Cinquante ans après sa sortie, il est temps de (re)lire «Dune»

Etienne Augé — 30 juillet 2015 à 17h54

Détail de l'affiche de «Dune» de David Lynch

Le roman de Frank Herbert reste important pour comprendre notre époque.

Dune, le livre mythique de Frank Herbert, célèbre cette année ses 50 ans. L’occasion de revenir sur un roman visionnaire, qui a engendré de nombreuses adaptations et tentatives cinématographiques, des jeux, des suites plus ou moins réussies, mais surtout dont l’influence a marqué plusieurs générations de lecteurs. S’il est peut-être moins connu que d’autres univers de science fiction comme Star Wars ou Star Trek, Dune est pourtant tout aussi riche et peut-être même encore plus important pour comprendre notre époque.

Frank Herbert, créateur de mondes

Né dans l’Etat de Washington en 1920, Herbert est un libre penseur qui s’intéresse à beaucoup de choses mais assez peu à ses études. Il ne finira pas l’université et deviendra journaliste free-lance, son épouse qui travaille dans la publicité lui permettant d’avoir du temps pour réfléchir à ses projets.

Inspiré par le travail de Carl Jung sur la mythologie, mais aussi par le zen bouddhiste et les romans de science fiction de H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein ou Jack Vance, Herbert s’inspire d’un reportage sur les dunes de l’Oregon pour commencer son grand œuvre, Dune, l’histoire d’une planète qui produit l’Epice, matière la plus précieuse de l’univers, nécessaire à la navigation interstellaire mais aussi à la transe spirituelle. Il faudra six ans à Herbert pour achever son livre, qui engendrera plusieurs suites d’abord écrites par lui, puis par son fils Brian. Dune recevra en 1966 les deux prix les plus prestigieux de la science-fiction, le Hugo et le Nebula. Ses ventes ont dépassé les 12 millions d’exemplaires, ce qui en fait le best-seller le plus vendu de la science fiction.

Une saga des étoiles

Créer des mondes est fréquent en science-fiction, mais Herbert a imaginé une cosmogonie qui n’a peut-être d’égal que, dans le genre de la fantasy, Tolkien et son Seigneur des anneaux. Dans Dune, plusieurs maisons aristocratiques, certaines remontant à la Grèce antique, se disputent l’Epice, et Herbert décrit ces querelles militaires et diplomatiques complexes en y rajoutant de nombreuses organisations aux intérêts divers comme la CHOM, Compagnie des Honnêtes Ober Marchands, désireuse de contrôler le marché de l’Epice, la Guilde spatiale, qui possède le privilège du transport interstellaire, et surtout le Bene Gesserit, un ordre religieux qui travaille depuis des générations à l’avènement du Kwisatz Haderach, le sauveur-prophète qui dirigera l’univers.

Herbert est précis dans ses descriptions mais jamais pesant. Il introduit également de nombreux personnages féminins forts, dans un genre souvent macho, et invente une science-fiction plus spirituelle qu’attachée au progrès technologique, ce qui le différencie de manière spectaculaire des poids lourds du genre comme Isaac Asimov et ouvre la voie à des auteurs comme Philip K. Dick. Frank Herbert rafraîchit la science fiction en rappelant que le plus important dans le genre reste l’imaginaire, et souligne que «science sans conscience n’est que ruine de l’âme». Il remet l’homme au centre du récit de science-fiction au détriment de la machine, qui reprend sa place accessoire.

Le meilleur film de l’univers

Un flyer pour le Dune de Jodorowsky, signé Mœbius. (Via Wikimedia Commons).

Cet aspect hautement spirituel n’a pas échappé au chilien Alejandro Jodorowsky. Réalisateur surréaliste, «Jodo» décide d’adapter Dune en 1975 alors même qu’il ne l’a jamais lu. Le récit de la production d’un film qui ne sera hélas jamais produit est relaté dans un documentaire captivant sorti en 2013, Jodorowsky's Dune. Selon le documentaire, Jodorowsky avait réuni le casting le plus impressionnant qui soit, rassemblant tous les «guerriers» dont le réalisateur iconoclaste avait besoin pour concrétiser sa vision.

