“What’s happening now in Mari-
upol is a massive war crime, destroying
everything, bombarding and killing ev-
erybody,” said Mr. Borrell, the European
Union’s representative for foreign affairs
and security policy.

action and federal rule-making to pro-
mote equity and opportunities for Black
people. He set the tone shortly after
assuming office by issuing an executive
order that called for a “whole-of-gov-
ernment equity agenda that matches the
scale of the opportunities and challenges
that we face.”
He has filled his Cabinet with a wide
array of people from diverse back-
grounds and used his executive branch
authority to address what he described
as racial injustices in the courts and the
elections.
Questions about race and diversity
also dominated the Democratic National
Committee’s winter meeting as members
considered reshuffling the presidential
nomination calendar and giving prefer-
ence to states with diverse populations.
Activists have long held that Iowa is
too White to host the first nomination
contest.
“I already think the Democrat Party
has a problem,” said Craig Robinson, a
longtime Iowa Republican activist. “It is
a party that is hyperfocused on major mi-
nority segments of America — LGTBQ,
immigrants and minorities — and there
is a big swath of America that doesn’t be-
lieve that that party even communicates
to them anymore.”
Republicans, meanwhile, say Judge
Jackson is qualified for the Supreme
officials and were told that nonpublic
materials from Judge Jackson’s work
on the commission “would add little
value.”
The aide said Judge Jackson shared
more than 12,000 documents from her
time on the Sentencing Commission,
“including commission reports and de-
tailed meeting minutes – in addition to
her nearly 600 written judicial opinions
during her time on the bench.” ? Judiciary
Committee Chairman Richard J. Durbin,
Illinois Democrat, said Mr. Hawley was
“unfair in his analysis” of the judge’s
sentencing record.
Judge Jackson was picked to be a
district judge by President Obama and
won confirmation by voice vote in 2013.
President Biden nominated her last year
to fill a seat on the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia.
She won confirmation on a 53-44 vote.
Last month, Mr. Biden named her to
fill the seat of retiring Justice Stephen
G. Breyer, a Clinton appointee to the
high court.
Looking for clues
Judge Jackson’s brief time on the
appeals court has produced few clues
about how she would approach the law
as one of nine people able to rewrite
understanding of the Constitution from
the bench of the high court.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc-
Connell, Kentucky Republican, noted
in a speech from the chamber floor
Monday that Judge Jackson authored
just two opinions during her time on the
appeals court.
“We know a lot about the time Judge
Jackson spent applying precedent as
a trial judge on the district court but
very little about her independent views
of larger constitutional and legal ques-
tions,” he said.
Mr. McConnell is one of the 44
Republicans who voted against Judge
to document Russian military operations
for a possible war crimes investigation.
Other NATO nations will likely assist in
such an investigation.
Such close cooperation between the
U.S. and Europe on investigations, eco-
nomic sanctions and other issues has en-
raged the Kremlin. The Russian Foreign
Ministry summoned U.S. Ambassador
John Sullivan to complain about Mr.
Biden’s remarks.
“Remarks such as these by the Ameri-
can president, which are unworthy of
a state figure of such a high rank, put
Russian-American relations on the verge
of a breach,” the ministry said.
Mr. Medvedev, who served as Rus-
sia’s president from 2008 to 2012, took
specific aim at the ties between the U.S.
and Poland, which hasn’t flinched in its
opposition to Moscow even as hundreds
of thousands of Ukrainian refugees flood
across its border and as Russian rockets
fall just miles from its territory.
Mr. Medvedev said Polish leaders sold
out their people to appease the West. He
specifically cited the country’s decision
to stop buying Russian gas, oil and coal.
“The interests of Polish citizens are
being sacrificed for Russophobia by
these talentless politicians and their
puppeteers from across the ocean with
clear signs of senility,” Mr. Medvedev
said in a Telegram post.
The U.S. and Poland have had clear
disagreements, including a dust-up two
weeks ago when Washington scuttled
a Polish plan to deliver fighter jets to
Ukraine via American military bases in
Germany. U.S. officials are stiff-arming a
Warsaw proposal to assemble a NATO
“peacekeeping” mission to deploy to
Ukraine.

voters that their race and gender dis-

“Most people believe you should select
the person who is most qualified regard-

Gerow, a Republican Party strategist and

“I’m a brown American and very proud
of that, so I understand completely the

African Americans, Asian Americans,
etc., but that does not mean that we ought

The Associated Press-NORC Center
for Public Affairs Research released
a poll last month that found 48% of
Americans say it’s not important to them
personally that a Black woman becomes
a Supreme Court justice. Another 23%
say it’s somewhat important, and 29% say
it’s very or extremely important.
The poll showed Mr. Biden’s promise
is resonating with Black Americans, 63%
of whom say it’s very or extremely im-

woman serves on the court, compared

Jackson’s circuit court nomination last
year, and he said his meeting with the
judge this time was enjoyable — “she’s
a likable person”— but it did not resolve
his concerns about her as a judge.
“Judge Jackson suggested to me in
our meeting that she does not really
view herself as having any judicial phi-
losophy at all. But meanwhile, in the
press, boosters of her nomination say
she does have a philosophy and assure
us that it’s mainstream. So which is it?”
Mr. McConnell said.
Judge Jackson gave away little on
Monday other than to embrace the the-
ory of a limited role for judges.
“During this hearing, I hope you will
see how much I love this country and
the Constitution and the rights that make
us free,” she said during her opening
statement. “I have dedicated my career
to ensuring the words engraved on the
front of the Supreme Court building —
‘Equal justice under law’ — are a reality
and not just an ideal.”
She spent most of her opening state-
ment thanking family and friends and
revealing a deep faith in God.
“It is faith that sustains me at this mo-
ment. Even prior to today, I can honestly
say that my life has been blessed beyond
measure,” the judge said.
Judge Jackson noted that her parents
moved from Miami to the District of Co-
lumbia after civil rights were enacted so
she could have opportunities that were
not afforded to them.
“My parents taught me that, unlike the
many barriers they had to face growing
up, my path was clearer, so if I worked
hard and I believed in myself — in
America — I could do anything or be
anything I wanted to be,” she said.
As a working mother, Judge Jackson
said, she struggled to find a balance.
“I hope that you have seen with hard
work, determination and love, it can be
done,” she said to her two daughters.

discuss military and humanitarian as-
sistance for Kyiv.
Mr. Biden joined a call with French
President Emmanuel Macron, German

Minister Boris Johnson and Italian Prime
Minister Mario Draghi, the White House
said. Mr. Biden’s trip will include meet-
ings with NATO officials, European
Union leaders and representatives of
the Group of Seven leading industrial
powers.
In Washington, there was fear that
Russia’s angry rhetoric could transform
into action.
Mr. Biden warned in a statement
that “evolving intelligence” showed the
“Russian government is exploring op-
tions for potential cyberattacks” against
U.S. targets.
The statement did not elaborate on
what exactly the intelligence revealed or
what the U.S response might be.
Mr. Biden urged U.S. companies to ac-
celerate efforts to protect themselves and
said the federal government is willing to
help them fend off Russian cyberattacks.
“My administration will continue
to use every tool to deter, disrupt, and
if necessary, respond to cyberattacks

Feds hedge on resuming oil-and-gas leasing despite ruling

Interior officials
accused of
skirting required
quarterly sales
BY VALERIE RICHARDSON
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Those waiting for the Biden
administration to hold its first
oil-and-gas leasing sale on federal
lands may not want to hold their
breath.
The Interior Department said
late last week that it would con-
tinue “planning for responsible
oil and gas development” after an
appeals court lifted the block on
its social-cost-of-carbon analysis,
spurring reports that the adminis-
tration would at long last resume
open up federally owned land
and maritime parcels for private
energy development.
Interior spokesperson Melissa
Schwartz issued a statement Fri-
day praising the ruling, which
effectively allows the government
to factor in carbon emissions and
the impact on the climate into its
leasing decisions.
“We appreciate the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s
decision to grant a stay of the pre-
liminary injunction related to the
use of social cost of greenhouse
gases,” she said. “Calculating the
social cost of greenhouse gas
emissions provides important
information that has been part
of the foundation of the work the
Interior Department has under-
taken over the past year. With this
ruling, the department continues
its planning for responsible oil
and gas development on Amer-
ica’s public lands and waters.”
In other words, the depart-
ment didn’t say that it would
resume new leasing in response
to the court decision, but it also
didn’t say that it wouldn’t.
The Interior Department is
nearing five consecutive quarters
without holding an onshore leas-
ing sale — and only one offshore
sale primed by the Trump ad-
ministration – as pressure builds
for President Biden to unleash
domestic production on federal
lands and waters to combat soar-
ing gas prices and the market
disruptions caused by the Rus-
sian war in Ukraine.
The department has put off
leasing auctions as it addresses
what it calls “significant short-
comings” in federal oil and gas
programs, prompting court bat-
tles with red-state officials led
by Louisiana Attorney General
Jeff Landry anxious to spur new
private energy development on
the vast federal holdings.
Last month, the department
said it anticipated delays in new
leasing sales after a federal court
blocked the administration from
using its raised social-cost-of-car-
bon estimates in regulatory de-
cision-making. In a decision last
Wednesday, however, the Fifth
Gas prices tank Democrats’ agenda for clean energy future
BY RAMSEY TOUCHBERRY
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
An unrelenting spike in
gasoline prices at the pump
has thrown Democrats for a
loop as they search for ways to
make it easier for Americans to
do something contrary to the
party’s climate change messag-
ing: fill up their tanks.
For years, Democrats have
sought solutions to minimize
the country’s dependence
on fossil fuels by making re-
newable resources like wind,
solar and nuclear power more
enticing and affordable for
consumers.  take far longer to fall than
But many Democrats now
argue that, amid the record-
high prices, extraordinary
times call for extraordinary
measures, as they now want
to ease the financial burden
placed on many of their fossil-
fuel-consuming constituents.
One of the latest proposals
is a “Big Oil Windfall Profits
Tax” on large oil companies
that would combat “corporate
profiteering” by levying a 50%
tax on profits when oil is above
$66 per barrel — the average
price from 2015-2019 — and
rebate a portion of the money
to taxpayers in the range of
$240 for single tax filers and
$360 for joint filers.
The tax would spare
smaller producers by targeting