L’Empereur aurait été joué par Salvador Dali, poussé à accepter le rôle par sa muse de l’époque, Amanda Lear, qui aurait incarné la fille de l’Empereur, la Princesse Irulan. Le Baron Harkonnen aurait eu les traits d’Orson Welles, charmé par la promesse d’avoir son cuisinier attitré pendant le tournage. La musique aurait été conçue par Pink Floyd et le groupe français Magma. Enfin, le storyboard aurait été dessiné par le génial dessinateur Moebius/Jean Giraud, épaulé par l’artiste suisse Giger. Une telle combinaison de talents ne pouvait que convaincre les producteurs, dont le français Michel Seydoux, enthousiasmé par le génie tourbillonnant de Jodorowsky. Malheureusement, le film ne se fera pas, les quelques millions manquants étant refusés par des studios hollywoodiens convaincus du casting «all stars», mais effrayé par la personnalité du réalisateur chilien d’El Topo ou de La Montagne sacrée.

Le documentaire s’achève sur une extraordinaire impression de gâchis devant cette ambition de réaliser un film qui aurait «surpassé même 2001: l’odyssée de l’espace». Star Wars, en 1977, donnera tort à ceux qui pensaient que la science-fiction n’était pas rentable, et le film de George Lucas emprunte nombre d’éléments au film maudit de Jodorowsky.

Dune se fait lyncher

Dune continue de fasciner en tant que projet cinématographique. Le producteur italien Dino De Laurentiis en acquiert les droits en 1976 et charge le britannique Ridley Scott de diriger le film en se basant sur un scénario écrit par Frank Herbert lui-même. Scott ne réalisera pas le film pour raisons personnelles et préférera diriger son propre film de science fiction en 1982, Blade Runner, son chef-d’œuvre, considéré par beaucoup comme le plus grand film de science-fiction avec 2001 de Kubrick, sorti en 1968.

Dune est un univers riche, et le livre regorge de trésors qui passent mal à l’écran

Dune se fera finalement sous la direction de David Lynch en 1984. Le résultat n’est pas à la hauteur des attentes des fans de Dune ou même de Lynch, mais l’atmosphère baroque et très datée eighties n’est pas le désastre que Jodorowsky a décrit dans le documentaire consacré au récit de son échec. Le chanteur Sting y joue un Harkonnen roux et arrogant, Kyle MacLachlan commence sa carrière en campant un Paul Atréides convaincant et on trouve même Patrick Stewart en Gurney Halleck, alors même que l’homme de théâtre britannique commence à se faire connaître du grand public par son personnage de Jean-Luc Picard dans Star Trek: The Next Generation. L’acteur suédois Max von Sydow est le seul véritable poids lourd de cette production, bien qu’il joue le rôle secondaire du planétologiste impérial Liet Kynes.

Le groupe Toto fournit une bande originale honnête, les décors et les costumes sont audacieux mais la critique ne suit pas, tout comme le public. Le Dune de Lynch est un échec et le réalisateur américain ne dirigera pas ses nombreuses suites prévues initialement. Dune est un univers riche, et le livre regorge de trésors qui passent mal à l’écran.

Revoir le Jihad

Si on peut faire l’économie de revoir le Dune de Lynch, il est passionnant de relire Dune en 2015. L’histoire d’hommes du désert qui partent à la conquête de l’univers au nom du Jihad possède une connotation différente de nos jours par rapport à l’époque où Frank Herbert a décrit leur expansion depuis leur planète d’origine. Herbert utilise de nombreux mots empruntés à l’arabe et l’on devine sans peine qu’il s’est inspiré de plusieurs pays moyen-orientaux et des touaregs pour imaginer ses «fremens», les hommes des sables conquérants de l’univers sous la houlette de leur messie.

A l’heure où parler de djihad fait peur, alors que l’Etat islamique menace la civilisation, la fable de Herbert apparaît comme prophétique ou blasphématoire. Il faut surtout se concentrer sur la formidable analyse de la religion que Herbert fournit, notamment avec la Missionaria Protectiva, le bras armé du Bene Gesserit, chargé d’implanter des superstitions qui se transformeront en prophéties autoréalisatrices. Herbert démontre comment la religion peut être exploitée à des fins politiques, et son propos n’est une fois encore pas de prôner la domination des «peuples du désert» sur le reste de l’univers, mais bien d’avertir des dangers de se laisser aller sans aller de l’avant.

La science-fiction possède cette capacité de faire réfléchir en avertissant des dangers qui menacent notre monde à court et long terme. Les Fremens triomphent et dominent l’univers, non pas parce qu’ils sont menés par un messie, mais parce qu’ils rejettent toute facilité liée à un monde pseudo-moderne. Ce sont les barbares, au sens grec du terme, réjuvénant la civilisation, devenue trop molle en restant sur ses acquis et où les relations dominant-dominé sont acceptées depuis des siècles comme des conventions inaltérables.

La fin programmée des machines pensantes?

Frank Herbert évoque également dans Dune un «Jihad Butlérien» qui a anéanti les machines pensantes. Les commandements de la Bible Catholique Orange, religion dominante de Dune, indiquent clairement que «Tu ne feras point de machine à l’esprit de l’Homme semblable», et les tâches réservées aux ordinateurs de nos jours sont effectuées par des humains spécialement choisis et entraînés afin de devenir des «mentats». On n’apprend véritablement les raisons du Jihad Butlérien que dans les livres publiés par le fils de Frank Herbert, Brian: l’assassinat de Manion Butler par le robot pensant Erasme, qui conduit à la rébellion des humains réduits jusque-là en esclavage.

Frank Herbert a repris un thème cher à la science fiction, où les machines dépassent l’homme et deviennent son adversaire, que ce soit dans Colossus: The Forbin Project, WarGames, Terminator ou Matrix. On peut également émettre l’hypothèse qu’un homme comme Herbert, sensible à l’écologie et à la place de l’homme dans l’environnement, se soit méfié de machines qui éloigneraient l’humanité de sa nature. Herbert rejoint ainsi de nombreux experts actuels, comme Elon Musk ou Stephen Hawkins, qui estiment que l’intelligence artificielle est une menace pour l’humanité.

Selon Ashlee Vance, biographe d’Elon Musk, le génial entrepreneur, que l’on compare souvent au fictionnel Tony Stark, était un fervent lecteur de science fiction, y compris Dune. Musk développe aujourd’hui toute une série de projets extrêmement audacieux, de la colonisation de Mars aux voitures électriques en passant par les lanceurs spatiaux et les trains à très haute vitesse. Pourtant, le milliardaire se méfie des machines pensantes et a récemment donné 7 millions de dollars à 37 équipes de recherches afin de parer aux dangers potentiels de l’intelligence artificielle. Elon Musk n’est qu’un des nombreux lecteurs des œuvres de Frank Herbert, mais il prouve avec brio que la science-fiction est un genre qui peut sauver le monde. Ou tout du moins, contribuer à le remettre en question et à le transformer.

Dune mérite un film à sa hauteur, qui le placerait dans les étoiles, au même niveau que Star Wars, Blade Runner ou 2001. En regardant Jodorowsky’s Dune, on se prend à espérer que cette version reprendra vie un jour. Nicholas Winding Refn, présent dans le documentaire, consacre en ce moment un documentaire à Jodorowsky, qui lui aurait expliqué en détail son projet pour l’adaptation au cinéma de Dune. Peut-être, devant l’enthousiasme débordant de Refn, Dune sera porté à l’écran dans le futur par le génial réalisateur danois? Et pourquoi pas produit par Elon Musk? Lui saura trouver les millions manquants pour permettra l'aboutissement du «plus grand film jamais réalisé».

Part of that effect may come from its on-location sets and beautifully framed shots, and Max Schreck’s performance as the titular monster certainly factors into its legacy. Yet another spooky aspect is the film’s soundtrack, which has been adapted and reimagined over the years. This Halloween, guests can head to the Music Box Theatre for a screening set to a live soundtrack from the Curse of the Vampire Orchestra, by Minneapolis composer Philip Shorey. The score features a local symphony and choral musicians mixed with modern electronica and industrial percussion. 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18-19; 3:30 p.m. Oct. 19. Free; RSVP required.

MN Toy Posse Image courtesy event organizers MN Toy Posse Halloween Bash 3 What happens when you combine 70 toy sellers from all over the Midwest, hundreds of toy fans of all ages, and thousands of rare and unique toys and collectables? You get one giant posse. This weekend, the Minnesota Toy Posse will host its third-annual Halloween Bash toy swap. Posse founder Mark Seekamp started the group a little over three years ago on Facebook as a way to help connect people looking to buy, sell, or trade their favorite toys. He hadn’t planned on just how many people would want to join his gang. “We have more than 2,200 members, and it’s a really active group,” he says. And it’s not just about toys, either. “We’ve become friends and talk about our lives. People will post pictures when they have a baby, or we’ll just use it to meet up and go see a movie. It’s about creating relationships beyond just looking for toys.” For Seekamp, the best part of the day is how toys can bring people together. “The coolest part is being able to see someone who is going to be really excited about a toy that you have that you’re ready to part with.” 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 20.