FDA schedules meeting to devise next steps on COVID vaccine boosters

The Food and Drug Adminis-

the U.S. population, or 217 million
people, received a primary vac-
cination series, defined as two
doses of the Pfizer or Moderna
vaccines or one shot of the John-
son & Johnson vaccine.
About 45% of the fully vacci-
nated opted to receive an initial
booster shot.
President Biden spent the past
several months begging Ameri-
cans to take advantage of booster
shots that are free and widely
available, though some Americans
do not seem convinced additional
shots are necessary to stave off a
bad outcome.
Those resisting any vaccina-

who detest mandates around the

On the flip side, some gover-
nors have pressed regulators to
let them give fourth shots to the
elderly and vulnerable persons
as the nation decides to navi-
gate its way through future waves
without resorting to widespread
restrictions.
At the same time, many gover-
nors are closing state-run testing
sites, citing a lack of demand.
New Hampshire closed its
state-run sites last week, South
Carolina is closing its own
through March, and Utah has
been unwinding mass testing
since February, according to a
tally from The New York Times.
Some Massachusetts lawmak-
ers told Gov. Charlie Baker, a
Republican, to reconsider his de-

proven invaluable in the battle to
identify community outbreaks

Text shows kidnap plot leader asked ‘when’s the lynching?’

have been kicked out of the group
Informant recorded conversations if he had appeared too soft.

of plan for Whitmer’s abduction “I want to continue dialogue

BY ED WHITE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A man described as the leader
of a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer asked “when’s
the lynching?” after the state Su-
preme Court in 2020 struck down
a law that she repeatedly used to
impose restrictions during the
COVID-19 pandemic, according
to evidence introduced Monday.
The disclosure came near the
end of the first phase of testimony
by a key government witness in
the trial of four men. Defense at-
torneys then took over the ques-
tioning of Dan Chappel, who was
challenged about what he said
and did during months of covert
work for the FBI.
Mr. Chappel, an Army veteran
who hauls mail, was an informant
who secretly recorded hours of
conversations and participated in
chat groups. He said he also took
part in training in preparation for
the abduction of Ms. Whitmer,
along with the defendants: Adam
Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris
and Brandon Caserta.
Prosecutors say the four were
antigovernment extremists who
wanted to grab the Democratic
governor at her vacation home in
northern Michigan in retaliation
for a series of sweeping orders
during the pandemic.
With Mr. Chappel in the wit-
ness chair, Assistant U.S. Attor-
ney Nils Kessler introduced mes-
sages written after Ms. Whitmer
lost a Michigan Supreme Court
case about her powers.
“When’s the lynching?” Mr.
Fox wrote. “She should be ar-
rested now, immediately. Who
wants to roll out?”
The exchange occurred just
a few days before the FBI ar-
rested the men as they tried to
obtain an explosive to use in a
kidnapping.
Messrs. Fox, Croft, Harris and
Caserta are charged with con-
spiracy. Mr. Chappel last week
told jurors how some of the plot-
ters made two trips to Elk Rapids
to see Ms. Whitmer’s property as
well as a nearby bridge that could
be blown up to distract police.
Defense lawyers claim infor-
mants and agents improperly
influenced the four men. Mr. Fox’s
attorney, Christopher Gibbons,
pursued that theme as he cross-
examined Mr. Chappel on the
smallest details.
Mr. Chappel acknowledged
that he provided paper and pen

for Mr. Fox to draw a map after
a daytime ride to Elk Rapids. He
said he paid for lunch at a diner
where the map was drawn and
provided transportation for the
August 2020 trip.
On another subject, Mr.
Gibbons pointed out that Mr.

gun and mailing the ammunition

with him and see where his mind-
set’s at,” Mr. Chappel said of Mr.
Fox. “I’m not professional law
enforcement. I’m just an average
guy with somebody who wants
to kidnap and kill the governor.
I had no playbook. This was all
fluid every day.”
Earlier, Mr. Chappel admitted
that he had put his nickname on
a Confederate flag displayed at
a Luther, Michigan, training site
where the group had practiced
storming a house. He said the flag
represented hate but he believed
he needed to do what the others
wanted.
Two other men, Ty Garbin
and Kaleb Franks, pleaded guilty
to the kidnapping scheme and
will eventually testify for the
government.
Ms. Whitmer rarely talks
publicly about the case, though
she referred to “surprises” over
the last few years that seem like
“something out of fiction” when
she filed for reelection last week.
She has blamed former Presi-
dent Donald Trump for fomenting
anger over coronavirus restric-
tions and refusing to condemn
right-wing extremists like those
charged in the case. Ms. Whitmer
has said Mr. Trump was complicit
in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S.
Capitol.

BUSINESS

Berkshire Hathaway acquires insurance firm for $11.6 billion

BY MICHELLE CHAPMAN AND JOSH FUNK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Warren Buffett, who started
the year bemoaning the lack of
potential acquisitions for his con-
glomerate, Berkshire Hathaway,
announced Monday that it would
acquire the insurance company
Alleghany for $11.6 billion.
The scarcity of investment
targets over the past several years
turned into a cash pile of $146.7
billion at Berkshire by the end of
2021, but the company appears to
have found a suitable place for
some of that cash in recent days.
The Omaha, Nebraska, com-
pany revealed last week that it
had compiled a 14.6% stake in
Occidental Petroleum, snapping
up an additional $1 billion worth
of shares just between Monday
and Wednesday. That was on
top of the more than $6 billion
Berkshire spent acquiring shares
of the oil producer over the past
month.
The all-cash acquisition of Al-
leghany will expand Berkshire’s
already considerable insurance
holdings, including brands like
Geico auto insurance.
“Berkshire will be the perfect
permanent home for Alleghany,
a company that I have closely
observed for 60 years,” Mr. Buffett
said Monday in a prepared state-
ment. “Throughout 85 years the
Kirby family has created a busi-
ness that has many similarities to
Berkshire Hathaway.”
Alleghany’s core businesses
are in property and casualty
reinsurance and insur-
ance, but like Berkshire,
it also owns several
other businesses, in-
cluding a steel fabrica-
tor and a toy company,
and manages an invest-
ment portfolio.
Edward Jones ana-
lyst Jim Shanahan said Buffett
nearly one-third of Al-
leghany’s revenue came
from those operating companies
and its investments last year.
“This is a highly complimen-
tary and very similar franchise,”
Mr. Shanahan said. “I’m really
pleased to see Berkshire putting
capital to work in the market.”
Berkshire will pay $848.02 in
cash for each outstanding share
of Alleghany Corp., the company
said Monday.
“Berkshire Ha-
thaway’s support, re-
sources, and expertise
will provide added
benefits and oppor-
tunities for Alleghany
and its operating busi-
nesses for many years
to come.” Alleghany
Chairman Jefferson
Kirby said.
CFRA Research analyst Cathy
Seifert said this deal makes sense
for both companies because it
will provide Alleghany access
to Berkshire’s massive capital
reserves while expanding insur-
ance and reinsurance operations
at Mr. Buffett’s company at time
when the growth prospects for
those companies are good.
Alleghany, based in New York
City, will operate as an inde-
pendent subsidiary of Berkshire
Hathaway after the transaction’s
closing. It has 25 days to actively
solicit and consider alternative
acquisition proposals under a
“go-shop” provision.
If another suitor does offer a
higher price for Alleghany, Berk-
shire could lose out on the deal
because Mr. Buffett avoids bid-
ding wars and rarely increases
what he offers for acquisitions.
The analysts said it likely
helped this deal come together
that Mr. Buffett is familiar with
Alleghany’s CEO, Joe Brandon,
who previously led one of Berk-
shire’s reinsurance companies for
seven years.
The deal announcement
comes after Mr. Buffett said last
month in his annual letter to
company investors that he was
having difficulty finding worth-
while acquisitions at prices he
likes with the valuations on com-
panies soaring.
Yet Berkshire has made sizable
investments in Occidental since
late February just as the price of
oil began to spike, bringing along
the shares of oil producers with
it. Benchmark U.S. crude had
jumped more than 40% this year
with its rise accelerated by Rus-
sia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The boards of both Allegheny
and Berkshire have approved the
deal, and it’s expected to close
in the fourth quarter. It still
needs approval from Alleghany
shareholders.

POPULATION

Missed minority counts prompt considerations to retool census

BY MIKE SCHNEIDER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Is it time to rethink the
census and other surveys that
measure changes in the U.S.
population?
Policymakers and demog-
raphers have been asking that
question since results released
by the U.S. Census Bureau this
month showed Black, Hispanic,
American Indian and other mi-
nority residents were under-
counted at greater rates in 2020
than in the previous decade.
On the top of that, results
from a version of its most com-
prehensive survey that com-
pares year-to-year changes in
U.S. life had to be scrapped
because disruptions caused by
the pandemic produced fewer
responses in 2020.
“The current model of
coming up with a master ad-
dress list, mailing everybody
an invitation — like you’re in-
viting people to a party and
hoping they respond, and if
not, you’re going to track them
down — I think it’s an obsolete
system,” said Arturo Vargas,
CEO of NALEO Educational
Fund, a nonpartisan nonprofit
that supports Latino political
engagement.
Policymakers and demographers are considering solutions after results released by the U.S. Census
Bureau this month showed minority populations were undercounted at greater rates in 2020.
The undercounts in the
2020 census were blamed on
the pandemic, natural disasters
and political interference from
the Trump administration, but
undercounts of racial and eth-
nic minorities are nothing new
to the census; they’ve been
persistent for decades.
In recent years, the cost
of censuses and surveys
have grown while public
participation rates for surveys
have declined.
The bureau’s biggest be-
tween-census effort to take the
measure of the U.S. population,
the American Community Sur-
vey, produces 11 billion statis-
tics from interviews with 3.5

federal funding and congressio-
nal seats among the states as well
as redrawing political districts.
“What we have today largely
is still a 20th century, survey-
centric statistical system,” Ron
Jarmin, the chief operating of-
ficer of the Census Bureau, said
last December when he was
serving as the agency’s acting
director.
Even before the release of
the 2020 report card earlier
this month, the Census Bureau
had been developing new ways
of gathering data. Chief among
them is the embryonic Frames
Program that would combine
all kinds of data sets, including
administrative records from the
private sector and government
agencies, as well as surveys
and censuses that have been
staples of Census Bureau data-
gathering for decades.
Under the concept, one data
set such as an individual’s IRS
file would be linked to another,
such as the individual’s Census
Bureau survey response. Even-
tually, data related to people’s
addresses, demographics, busi-
nesses and jobs would all be
linked together.
In 2030, when the next cen-
sus takes place, the program
could help count people with
good administrative records or
links to other records, and more
resources could be devoted
toward households that are the
hardest to count, Census Bu-
reau Director Robert Santos
said in a recent interview with
The Associated Press.
“We are looking to take ad-
vantage of existing technology,
and that necessarily includes
the merging of large databases
on people, not to create a Big
Brother society, but to supple-
ment and reduce the burden on
our population when it comes
time to gather data,” said Mr.
Santos, who was appointed by
President Biden.
Relying on administrative re-
cords may have its own problems
because some groups, such as
people in the country illegally,
often have little paper trail.
Besides naming an unusu-
ally high number of political
appointees to the Census Bu-
reau, the Trump administration
unsuccessfully attempted to
use administrative records to
get a tally of the number of
people in the country illegally
so they could be eliminated
from the count used for allocat-
ing congressional seats.
Any effort to revamp how
the count is conducted will
need to be protected from simi-
lar efforts to misuse the count
for political purposes, said Paul
Ong, a professor emeritus of
urban studies at UCLA.
“The 2020 enumeration was
a wakeup call,” Mr. Ong said.
“The Census Bureau has a very
important and fundamental
function in our society. It is
the keeper of our demographic
truths.”

Chicken, turkey farmers struggle to keep birds safe from flu

BY DAVID PITT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, IOWA | Nearly 7
million chickens and turkeys in 13
states have been killed this year
due to avian influenza, prompting
officials and farmers to acknowl-
edge that, despite their best ef-
forts, stopping the disease from
infecting poultry is incredibly
difficult.
Spread of the disease is largely
blamed on the droppings of wild
birds, such as ducks and geese,
which often show no signs of
illness. But studies suggest the
virus can be tracked into se-
cure chicken and turkey barns on
equipment, workers, mice, small
birds and even dust particles.
Infected wild birds have been
found in at least 21 states, and the
virus has been circulating in mi-
grating waterfowl in Europe and
Asia for nearly a year.
State and federal officials re-
main hopeful that the disease won’t
spread as extensively as during
an outbreak in 2015 that resulted
in the deaths of about 50 millions
chickens and turkeys, causing egg
and meat prices to soar.
Bird flu hit more than 200 farms
in 15 states, costing the federal
government about $1 billion and
the poultry industry an estimated
$3 billion.
Still, without certainty about
how to stop the disease this time,
officials can’t be sure it will peter
out on its own. Food prices already
are elevated due to inflation and
supply chain problems, and if
the bird flu outbreak expands to
enough farms, chicken, turkey and
egg prices could surge even higher.
“We’re not seeing a massive
outbreak on a large scale, so I
think it’s too soon to be con-
cerned about food impact or pric-
ing impact at this point, but you
have to acknowledge that can be
an issue over time,” Iowa Agri-
culture Secretary Mike Naig said.
This year, the first case was
found in a commercial facility
in Indiana in February. Since
then, 6.6 million egg-laying and
broiler chickens and 341,000 tur-
keys have been culled, typically
buried in trenches on site.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says the virus doesn’t
present a food quality issue since
birds on infected farms must be
culled and do not enter the food
processing system. Still, the proper
handling and cooking of all poultry
and eggs to an internal temperature
of 165 F is recommended as a gen-
eral food safety precaution.
Even though scientists feel
confident that wild birds are
spreading the disease, they re-
main unsure how the virus enters
highly secure barns, which are
typically equipped with mod-
ern ventilation systems and have
strict protocols for people enter-
ing the buildings.
Asked about Iowa’s first case
in a commercial turkey flock,
Iowa State Veterinarian Dr. Jeff
Kaisand noted, “We don’t know
exactly how it got in.”
It’s an especially big question
in Iowa, the leading egg-produc-
ing state with 49 million chickens.
Last Friday, Iowa saw its first
case this year in a commercial
egg-laying operation, leading to
the killing of about 919,000 hens.
On Monday, the disease was
confirmed at an egg-layer farm
in Wisconsin with 3 million hens.
The USDA said in a 2017 re-
port that studies of the 2015 out-
break were inconclusive but that
spread between facilities occurred
mostly on shared equipment, cloth-
ing or boots of employees, and on
vehicles used for feed distribution
and other purposes.
The disease can also be spread
by small birds that squeeze into
buildings, or tracked inside by
mice.
“Even when you look at the
final epidemiological analyses
from 2015, there was no one
source of introduction. They
were unable to make a conclu-
sion,” said Dr. Yuko Sato, a veteri-
narian and an associate professor
at Iowa State University in veteri-
nary diagnostic and production
animal medicine. “I would say
each introduction is probably
going to be independent. It’s not
just one weak link.”
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention said the re-
cent bird flu infections in flocks
do not present an immediate
public health concern.