What's new in Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Last year, GTA III took the world with surprise. While the first two activity in the chain had a little, hard-core following, their simple 2D graphics and lack of a focused narrative structure limited their application. On the other hand, Grand Theft Auto 3 featured a massive, clockwork world which was really amazing to see, and it improved the predecessors' free-roaming, nonlinear target also created a much more compelling story in the process. Those improvements, coupled with amazing vehicle physics, a surprising total of diversity in the gameplay, with an excellent feel of approach, made GTA3 a fugitive hit and one of the few activity to remains received with both great and relaxed game players similar. But as good as Grand Theft Auto III is, another game in the series, GTA VC, improves on this. Vice City expands on the designs and views found in GTA 3, fixes several of the trivial issues in the last game, then puts lots of new powers and pieces to play with. All this comes together to create one of the most stylish and most enjoyable games ever released.

The new GTA game is set in a fictional take on Miami, Florida, known as Vice City. The season is 1986, and Tommy Vercetti has really been published from prison like organizing a 15-year stretch for the mob. The mob--more in particular, the Forelli family--appreciates Tommy's refusal to cry in exchange regarding a minor sentence, and so they throw him down to Vice City to found around new businesses. Tommy's first succession of commercial in Vice City is to report a large sum of cocaine to work with. Yet Tommy's first drug deal goes sour, leaving him without money, no cocaine, and no idea who wronged him. The mafia is, certainly, angry in the whole situation, and now Tommy has to make up to the loss before the gangsters fall from Liberty City to clean in the mess. As Tommy, you'll surprise the study, discover who ripped people away, take care of commerce, and established look with Vice City in the giant, great way. Oh, and you'll also take taxis, get involved in a turf war between the Cubans and also the Haitians, help a Scottish rock group named Love Fist, become a pizza delivery boy, smash up the local mall, demolish a shape to real estate values, catch up with a biker gang, run an adult film studio, remove a reservoir, and much, much more.

While Grand Theft Auto is definitely a violent, mature-themed series, it has always considered the violent crime with an total amount of tongue-in-cheek humor and fashion. Vice City is no exception, showing a exaggerated opinion on the 1980s that makes use of many the loud pop-culture stereotypes found in pictures with box in the few years. The drug-laced tale recalls such films like Scarface with television shows like Miami Vice. The comedy comes mainly from the radio, which really takes family the almost form-over-function mentality which many people associate with the '80s. Some of the game's major characters are a supply of comic relief, from the Jim Bakker-like Pastor Richards to the Steven Spielberg-like porn director Steve Scott. The playoffs large toss of appeals is bright and wonderful. For example, local drug kingpin Ricardo Diaz is always hilariously breaking great and cursing wildly when anyone happen to meet him. Ken Rosenberg is your own fidgety coke-fiend lawyer friend, and he finds you started in city by growing you connected with the city's major players. Lance Vance, appropriately voiced by Miami Vice alum Philip Michael Thomas, becomes the sidekick of types, as both of you chase vengeance to your own reasons. The Cuban gang contact, Umberto Robina, is regularly reminding people how much of the man he is, and most in the Cuban team members you'll run into are alike inclined.

Stylistically, the game near an appropriate portrayal of the average '80s crime saga. Like now Miami Vice, many of the spirits are wearing pastel goes with. The sport vehicles also install the payment, with a lot of basic sedans united at home with cars that air enough like Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris to deliver to the real point. Nothing on the cars are passed, of course, though in the wonderful touch, some of the cars are earlier models of vehicles to was found with GTA III. Supporters of the preceding game can certainly appreciate little stuff like this then the other occasional links for the humanity of GTA III, that really stop this modern Grand Theft Auto game feel like portion of a unified universe.

So famous as the game's demonstration and utilization of its supply data are, without a collection of gameplay improvements, this would hold remained little more than a mission pack with a touch-up job. But Rockstar North has surely been difficult at work in this region. The most obvious addition is the inclusion of various types of motorcycles among all the cars on the road. There's a decent variety of two-wheelers in the game, including mopeds, street bikes, dirt cycles, with large hogs. As you'd demand, the bikes feel a lot differently in one another. The standard street bike is a good mix of rush and maneuverability. The good choppers are harder to push, yet state ludicrous top speeds. You'll get tossed away from a bike in almost any collision, which costs a little of health or armor. That becomes them pretty much useless in a location that means dodging the police. But they're incredibly handy in any vision to wants fly, with since you can draw a lot of fancy tricks on them, they're also a lot of fun to drive around.

You'll also perform little race into Vice City. After moving through a number of key plot points, you'll available the western world half of Vice City, that is locked apart in the onset due to hurricane warnings. After that, you'll encounter vision to allowed anyone fly a jet about the city. You'll and get a number of different helicopters here and there. Travel around the city is very impressive, and it showcases the game's engine quite well--you could get for miles when you're ahead inside heavens. While some of the city's skyscrapers are far too high to get over, you can country the choppers by many in the playoffs buildings. Expect to find a few of the game's hidden items put left within these forms of difficult-to-reach areas.