involve people engaged in activities such
as politics, government, news media or
religious expression. FBI auditors dis-
covered a ratio of slightly more than two
“compliance errors” per SIM that the au-
ditors examined from Jan. 1, 2018, to June
30, 2019. The auditors reviewed a small
portion of the bureau’s total portfolio.
Mr. Wray told the committee last
year that the FBI investigates individu-
als “with proper predication” or a basis
for doing so, and that the bureau does
not probe “First Amendment groups”
for speech, association, assembly or
membership in those groups, according
to the lawmakers’ letter.
The 2019 audit did not identify the
people and groups investigated by the
down showing dozens of cases involv-
ing religious groups or their prominent
members and dozens of cases involving
political organizations and individuals.
Ten cases involved political candidates
and 11 cases involved news media. Most
of the cases examined, 191, involved
domestic public officials.
The review also showed agents failing
to receive approval before starting inves-
tigations, agents failing to document a
necessary legal review before opening
an investigation, and agents failing to
tell prosecutors what they were doing,
among other things. For example, 35
full investigations and four preliminary
investigations did not have the approval
of an FBI special agent in charge.
In total, the 2019 audit showed
agents violating FBI rules 747 times in
18 months while conducting sensitive
investigations.
The lawmakers’ letter asked Mr. Wray
for an unredacted copy of the 2019 audit,
all documents and communications re-
lating to the 2019 audit, a description of
the predicate needed to open sensitive
investigative matters, an explanation of
whether the FBI has resolved compliance
issues, and unredacted copies of all other
internal reviews since November 2019.
The letter said portions of the audit
that are redacted concerning search war-
rants and investigative methods suggest
“there could be additional misconduct
that the FBI continues to shield from
public scrutiny.”
The lawmakers requested the infor-
mation and a briefing within two weeks,
before 5 p.m. on April 4.
Cato Institute senior fellow Patrick
Eddington uncovered the 2019 audit in
litigation against the FBI for access to
government records. He thinks more
FBI wrongdoing remains unexamined. 
The FBI said it received the lawmak-
ers’ letter on Monday but declined to
comment further. Previously, the FBI
told The Times that the audit’s 2019
findings were “unacceptable,” that the
bureau took compliance seriously and
that it attempted to fix the rule-breaking
by changing its agents’ training.
Russell Dye, a spokesman for the
committee’s Republicans, said the law-
makers expect the FBI will answer its
questions.
“Director Wray was brought in to
clean up FBI abuses, but we keep seeing
the same things,” Mr. Dye said. “There’s a
lot of concern among Republicans about
the politicization of the FBI and its out-
of-control nature.”
Democrats have concerns about the
FBI’s domestic operations, too.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Dem-
ocrat who chairs the Oversight and
Reform subcommittee on civil rights
and civil liberties, requested that the
Government Accountability Office re-
view the FBI’s surveillance of groups
and individuals through “assessments.”
Assessments may lead to investigations,
and they can use surveillance not requiring
a court order, the usage and recruitment
of human sources and the examination
of publicly available information, among
other things, according to the Attorney
General’s Guidelines for Domestic FBI
Operations signed in September 2008.
Mr. Raskin made the request with
Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, the
top Republican on the subcommittee.
The panel is waiting for the GAO’s
report and is engaged directly with the
FBI on its use of assessments, according
to a spokesperson for the committee.

Though many companies already

is no universal format for how and which

industry, was also displeased.

Blinken says Rohingya repression is genocide
Myanmar already under layers
of U.S. sanctions since coup
BY BEN FOX
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Violent repression of the
largely Muslim Rohingya pop-
ulation in Myanmar officially
amounts to genocide, Secretary
of State Antony Blinken said
Monday, a declaration intended
to both generate international
pressure and lay the groundwork
for potential legal action.
Authorities made the deter-
mination based on confirmed
accounts of mass atrocities on
civilians by Myanmar’s military
in a widespread and systematic
campaign against the ethnic
minority, Mr. Blinken said in a
speech at the U.S. Holocaust Me-
morial Museum.
It is the eighth time since the
Holocaust that the U.S. has con-
cluded a genocide has occurred.
The secretary of state noted the
importance of calling attention
to inhumanity even as horrific
attacks occur elsewhere in the
world, including Ukraine.
“Yes, we stand with the people
of Ukraine,” he said. “And we
must also stand with people who
are suffering atrocities in other
places.”
Saudis reject oil market role after Houthi barrage
BY ISABEL DEBRE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIR-
ATES | Saudi Arabia said on
Monday that it “won’t bear any
responsibility” for a shortage
in global oil supplies after a
fierce barrage of attacks by
Yemen’s Houthi rebels affected
production in the kingdom, the
world’s largest oil exporter.
The unusually stark warn-
ing marked a departure from
the giant oil producer’s typically
cautious statements, as Saudi offi-
cials remain aware that even their
smallest comments can swing the
price of oil and rattle global mar-
kets at a time when the Russian-
Ukrainian war already has traders
and governments on edge.
The salvo of rebel attacks
on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities
marked a serious escalation in
the war, which erupted in 2014
when the Iran-backed Houthis
seized the capital, Sanaa, and
much of the country’s north.

CHINA
132 missing after airplane crashes in mountainous area of southern China
BY KEN MORITSUGU
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING | A China Eastern Boe-
ing 737-800 with 132 people on
board crashed in a remote moun-
tainous area of southern China on
Monday, officials said, setting off
a forest fire visible from space in
the country’s worst air disaster in
nearly a decade.
More than 12 hours after com-
munication was lost with the plane,
there was still no word of survivors.
The Civil Aviation Administra-
tion of China said in a statement
that the crash occurred near the
city of Wuzhou in the Guangxi
region. The flight was traveling
from Kunming in the southwestern
province of Yunnan to the indus-
trial center of Guangzhou along
the east coast, it added.
China Eastern flight 5735 had
been traveling at around 30,000
feet when it entered a steep dive
around 2:20 p.m. local time, ac-
cording to data from flight-track-
ing website FlightRadar24.com.
The plane stopped transmitting
data 96 seconds later.
The government of Myanmar,
also known as Burma, is already
under multiple layers of U.S.
sanctions since a military coup
ousted the democratically elected
government in February 2021.
Thousands of civilians through-
out the country have been killed
and imprisoned as part of ongo-
ing repression of anyone opposed
to the ruling junta.
The determination that a
genocide has occurred could lead
other nations to increase pres-
sure on the government, which
is already facing accusations of
genocide at the International
Court of Justice in The Hague.
“As we lay the foundation for
future accountability, we’re also
working to stop the military’s on-
going atrocities, and support the
people of Burma as they strive to
put the country back on the path
to democracy,” Mr. Blinken said.
Rohingya, from Muslim
Myanmar’s western Rakhine state,
faced systematic persecution at the
hands of the Buddhist majority for
decades under both the military
junta that ruled the nation for de-
cades as well as the democratically
elected government.
More than 700,000 Rohingya
responded with a devastating
air campaign to dislodge the
Houthis and restore the interna-
tionally recognized government.
Seven years later, the con-
flict has turned into a bloody
stalemate and spawned what
the U.N. and aid groups de-
scribe as the worst humanitar-
ian disaster in the world.
The state-run Saudi Press
Agency quoted the Saudi For-
eign Ministry as saying that the
kingdom “declares that it will
not bear any responsibility for
any shortage in oil supplies to
global markets in light of the
attacks on its oil facilities.”
The announcement comes
as the kingdom remains
in lockstep with OPEC and
other oil-producing countries
in a deal limiting production
increases. Gulf Arab oil pro-
ducers have so far resisted
pressure from the Biden ad-
ministration to pump more
crude to help bring down oil
prices that have soared amid
the conflict in Ukraine.
Local villagers were first to ar-
rive at the forested area where the
plane went down and sparked a
blaze big enough to be seen on
NASA satellite images. Hundreds
of rescue workers were swiftly dis-
patched from Guangxi and neigh-
boring Guangdong province.
The plane was carrying 123 pas-
sengers and nine crew members,
the CAAC said, correcting earlier
reports that 133 people had been
on board.
Chinese President Xi Jinping
called for an “all-out effort” by the
rescue operation, as well as for an
investigation into the crash and
to ensure complete civil aviation
safety.
Relatives of crew members
arrived at a China Eastern office
near the Kunming airport where
the plane took off, state broad-
caster CCTV reported. On Mon-
day night, an Associated Press
journalist saw police officers and
security guards patrolling outside
the office with flashlights, order-
ing journalists to leave.
At a hotel near the airport,

have fled from Buddhist-majority
Myanmar to refugee camps in
Bangladesh since August 2017,
when the military launched an
operation aimed at clearing them
from the country following at-
tacks by a rebel group.
The status of the plight of
the Rohingya had been under
extended review by U.S. gov-
ernment legal experts since the
Trump administration, given
potential legal ramifications of
such a finding. The delay in the
determination had drawn criti-
cism from both inside and outside
the government.
“While this determination is
long overdue, it is nevertheless a
powerful and critically important
step in holding this brutal regime
to account,” said Oregon Demo-
cratic Sen. Jeff Merkley.

Already, gasoline prices
have hit record highs around
the world. Gas prices in the U.S.
topped $4.25 on Monday, ac-
cording to auto club AAA, just
below the historic nominal re-
cord of $4.33 reached this month.
“The international com-
munity must assume its re-
sponsibility to preserve energy
supplies,” the Saudi statement
added, in order to deter at-
tacks that jeopardize “the
kingdom’s production capa-
bility and its ability to fulfill
its commitments.”
The international oil bench-
mark Brent crude hovered over
$112 a barrel in trading Monday,
up more than 4% for the pre-
ceding session. The price re-
mained below a peak of nearly
$140 hit earlier this month, but
still some $15 a barrel more
than before the Russian inva-
sion of Ukraine Feb. 24.
On Sunday, Yemen’s Iran-
backed rebels launched one of
their most intense series of at-
tacks targeting the kingdom’s
jackets identifying them as mem-
bers of China’s aviation agency,
huddled around tables and read
documents.
State media reported all 737-
800s in China Eastern’s fleet were
ordered grounded. Aviation ex-
perts said it is unusual to ground
an entire fleet of planes unless
there is evidence of a problem
with the model. China has more
737-800s than any other country
— nearly 1,200 of the planes, and
if other Chinese airlines ground
the plane, it “could have a signifi-
cant impact on domestic travel,”
said aviation consultant IBA.
Boeing 737-800s have been
flying since 1998, and Boeing has
sold more than 5,100 of them.
They have been involved in 22
accidents that totaled the planes
and killed 612 people, according
to data compiled by the Aviation
Safety Network, an arm of the
Flight Safety Foundation.
“There are thousands of them
around the world. It’s certainly
had an excellent safety record,”
the foundation’s president, Has-
san Shahidi, said of the 737-800.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
welcomed the determination,
which is similar to findings al-
ready made by other countries,
including Canada, France and
Turkey.
“The U.S. determination of the
crime of genocide against us is a
momentous moment and must
lead to concrete action to hold
the Burmese military account-
able for their crimes,” said Tun
Khin, president of the Burmese
Rohingya Organization UK.
Human Rights Watch said
the U.S. and other governments
should seek justice for crimes
carried out by the military
and impose stronger sanctions
against its leadership.
“The U.S. government should
couple its condemnations of
Myanmar’s military with action,”
said John Sifton, the group’s Asia
advocacy director. “For too long,
oil and natural gas production,
sparking a fire at a petroleum dis-
tribution center in the port of Jid-
dah, the country’s second-largest
city, and disrupting production
at a petrochemicals complex in
Yanbu on the Red Sea.
The overall extent of dam-
age at the installations re-
mained unclear. The Saudi
Energy Ministry acknowl-
edged a temporary drop in
oil output at the 400,000-bar-
rel-a-day Yanbu site, without
elaborating.
The government con-
demned the attacks as a threat
to the security of global oil
supplies “in these extremely
sensitive circumstances.” Even
before Russian tanks rolled
into Ukraine, global energy
supplies were struggling to
keep pace with surging post-
pandemic demand. The West’s
punitive sanctions on Moscow,
among the world’s largest oil
producers and exporters, un-
leashed more turmoil on the
market.
China’s air-safety record has
improved since the 1990s as air
travel has grown dramatically with
the rise of a burgeoning middle
class. Before Monday, the last fatal
crash of a Chinese airliner occurred
in August 2010, when an Embraer
ERJ 190-100 operated by Henan
Airlines hit the ground short of
the runway in the northeastern
city of Yichun and caught fire. All
44 people on board were killed.
Investigators blamed pilot error.
The U.S. National Transporta-
tion Safety Board tweeted Mon-
day that it had picked a senior
investigator to help with the crash
investigation. The U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration, which
certified the 737-800 in the 1990s,
said it was ready to help in the
investigation if asked.
Chicago-based Boeing Co.
said it was in contact with the
U.S. safety board “and our techni-
cal experts are prepared to assist
with the investigation led by the
Civil Aviation Administration of
China.” Boeing shares were down
nearly 3.6% in trading in New
York on Monday
the U.S. and other countries have
allowed Myanmar’s generals to
commit atrocities with few real
consequences.”
A 2018 State Department re-
port documented instances of
Myanmar’s military razing vil-
lages and carrying out rapes,
tortures and mass killings of ci-
vilians since at least 2016. Mr.
Blinken said evidence showed
the violence wasn’t isolated, but
part of a systematic program
that amounts to crimes against
humanity.
Previous determinations of
genocide by the U.S. include
campaigns against Uyghurs and
other largely Muslim minorities
in China as well as in Bosnia,
Rwanda, Iraq and Darfur.
Separately, Cambodia’s for-
eign minister arrived Monday in
Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw on
his mission as a special regional
envoy seeking to push a peace
deal in the fellow Southeast Asian
nation. Prak Sokhonn is repre-
senting ASEAN — the Associa-
tion of Southeast Asian Nations
— which last April reached a
five-point consensus on the crisis
in Myanmar.
The plan included an immedi-
ate end to violence, a dialogue
among all concerned parties and
mediation by an ASEAN special
envoy between the regime and
the opposition.
The relentless wave of
Houthi strikes began before
dawn on Sunday and sporadi-
cally pounded sites throughout
the kingdom’s south and west
for hours, with the roar and
thump of missile interceptors
rattling residents in Jiddah
until just before midnight.
The attacks on installations
run by the state-controlled na-
tional oil company Aramco,
among the world’s most sig-
nificant and valuable compa-
nies, exposed the gaps in Saudi
defenses and recalled the dra-
matic attacks on two key oil
installations in the country’s
east that temporarily knocked
out half of Saudi Arabia’s total
oil production.
After Sunday’s strikes, a
senior administration official
confirmed that the United
States has transferred a sig-
nificant number of Patriot an-
timissile interceptors to help
Saudi Arabia thwart the bar-
rage of Houthi drone and mis-
sile attacks.
A China Eastern Boeing 737-800 crashed in a remote mountainous
area of southern China on Monday. The crash set off a forest fire.

DEAR ABBY: I
have a co-worker
I enjoyed talk-
to and being
around. I’m 27,
and she is 41.
We used to sit to-

our break. All of a sudden,
she stopped sitting with
me during the first break
but she still ate with me at
eating with me at lunch!
I asked her if I said or
did anything wrong and
she said no. I asked her
if she was avoiding me
or had found something
wrong, and she insisted
there was nothing wrong
and I worry too much. So
now I sit alone and she
sits somewhere else by
herself with her phone. I
was nice to her. We talked
about our day and some-
during the break. All that
is gone now.
I know people grow
apart, but it stings. Being
an adult means moving
on, but when something
happens for no apparent
reason, there has to be
an explanation. Can you
share your insight on this
dilemma? — LUNCHING

DEAR LUNCHING ALONE:
There is always a reason.
Perhaps you should believe
your co-worker when she
says you didn’t do or say
anything wrong. What
may have changed are
her circumstances. You
mentioned that rather than
sit with you, she now sits
alone with her cellphone.
It’s possible that something
is going on with her family
— or her personal life that
requires her attention. I
know it stings, but you have
to let it go. Find someone

Female duo behind ‘Power of the Dog’
Cinematographer Wegner could make history at Oscars
BY LINDSEY BAHR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This weekend, Ari Weg-
ner could make Oscar history.
The 37-year-old Australian has
a very good shot at being the
first woman to win an Academy
Award for best cinematography
for helping create the indelible
images of “The Power of the Dog”
alongside director Jane Campion.
Together, Ms. Campion and
Ms. Wegner battled the extreme
conditions of the New Zealand
landscape to transport audiences
to a desolate ranch in 1920s Mon-
tana and create an unforgettable
piece about human fragility. Some
of the images, like a shot of two
actors silhouetted through a barn
door, are the kinds that aspiring
filmmakers are already studying.
And they might have never
met were it not for an Australian
bank commercial. Ms. Campion,
an Oscar-winning auteur, had
never done a commercial be-
fore, but she said yes to that one
and hit it off with the young
cinematographer.
Yet it was still an adrenaline
rush for Ms. Wegner to get a call
from Ms. Campion a few years
later about a potential project to
adapt Thomas Savage’s 1967 book.
She went out that day, bought it
and read it.
Ms. Wegner was already mak-
ing a name for herself with work
on films like “Lady Macbeth” and
“Zola.” But the visual languages
of the films were distinct and
impactful, they did have one thing
in common: They were all lower
budget, independent fare.
“The Power of the Dog” was in
a different league and not just be-
cause of Ms. Campion’s involve-
ment. Here they would have the
backing of Netflix. The streaming
company gave Ms. Campion a
budget that she’d never had the
chance to work with before.
“It was like working with the
Medicis,” the film director said.