Some new person actions have survived put into the game as well. Pressing L3 will join Tommy in a crouched view. This allows you remove cover behind things with picks up the shooting accuracy. You can and jump out of step vehicles, which useful for ditching cars or bikes into the ocean, breaking a burning vehicle, or just ramming empty cars into other vehicles for kicks. Like wrecking a motorcycle, bailing from a car causes some bodily harm. You can also enter certain buildings now. While the interior sites are little in amount and typically extraneous, they stare good and are used to effectively create a city that's even more realistic than GTAIII's Liberty City. You'll be able to go into the hotel then flow right upstairs to help ones bedroom. You can also insert a club, a reel club, the Vice City mall, and several other houses. There are load times associated with entering certain buildings, but they're pretty brief.

Many of the game's story missions are more interested than those associated with GTAIII. Grand Theft Auto III had plenty of missions where you necessary to make one thing or get somebody somewhere and then return for your reward. You might get those kinds of missions in Vice City, although the majority of the original game's missions are multiple-part event which require over just go starting top A to level B then to position A. Some pieces are clean extensions, like as maybe having to stay a respray shop after moving a job. However, other missions are more included also want the use of more-advanced tactics. For case, one mission wants you to place a bomb inside a mall of which occurs swarming with cops. To do so, you'll first need a barely heat chasing after you. You'll then advance the cops in a garage, where you'll ambush them with understand among the uniforms so you can pose as a cop, which makes getting into the roughly guarded mall possible. After you've taken concentration of thing on the mall, you'll then must escape and get all the way to the hideout.

The objective live well designed for the most part. The noticeably longer average mission length is great, still this could become a foundation of rare frustration, since failure in the mission means having to replay every aspect until you get it right. Moving back to a vision subject becomes easier than ever before, while. In GTAIII, you'd restart in a clinic or police station and be compelled to bargain a car with hightail that time for a quest area, which could take a while. Wearing Vice City, a cab appears near the respawn direct, and also, for a smaller price, it will guide people to the last mission briefing question you went to. Unfortunately, since you're generally going to want to grab some supports plus about armor before going back in most missions, you'll still need to drive over to the local Ammu-Nation first. That would have been there wonderful if you would have benefited from the taxis to address that measure from the process also. At any rate, while the game definitely takes their piece of tough missions, the average mission difficulty looks like a mark or two easier with Vice City than during Grand Theft Auto 3, and so people must have to do too many missions too often. Though, overall, Vice City's stage of effort is comparable to which on the preceding game, due to increased tenacity for the police in their endeavor to help spoil you.

Close to the amendment for the vision themselves, the playoffs mission building is very different from which from the earlier Grand Theft Auto games. With earlier installments, you were given a pretty clear-cut path to follow--you may also have many mission options by any given time, and you consistently understood exactly what to do then and also pro whom. In Vice City, you'll spend the first portion in the game undertaking objective for others, much like in GTA III. But when the city is yours, you'll be working for yourself, going with respect the defense racket in track and determining yourself as the town's new boss.

Eventually, you'll even be able to go out and get various properties, that begins happy new quest. For case, when you buy the taxi company, you'll open up a series of taxi-related missions that happen break from the surface vision which you can handle by entering any taxi. Once you've completed a property's missions, that property may launch make money for you. That reality means that money eventually turns into a nonissue--as it should be for any self-respecting crime lord--since the various properties will also have some funds for you. All you need to do is travel in to all of these and collect from time to time. There are several other properties to purchase, including the film business, the Malibu Beat, and a car dealership. All the secondary-mission types from GTA III have benefited, such as vigilante missions, taxi missions, fire truck missions, and ambulance missions. New to Vice City is the ability to do on the limited type of scooter and present pizza. Pizza is saved while in motion using the same mechanics you'd normally spent for drive-by shootings, only however you throw pizza pies on customers.

While the influence in Vice City remains generally just like that of GTAIII, the feeling of the game's various cars feels really different, because game's frequent driving sequences seem much more exciting and dangerous. Perhaps in part due to the difference of generation period, many the cars feel a lot looser traveling and often understand beat in quite a bit easier. That offers much of the game the kind of car-flipping, explosion-filled quality you'd expect coming from a episode of The A-Team. And once you factor in the new gift for you--or other in-game characters--to take out tires, handling becomes an even bigger issue. Vehicles with blown tires are really difficult to control, making car chases to very much tougher when you have a flat (or many). And as if cars weren't dangerous enough, a bike with a blown roll is almost useless, as it usually spins ready with places you in the handlebars whenever people try and achieve any serious speed. One of the tougher vision take anyone looking for a tandem with even tires back to a rider but while remaining pursued by angry thugs.