CHESS It will be
the first
Olympiad
ever held in India.
The open and women’s com-
petition could provide another
data point in the recent debate
over “home-field advantage” in
chess, a debate fueled by an ex-
cellent column by GM Anthony
Saidy in the current issue of
Chess Life. India, which shared
its first-ever gold medal in the
global team competition in the
virtual, COVID-restricted 2020
Olympiad, is a rising chess su-
perpower, with 73 grandmasters
and 18 women grandmasters
and a mix of veterans such as
GM Vidit Gujrathi and Humpy
Koneru and rising stars such as
junior phenom GM Ramesh-
babu Praggnanandhaa.
A potential member of the
Indian squad this summer is
GM Arjun Erigaisi, who turns
19 later this year. He’s already
had a stellar 2022, having won
the Tata Steel Chess Challeng-
ers tournament in Wijk aan Zee
(earning a place in next year’s
premier event) and just last
month capturing his first Indian
national championship title.
An indicator of his growing
strength and rising rating was
his win at the national tourna-
ment over FM Sharma Ayush.
Erigaisi, who seems to have a
penchant for offbeat openings,
tries a rare Trompowsky line

“But I had an instinct that with

that was definitely the case.”

the development deficit and
grabs space with his central

Talking Indian chess is
always a great excuse to offer
a game from the country’s
greatest superstar and the No.
1 reason for India’s modern
resurgence as a chess power:
Viswanathan Anand, India’s
first-ever grandmaster and the
undisputed world champ from
2007 to 2013.
We’ve run a bushel of great
Anand games over this years in
this column, but there are always
new gems to discover from the
“Tiger of Madras.” Take, for
instance, this amazing win over
French GM Joel Lautier in 1995
from the Biel Chess Festival.
Anand chooses an aggres-
sive line as White against the
Scandinavian, harassing the
Black light-squared bishop at
the expense of his own king-
side. Things heat up early on

Shooting the exteriors first
was a blessing, too. She was more
aware of when something felt
off, like when the air was too
still or clear or the light not wild
enough to match the conditions
in the valley, and they could ad-
just appropriately.
Ms. Wegner was always open
to inspiration in the moment,
too, like when the clouds would
part perfectly and the mountains
looked great. She was conscious
of being attuned to “the possibil-
ity of some really beautiful, iconic
frames.”
Ms. Campion invited her col-
laborators to seize on unplanned
opportunities, one of which hap-
pened to be the shot in the barn,
which they captured after they’d
shot the scene. Ms. Wegner said
Ms. Campion created a “spell of
calm” on the set that allowed for
improvisations.
“When you’re with her, the
seconds on the clock kind of tick
slower,” Ms. Wegner said.
And while it’s always the shots
that get the most attention, the
most ineffable part of a cinema-
tographer’s job is their relation-
ship with actors.
Ms. Wegner said with a
laughed that if she had another
lifetime, she’d write a thesis
about the intimate, voyeuristic,
one-sided relationship where
you both have to be invested in
the emotions of the scene while
also being invisible, even while
sometimes literally touching
the actor, as would happen with
Benedict Cumberbatch in some
of the handheld shots. For her,
the experience is like going into
a meditative state.
“You’re both really present and
all your senses are attuned and
you’re also somewhere else,” she
said. “During a take I would never
feel temperature or pain or hun-
ger and I’d get home at the end of
the day and wonder, ‘Where did
that bruise come from? I don’t
remember smashing my shin on
something.’ ”
Black understandably fails to
see White’s idea, but 19...Bh3 20.

Capitol riot trial opens for
official from New Mexico
Man also helped found Cowboys for Trump
BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An elected official from New
Mexico headed to trial Monday
with a judge — not a jury — set to
decide if he is guilty of charges that
he illegally entered the U.S. Capitol
grounds on the day a pro-Trump
mob disrupted the certification of
President Biden’s election victory.
That’s not the only unusual
feature of the case against Otero
County Commissioner Couy Grif-
fin, whose D.C. trial is the second
among the hundreds of people
charged with federal crimes re-
lated to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
Mr. Griffin is one of the few
riot defendants who isn’t accused
of entering the Capitol or engag-
ing in any violent or destructive
behavior. He claims he has been
selectively prosecuted for his po-
litical views.
Mr. Griffin, one of three mem-
bers of the Otero County Commis-
sion in southern New Mexico, is
among a handful of riot defendants
who either held public office or ran
for a government leadership post
in the 2½ years before the attack.
Ukrainian, U.S. Scouts send medical kits to Lviv
Volunteers show solidarity with

BY SEAN SALAI
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Ukrainian and American
Scouts in the D.C. area are
sending 900 emergency medi-
cal kits to war-torn Lviv this
week.
More than 120 volunteers
from the Ukrainian Scouting
organization Plast DC and the
Boy Scouts of America spent
Saturday afternoon packing
the kits at Westland Middle
School in Bethesda, Maryland.
“This was an opportunity
for our community to show
the Ukrainian people that we
stand with them, that they are
in our thoughts and in our
prayers,” Plast DC leader An-
drew Demidowich said. “Any
support makes a difference,

Ukraine’s largest city, has be-

deals on other platforms.

He is among only three riot
defendants who have asked for a
bench trial, which means a judge
will decide his case without a
jury. U.S. District Judge Trevor
McFadden was scheduled to hear
one day of testimony.
Mr. Griffin, a 48-year-old
former rodeo rider and former
pastor, helped found a political
committee called Cowboys for
Trump. He had vowed to arrive
at the courthouse on horseback.
Instead, he showed up Monday as
a passenger in a pickup truck that
had a horse trailer on the back.
Mr. Griffin is charged with
two misdemeanors: entering and
remaining in a restricted building
or grounds and disorderly and
disruptive conduct in a restricted
building or grounds.
Defense attorney Nicholas
Smith said prosecutors apparently
believe Mr. Griffin engaged in
disorderly conduct by peacefully
leading a prayer on the Capitol
steps.
“That is offensive and wrong,”
Mr. Smith told the judge during
his brief opening statements.
Prosecutors didn’t give any
because they see that Ukraine
is prospering, and it has been
doing so well being demo-
cratic.” Ivanka said. “I have a
lot of family in Ukraine, and
I lived there for almost half of
my life now, so I’m very hurt
that this is happening.”
Aiden McCleskey, a ten-
derfoot Scout from Boy Scout
Troop 61 in Northwest Wash-
ington, wanted to “gather re-
sources” for Ukrainian civil-
ians who get caught in the
line of fire.
“I want to do this through
Boy Scouts because it is good,”
Aiden said. “A Scout is help-
ful, Ukraine is in a real time
of need, and I want to help as
much as I can.“
The emergency kits contain
vinyl gloves, surgical dress-
ing, gauze, butterfly closures,
heavy-duty bandages and an-
tibiotic ointment.
Steve Fox, assistant scout-
master for Boy Scout Troop
1434 in Potomac, said he was
proud of his Scouts for helping.
“Scouts around the world
pledge to do their best to
be kind and helpful, among
other qualities,” said Mr. Fox,
a retired U.S. Foreign Service
officer.

Court got this wrong, and its oral
ruling did not seem to consider
the detailed allegations in the
complaint, the full scope of the
anticompetitive agreements, the
decision of a federal court to allow
opening statements. Their first
witness was Matthew Struck, who
joined Mr. Griffin at the Capitol
and served as his videographer.
Mr. Struck has an immunity
deal with prosecutors for his
testimony.
In a court filing, prosecutors
called Mr. Griffin “an inflamma-
tory provocateur and fabulist who
engages in racist invective and
propounds baseless conspiracy
theories, including that Commu-
nist China stole the 2020 Presi-

Mr. Griffin’s attorneys say hun-

War hell
Biden wears a helmet,
takes bike ride at the beach
By Charles Hurt
O
ne of President Abraham Lincoln’s
greatest challenges prosecuting the
Civil War, he reportedly once la-
mented, was that all of his best generals
were otherwise occupied writing editorials for
newspapers across the North.
No one has ever compared President Biden to
Lincoln. But Mr. Biden faces a similar challenge as he
resists the ocean of bloodlust in Washington to go to
war against Russia in Ukraine. Luckily, Lincoln did
not have to contend with the brave warriors of Twit-
ter, or we would still be fighting the Civil War.
It has become a near-universal Truth in Washing-
ton today that the United States has a moral obliga-
tion to get into this conflict to defend the territorial
integrity of Ukraine — after more than 30 years of
ignoring our
own territorial

howls from the press jackals in Washington.
How dare we surrender to a freedom-killing bully
like Russian President Vladimir Putin, the warrior
journalists ask?
Serious question: Why are all these armchair gen-
erals fat, balding, moonfaced and prone to profuse
sweating even in air-conditioned newsrooms?
They are not exactly “tip of the spear” when it
comes to actual fighting. These people could not
battle their way out of a half-eaten bag of Doritos.
Yet they are delighted to urge Americans to send
their own sons to die in foreign wars that have no
bearing on U.S. national security interests. And they
come unglued at the mere mention that Mr. Zelen-
skyy might want to consider options to avoid the
annihilation of his entire civilian population.
Traitor! Russian propaganda! Putin stooge!
These charges often come from Republican
ranks these days or supposed “conservatives” who
only qualify as “conservative” in a twisted sewer
like Washington. They are the new “woke.” Proudly
beating their chests over their own vaunted virtue,
though actually accomplishing nothing.
President Biden on his bike

Strike that. The only thing they might accomplish
is prolonging carnage in Ukraine. But what the hell?
It’s not their children dying.
These so-called conservatives have adopted the
favorite playbook of The New York Times, Ameri-
can government apparatchiks and Democrats in
Congress who suffered a five-year psychotic episode
chasing phantoms about urinating hotel hookers,
Russian collusion and the most unhinged conspiracy
theories ever believed by man.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian women and children are
being slaughtered by Mr. Putin’s forces.
All the armchair war talk in America leaves such
a giant vacuum that it has fallen to the nation of Tur-
key to step in and try brokering a peace deal between
Ukraine and Russia. Indeed, America’s beacon of
freedom has been snuffed out.
Now, it turns out, Russia spent the past 20 years
developing hypersonic missiles that the United
States does not have. In fact, America doesn’t even
have defensive weapons that can keep up with Rus-
sia’s hypersonic missiles.
Thanks to these very same armchair warriors in
Washington, we spent the last 20 years losing a war
to goat herders in Afghanistan.
Obviously, nobody deserves more blame for all
the carnage than Mr. Biden himself. Few people in
Washington have been more central to the foreign
policy decisions that led to the situation we find our-
selves in today. And, of course, Mr. Biden deserves
every bit of the credit for his catastrophic withdrawal
from Afghanistan.
Thankfully, Mr. Biden took his 64th vacation from
the White House this past weekend to go bike riding
at the beach in Delaware.
He wore a helmet. But, as Captain Renault noted
about his own heart on the tarmac in Casablanca, Mr.
Biden’s head is his least vulnerable spot.

R
ussia’s invasion of
Ukraine serves as a
pointed reminder that
war is the greatest of man-
made disasters. Earning a place
on the same list of unseemly
human enterprises is one
largely unmentioned: govern-

relief dollars that Washington
has strewn across that national
landscape during the COVID-
19 pandemic has led to an as-
tounding level of fraud. The
consequences can’t be mea-
sured in ruined cities. Rather, it
manifests as erosion of public
trust in government, which is
almost as laborious to rebuild.

Make oil companies utility companies?
The high gas prices should make
Americans ask the fundamental
question: What is the difference be-
tween what a public, nonprofit utility
company provides and what a private,
for-profit oil company provides? After
all, they both sell energy to people.
The difference is that natural gas
and electricity are sold in the form of
a public good, whereas oil is sold in
the form of a private good. Accord-
ingly, on the grounds of promoting
national security, Congress should
convert all oil companies to utility
companies. This would eliminate the
windfall profits and force the oil in-
dustry to earn just enough income to
cover operating expenses. (Natural
gas and electric utility companies
are required to do this.) The result-
ing drop in gasoline prices would
further stimulate the economy and
lighten the energy stranglehold the
Middle East has on the U.S. It would
also eliminate the influence of the
oil lobby. Desperate times call for
deliberate measures. But as pathetic
as U.S. energy policy is, the effort to
develop alternative sources of energy
won’t really be accelerated until the
oil dries up and the Saudis place solar
cells across their desert, then sell us
the electricity.

fter 2020, election integrity is all the rage. That
A is a welcome change, but election integrity
involves grunt work. The grunt work is more
important than snazzy lawsuits that lose. Two
landmark court decisions in the last week represent real
progress toward cleaner elections.
Federal courts in Maine and Illinois handed down two
rulings to make elections more transparent. This is impor-
tant because so much of the 2020 election was shrouded
in bureaucratic defensiveness, outright secrecy and just
enough hide-the-ball to raise doubts about the outcome. 
First Illinois. In 2019, the Public Interest Legal Foun-
dation — which I head — asked Illinois for a copy of
state voter rolls. 
Voter rolls are the ultimate record representing who
state election officials think are eligible to vote. They
are an essential election integrity document. Unfortu-
nately, we have found rolls in other states filled with
dead registrants, folks who live in other states and even
voters registered up to seven times at a single address.
Of course, Illinois denied our request. After all, no
election official likes to hear how badly they do voter
list maintenance. Had we obtained the Illinois voter
rolls in 2019, we would have added them to our nation-
wide database before the critical 2020 election to see
who is registered in Illinois and other states at the same
time.  These rulings are important because obtaining voter
When Illinois denied our request, we sued, alleging
that the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 — often
called Motor Voter — made rolls public. This month,
the federal court agreed, granting us summary judgment

litigation that the top election official resigned over al-

No doubt Illinois won’t look good after we get the
rolls.
In other states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan,
we found tens of thousands of active dead registrants,
some dead for decades. Judith Presto was one of those
dead voters in Pennsylvania. Our database showed she

officials argued in federal court that a post-death regis-
tration, like Presto’s, had to be an error in our data, not a
mistake on their part. Ultimately, Presto’s husband was

Pennsylvania election officials knew about it — despite
criticizing it in court.

so dead can’t vote
and elections can’t be stolen
rolls are also public under Motor Voter. Remaining to
be decided in court is how much a state may punish and
fine groups like ours for using the rolls to find mistakes
and problems by election officials.
You read that right.
Maine might give you the voter rolls but has a law
that punishes and fines anyone who reports problems,
such as voters registered multiple times or registered

This is how far some states will go to hide the bad

rolls is the first step to holding election officials ac-
countable. So much energy and money were wasted
after the 2020 election on baseless election litigation.
Those cases hurt the cause.
Establishing that voter rolls are public records under
federal law allows groups to conduct real research and
careful nationwide analysis of where the problems are
the ball.
Once we have Maine and Illinois voter rolls, they
will be added to our nationwide database to reveal how
many problems are on the rolls. Those results go back
to election officials to help them fix the problems.
All of this illustrates that avoiding another 2020 elec-
tion doesn’t enjoy a silver bullet solution. Election integ-
rity is grunt work and requires careful judgment. Most
of all, it would sure help if election officials stopped
hiding their work.

NOTE: Copies of proposed plans, ordinances, amendments and applications, and related planning case materials may be examined by appointment in the Planning Division Office, Suite 700 , 2100 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA.
Appointments may be scheduled by contacting the Planning Division at (703) 228-3525 or cphd@arlingtonva.us; or text of proposed County Code amendments may be examined in the County Board Clerk’s Office, Suite 300; 2100 Clarendon
Blvd., Arlington, VA by contacting staff at (703) 228-3130. The term Site Plan in this notice refers to a Special Exception Site Plan as defined in the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance and is not the same as an engineering site plan or
construction plans submitted in satisfaction of other codes or ordinances. The terms ACZO and GLUP means Arlington County Zoning Ordinance and General Land Use Plan, respectively.

THE FOLLOWING CASES ARE TO BE HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION:

SUBJECT: Proposed resolution pursuant to Code of Virginia §15.2-2286 to increase established Department of Community Planning, Housing, and Development (DCPHD) Development Fund fees by an inflationary indicator of four percent
(4.0%); to establish a new fee for the review of Landscape Plans for one-and-two family dwellings, and to address technical corrections such as Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP) amendment applications and site plan resubmission
fees. All to be effective July 1, 2022, except where noted.

THE FOLLOWING CASES ARE TO BE HEARD BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNTY BOARD:

Adoption of the 2022 Clarendon Sector Plan, an update to the 2006 Sector Plan, and associated amendments to the General Land Use Plan (GLUP) and the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance (ACZO). The 2022 Clarendon Sector
Plan - An Update to the 2006 Clarendon Sector Plan includes updates to policies and design guidelines related to the future development within a study area generally defined as the area between Washington Boulevard, Kirkwood Road, 10th
Street North, and North Hudson Street, specifically related to Building Heights, Receiving Sites, Building Form, Use Mix, Public Spaces, Preservation, and Transportation, and other editorial, style, and graphic updates applicable to the entire
station area. The 2022 Plan, if adopted, would continue to provide planning guidance for the entire Clarendon Metro Station Area, superseding previous guidance within the 2022 study area included in the previously adopted 2006 version.
Through the use of diagrams, exhibits, maps, and narrative, the 2022 Plan establishes expectations for land use, transportation, building heights and form, preservation, urban design, and public spaces in a focused study area in a balanced
approach that considers certainty and flexibility. The updated draft of the Clarendon Sector Plan and its associated implementation proposals will be available online at: https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Projects/Plans-Studies/Land-
Use/Clarendon-Sector-Plan-Update

Street North and Wilson Boulevard, at the eastern corner of 10th Street North and Fairfax Drive, and at the northeast corner of 10th Street North and North Irving Street; change the land use designation for a site located at 3226 Washington
Boulevard from Semi-Public to Public; adjust blocks and street alignments, locations, and widths and remove previously planned street segments within the Clarendon Revitalization District to reflect the recommendations of the 2022
Clarendon Sector Plan; update references on the GLUP Map to the 2022 Clarendon Sector Plan and indicate the year of adoption; and add text to the GLUP Booklet describing the planning process for the 2022 Clarendon Sector Plan.