Cars break apart in an more spectacular fashion this time around. Along with holding away tires, you can smash up cars with your melee weapons now. Ride way up then giving in a car's hood with your baseball bat is usually a good way to urge the inhabitants to vacate the vehicle in a hurry. You can also burst out car windows and even hit people inside the car with your shots. That causes a huge difference when it comes to holding off cars, as you can now focus on the rolls to slow down the vehicle down and then remove the driver with a well-placed rifle shot.

As mentioned, the police have become a much more formidable risk than they were now GTA 3, especially since they have the ability to take away the rolls upon the getaway vehicle. Attempting to jump in a car and donate the area of an crime usually gives the cops ample time to take out one of the tires. On elevated levels of response, the police will set up spike strips to take off all the tires. Of course, they'll also established standard bars also make all the points the GTAIII cops did, including ignore most standard traffic violations. Though, with Vice City, mixing up a serious ruckus will get the rob plus the FBI by your case. Helicopters will also chase after you. Now around, SWAT teams may in fact rappel out of the helicopters, getting them more dangerous. If you can manage to download gta 5 apk get a clean aimed with a chopper's cockpit, though, you can consider one decrease with individual win. In the main level of law enforcement response, the throng once again rolls tanks onto the street, making your chance of survival slim. All this means that, as in GTA III, many encounters with the confidence with Vice City can be really exciting. But, one spot for the law record is the idea that the cops still do not deal with elevation changes particularly good. If you encounter a square shed and give the first or second floor, the police officer aren't intelligent enough to get their means up to face you. They'll still hold firing in your general direction, while there are several blocks and roofs among you then the detectives. But you'll encounter such a thing really rarely amidst many, many memorable with strong chases and shoot-outs.

While there are a lot more systems with Vice City, the free arsenal hasn't really changed that significantly overall. The most obvious additions are in the melee weapon department--or, rather, the hardware department. You can head to a hardware stock with grab a screwdriver, a split, a trusty baseball bat, or a machete. You'll also get additional melee weapons in different chunk on the city. Arriving at the greens, for example, is that simple find a golf club. You can as well perceive a chainsaw, which is famous in principle, but surprisingly unsatisfying in action. Systems are beaten up in another categories. Your basic attack rifle will be a Ruger, but later on you'll be able to acquire a M16. You can have one stick within both grade, so gather winning a good M16 will replace the Ruger, getting a golf club can restore the baseball bat, and so on. The number of weapons closely mirrors GTAIII's set, just now with more types of pistols, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns, sniper firearms, and flung explosives.

You'll work your way upward from simple weapons up to deadlier versions. For example, the Tec-9 is a quality submachine gun, but later on you'll be able to accept a MP5K, that receives a considerably closer rate of fire. Later still, you'll be able to wield rocket launchers, a flamethrower, an M60 machine gun, or perhaps a Gatling gun. Different weapons have different weights, and your movement rate may suffering from the gun you're holding. Having a gun or a submachine gun lets you go on by whole speed. Busting exposed the shotgun or rifle prevents a person by sprinting, but you could go generally. And the severe weapons cause you to lumber around sluggishly. The aim system by GTAIII has been changed a bit for Vice City, making it easier to target opponents with honor the video camera by making too crazy when you're locked to a board.

Vice City and increases on Grand Theft Auto 3 graphically. The only difficulty with the graphics is the body rate's predisposition to bog down while you've catch a blunder of law enforcement swarming all about you, making flight to significantly harder. But thinking that problem is no worse in Vice City than it was in Grand Theft Auto III, and that the game looks a good bit better overall than GTA 3, it's not really a big deal. The entire aspect of the game is quite different from their predecessor overall, but technically, this new Grand Theft Auto game allows a much cleaner appearance. The character styles become superior looking, with the animation--some of it reused from GTA 3--looks great. Some of the highlights include jacking a motorcycle on the front, which lead to Tommy to execute a wing jump stop to taps the rider dust down the bike. Jack a bicycle on the quality, and misery deliver an elbow on the experience with the rider.

The pull distance is a lot farther away now about as well, meaning you can see a greater distance down the road than you might in GTA 3. This is even more noticeable when you're flying high above the city and can see most the way around to the different piece of it. But you'll even see as only run the street, especially when you give up a stir car watching it cruise off outside with its. Outside of in which, the playoffs textures are light with vibrant, properly reflecting what '80s-era Miami should look like. Nearby shops are laced with neon that glows nicely at night. You'll also notice bunches of immense little touches, such as the spark of sunshine down the panes of neighborhood cars.

GTA3's sound played a crucial role with adjusting the tone to the total game. The expression acting used throughout the history segments effectively shared the offense report, and the radio produced the soundtrack to go with the action. Vice City's sound is a dramatic advance in GTAIII's already amazing appears. The game's cast is top-notch. The main change in the state product lives to, unlike in GTA 3, the front integrity in Vice City speaks. Tommy Vercetti's state is given by Ray Liotta (Blow, Muppets Through Space), who does a great duty of earning the character to life. The rest of the voice talent--which includes Gary Busey, Dennis Hopper, David Paymer, Danny Trejo, Luis Guzman, Philip Michael Thomas, and retired adult film actress Jenna Jameson--also does a very good trade. The playoffs positive effects are top-notch. Everything from explosions to gunfire just sounds outstanding.

The radio stations in Vice City are incredibly well done. The '80s music entirely on the locations really helps agreed the tone for the overall game. You'll find tons of belts with designers, including Quiet Riot, Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth, Herbie Hancock, Judas Priest, and Frankie Goes

We describe the PC game Grand Theft Auto VC

Last year, Grand Theft Auto III took the world in surprise. While the first two games in the chain had a small, hard-core monitor, their basic 2D artwork and lack of a focused narrative structure control the request. On the other hand, GTA3 featured a massive, clockwork world which was really remarkable to consider, and it refined its predecessors' free-roaming, nonlinear layout also swollen a far more compelling story in the process. Those improvements, coupled with amazing vehicle physics, a bombshell amount of class in the gameplay, also a great perception of cut, made Grand Theft Auto III a fugitive hit and one in the extraordinary match that happens acknowledged by both great and relaxed game players similar. But as good as GTA III is, the next game in the sequence, Grand Theft Auto VC, improves after it. Vice City expands on the designs and strategies found in Grand Theft Auto 3, fixes some of the teenager issues in the last game, then adds many new powers and items to tease with. It all comes together to form one of the most stylish and most enjoyable games ever released.

The new Grand Theft Auto game is set in a fictional take on Miami, Florida, known as Vice City. The season is 1986, and Tommy Vercetti say now happened announced by jail after accomplish a 15-year stretch to the mob. The mob--more particularly, the Forelli family--appreciates Tommy's refusal to cry in exchange for a lower sentence, so they send him into Vice City to launch some fresh business. Tommy's first sequence of subject with Vice City is to gain a greater amount of cocaine to operate with. But Tommy's first drug trade goes sour, causing him without money, no cocaine, and no idea which wronged him. The mafia is, naturally, angry on the entire situation, now Tommy has to make up with the decline before the gangsters come down from Liberty City to clean in the mess. As Tommy, you'll surprise the investigation, decide that flew people down, take care of responsibility, also create store with Vice City in the big, big way. Oh, and you'll and make taxis, get involved in a turf battle between Cubans along with the Haitians, befriend a Scottish rock group named Love Fist, become a pizza delivery boy, smash up the local mall, demolish a form to real estate prices, hook up with a biker gang, run an adult film studio, remove a level, and much, much more.

While Grand Theft Auto has become a violent, mature-themed series, it has always calculated the chaotic crime with an total volume of tongue-in-cheek humor with cut. Vice City is no different, providing the exaggerated picture in the 1980s that makes use of many the loud pop-culture stereotypes found in tape with television from the decade. The drug-laced tale recalls such records as Scarface and tv program like Miami Vice. The comedy comes mainly from the radio, that really gets home the type of form-over-function mentality which many people link with the '80s. Some of the game's main characters are a spring of comic relief, in the Jim Bakker-like Pastor Richards to the Steven Spielberg-like porn director Steve Scott. The playoffs large cast of appeals is interesting and remarkable. For example, local drug kingpin Ricardo Diaz is always hilariously breaking something and cursing wildly each time anyone eventually tell him. Ken Rosenberg is the fidgety coke-fiend lawyer pal, next he receives you started in area by getting you connected with the city's key players. Lance Vance, appropriately said by Miami Vice alum Philip Michael Thomas, becomes your associate of persons, as both of you chase vengeance for your own reasons. Your Cuban gang contact, Umberto Robina, is regularly reminding you how much of a man he is, and most of the Cuban team members you'll face are likewise inclined.