ZOA-2022-02 Amendments to ACZO Articles 3, 9, and 18, associated with the proposed 2022 Clarendon Sector Plan, to update references, make editorial changes for improved clarity, and implement updates to a portion of the

Duke too talented to let Krzyzewski retire just yet
BY JIM LITKE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mike Krzyzewski’s farewell
tour was thisclose to over.
Duke trailed Michigan State
70-65 with 5:10 left to play Sun-
day and there was next to noth-
ing he could do about it.
“I’m an Army guy,” recalled
Krzyzewski, who played for
Bobby
On basketball Knight
at West
Point and started his coaching
career there. “But it looked like
our ship was sinking.”
From the moment in June
when Krzyzewski announced
his 42nd season would be his
last, it was bound to be all about
him. And really, how could it
be otherwise? Coaches have
always been the enduring stars
of the college game and no one
since John Wooden lit up the
firmament like Coach K.
Now imagine being a kid in a
Blue Devils uniform and watch-
ing that light flicker.
“We can either lay down,”
freshman Paolo Banchero re-
called thinking, “or turn it up.”
Duke responded with a 20-6
run the rest of the way. The

lis are widely seen as the top two
passers in this year’s class. Wash-
ington holds the 11th overall pick.
A source said the Com-
manders sent vice president of
player personnel Marty Hur-
ney, offensive coordinator Scott
Turner, quarterbacks coach Ken
Zampese, defensive coordinator
Jack Del Rio and director of col-
lege personnel Tim Gribble for
Pittsburgh’s Pro Day.  Washington, the Denver Broncos
For the Commanders, the
quarterback scouting is likely
more due diligence than any-
thing else. Rivera told report-
ers last week that Wentz’s ac-
quisition doesn’t “preclude”
Washington from drafting a
quarterback, but he later told
The Athletic: “Why draft (a
quarterback at 11) unless there’s
a guy you’re in love with?” Rivera
has said he hopes Wentz proves
to be the Commanders’ long-term
solution at the position.
It makes sense why Washing-
ton would still look at this year’s
crop of quarterbacks, too. On the
chance that someone falls to the
second round, then maybe the up-
side would be worth using the 47th
pick on a passer. Washington only
has two quarterbacks on the roster
— Wentz and Taylor Heinicke — so
the team will likely need to add
another arm or two at some point.
Backups Kyle Allen and Garrett
Gilbert left this offseason for the

Raiders, respectively.  at no cost.  playing.”
Studying quarterbacks could
also be useful in case a team tries
to acquire the 11th pick to grab one
of them. Last year, the Chicago
Bears traded up from No. 20 to take

I have always admired the Mary-
land basketball program and
being named the new head coach
of one of the biggest brands in
college basketball is a tremen-
dous honor,” Willard said in a
statement.
The 46-year-old is expected to
oversee a rejuvenation of the Mary-
land program after its first losing
season in nearly three decades.
He replaces Mark Turgeon,
who resigned in early Decem-
ber, and said he understands the
expectations of Maryland fans,
who grew frustrated with Tur-
geon’s lack of deep postseason
success.
“I know how Terp fans feel
about their team and understand
their expectations,” Willard said.
“I can promise Terp Nation we
will work to make them proud
of this basketball team.”
The son of former Pittsburgh
and Holy Cross coach Ralph Wil-
lard, the Long Island, New York,
native played for his dad with
the Panthers before joining Rick
Pitino’s Boston Celtics staff in
1997. Willard followed Pitino to
Louisville before taking the top
a drive to the biggest bucket of
the night for a 75-74 lead. Jeremy
Roach followed with a 3-pointer
to stretch the lead to four with
1:16 left. Krzyzewski won’t of-
ficially become a spectator until
this one last run through the
NCAA Tournament ends with a
loss, but he’s already learning to
enjoy the view.
“You guys were terrific,
man,” Krzyzewski told the play-
ers sitting alongside him after
Duke notched an 85-76 win over
the Spartans to advance to the
Sweet 16 and a matchup with
Texas Tech. “I’m so — I’m really
proud to be your coach.”
Coach K has been hoarse
since the tournament started,
but he insisted on making a
point. “It had nothing to do
with coaching in those last
four or five minutes,” he said.
“It all had to do with heart and
togetherness.”
That might be overstating
the case, since talent is a more
reliable measure of success
than emotion. But not in every
case.
Just ask 10th-seeded Miami,
which handcuffed Auburn’s
Jabari Smith and Walker Kes-
sler — both likely NBA lottery
picks — en route to the day’s
biggest upset, a 79-61 beatdown
quarterback Justin Fields at No.

received a haul of picks: No. 20,
No. 164, a future first and fourth.
If the Commanders do part with
the pick, they have to know what
exactly they’re giving up.
In total, nine first-round picks
have already been traded this year
because of past deals. The Giants,
for instance, hold the seventh pick,

to the Fields trade.  All eight playoff teams in the

With the Gaels, Willard took
over a then 2-28 program and
led them to a 20-win mark in just
three seasons. He left Iona in 2010
for the Seton Hall job.
Willard’s hire has the backing
of former Maryland coach and
Basketball Hall of Famer Gary
Williams, who cited his success
in a tough conference like the
Big East.
“Kevin Willard was a proven
winner in the Big East while at
Seton Hall. The intensity level
of his teams reflect the passion
that Kevin will bring to our
team and the university,” Wil-
liams said.
Led by assistant coach Danny
Manning after Turgeon’s midsea-
son departure, Maryland finished
the season under .500 (15-17) for
the first time since the program’s
12-16 mark in the 1992-93 cam-
paign. The Terrapins have made
the second round of the NCAA
Tournament four times since 2015
but only have one Sweet 16 ap-
pearance in that span.
Willard will be introduced
at a press conference at Xfinity
Center at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Eight of the West’s top nine
teams made moves, starting with
the conference-leading Colorado
Avalanche landing Montreal’s
Artturi Lehkonen, who is con-
sidered one of the best 200-foot
wingers in hockey. The only con-
tender to not make a trade was
salary cap-strapped and injury
depleted Vegas, which sits eighth.
The Eastern Conference teams
were busy, too, taking advantage
of one last chance in focusing
mostly on addressing depth and
defensive needs.
The salary cap, which has
stayed flat at $81.5 million, played
a factor, with a majority of the
trades involving players eligi-
ble to become unrestricted free
agents this summer with draft
picks going back in return.
The East-leading Carolina
Hurricanes acquired forward
Max Domi in a trade with Co-
lumbus just before the deadline.
Domi has topped 40 points in
four of his seven NHL seasons.
“We’ve been looking for some-
body to complement our forward
group, the top nine, and felt that
this was a perfect fit for us,” Hur-
ricanes general manager Don
Waddell said of Domi, who nine

average of 8.4 turnovers per
game — and a frenzied crowd
behind it.
But the Badgers ominously
gave the ball away eight times
in the first half alone and didn’t
shoot much better. Davis was 0
for 7 from 3-point range and his
teammates weren’t much better,
just 2 for 15.
“Shot the ball uncharacter-
istically poor today. Turned
the ball over. We’re No. 1 in
the country in fewest turn-
overs. Today,” coach Greg Gard
summed up, “we were not.”
If it’s any consolation, two
more Big Ten teams joined the
Badgers in heading for the exit.
Seventh-seeded Ohio State
pulled within 60-58 of No. 2 Vil-
lanova with just under six min-
utes left and then went colder
than cold. Instead of panicking,
the Wildcats got two turnovers
and cranked up the defense,
pulling away to a 71-61 victory
as the Buckeyes missed six of
their final seven shots from the
floor.
Coach Jay Wright has been

acquired Zach Aston-Reese,
Dominik Simon, prospect goalie
Calle Clang and a second-round
draft pick.
The eighth-place Capitals
made two moves at wing, with
Marcus Johansson returning to
Washington for a second stint
following a trade with Seattle and
Johan Larsson arriving in a deal
with Arizona.
The New York Rangers added
size to their defense by acquir-
ing Justin Braun in a trade with
Philadelphia.
Of the trades completed, the
Wild’s addition of Fleury could
well be the most meaningful in
seeking to address one of the
league’s widest disparities: Min-
nesota ranks third in the NHL in
averaging 3.67 goals per outing,
and 22nd in allowing 3.2 goals
per game.
In acquiring Fleury, who won
a Vezina Trophy a year ago with
Vegas, Minnesota traded backup
goalie Kaapo Kahkonen and a
fifth-round draft pick to San Jose
for defenseman Jake Middleton.
Kahkonnen had a 12-8-3 record
this season and was 0-5-1 with
21 goals allowed in his past six
starts. The Wild also grabbed a
second-round pick this summer
from the rebuilding Coyotes for
unsigned prospect Jack McBain.