Stylistically, the game shows an exact description of your normal '80s crime saga. Like here Miami Vice, many of the identities are wearing pastel becomes. The game's vehicles and right the tab, with a lot of basic sedans combined at home with vehicles which aspect enough like Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris to leave behind to the real thing. Nothing in the vehicles are passed, of course, though in the good touch, some of the cars are earlier models of vehicles which happened in Grand Theft Auto 3. Fans of the past game can undoubtedly appreciate little stuff like this also one other occasional ties on the earth of GTA3, that really help this another Grand Theft Auto game feel like part of a consistent universe.

As large as the game's presentation and using its foundation ideas survive, without a collection of gameplay improvements, that would experience lived little more than a mission group with a touch-up work. But Rockstar North has definitely been tough at work in this field. The most obvious addition is the inclusion of types of motorcycles among the many cars on the road. There's a decent variety of two-wheelers from the game, including mopeds, street bikes, dirt bikes, and massive hogs. As you'd think, the cycles feel a lot differently in one another. Your basic street bike is a good mix of fly with maneuverability. The immense choppers are harder to drive, yet give ludicrous top speeds. You'll get tossed off a motorcycle in virtually any impact, which costs you a small amount of strength or armor. That gets them pretty much useless in any situation that interests dodging the police. But they're incredibly handy in any vision that demands speed, with since you can influence a lot of fancy tricks on them, they're also many fun to drive around.

You'll also perform bit of rushing into Vice City. Like go through a number of major piece points, you'll available the western half of Vice City, which is locked apart on the dawn due to hurricane warnings. After that, you'll encounter vision to let anyone escape a seaplane around the city. You'll also get a few different helicopters here and there. Travel throughout the city is attractive impressive, and it show off the playoffs engine quite well--you may visit for miles when you're up inside air. While some of the city's skyscrapers are extremely tall to get on top of, you can settle the choppers in most from the game's buildings. Expect to find a few of the game's hidden items stashed away into these forms of difficult-to-reach areas.

Some new person cases have been included in the game as well. Pressing L3 will lock Tommy in a crouched put. That permits people suffer cover behind reasons and looks up the speed accuracy. You can also dive out of step vehicles, which helpful for ditching cars or bikes to the ocean, escaping a shed vehicle, or just ramming empty cars in different vehicles for kicks. Like wrecking a bike, bailing from a car causes some bodily harm. You can and enter certain buildings now. While the interior situations are few in number and mainly extraneous, they stare good and are used to effectively create a city that's more realistic than Grand Theft Auto III's Liberty City. You'll be able to go into your hotel then run right upstairs to help ones bedroom. You can also get into a nightclub, a reel club, the Vice City mall, and a few other buildings. There are load times associated with entering certain buildings, but they're pretty simple.

Many of the game's story missions are more involved than those associated with GTAIII. GTA 3 had many missions where you needed to get great before bring someone somewhere and return to your reward. You can get those types of assignment with Vice City, yet many of the novel game's missions are multiple-part business which include more than now shift by heart A to position B and then to spot A. Some positions are basic extensions, like because possibly having to break a respray look after moving a job. But, other missions are more required also involve the use of more-advanced strategies. For order, one mission requires you to hide a bomb in the mall that takes place swarming with cops. To do so, you'll first have to get a miniature heat chasing after you. You'll then direct the cops into a garage, where you'll ambush them also haul one of their standards so you can pose as a cop, which makes stepping into the heavily guarded mall possible. After you've taken trouble of company at the mall, you'll then should escape and get all the way time for the hideout.

The objective live fortunate designed for the most position. The noticeably longer average mission length is great, even if this could become a supply of unexpected frustration, since failure in a mission means having to replay every piece until you have it right. Moving back to a quest district becomes easier than ever before, even though. In GTAIII, you'd restart in a clinic or watch station and be compelled to bargain a car and hightail it back to a quest area, which could take a Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City Download while. Wearing Vice City, a cab appears close your respawn stage, with, instead of a tiny price, it will need people back to the last mission briefing question you visited. Unfortunately, since you're generally going to want to pick up some section along with several armor before heading back into most missions, you'll even have to get up to the local Ammu-Nation opening. This would have become fine if you could have treated the cab to handle this phase of the development as well. At any rate, while the game definitely has the portion of difficult missions, the average mission difficulty looks a level or two easier with Vice City than in GTA III, and so you ought to have to repeat too many missions too often. Though, overall, Vice City's amount of sweat is a lot like which with the earlier game, because of increased tenacity on the part of the police of their hard work to help impede you.

Alongside the cash to the missions themselves, the game's mission design is sweet different from that of the earlier GTA match. In prior installments, you were given a pretty clear-cut path to follow--you could have had multiple mission choices at any present period, and you consistently knew just what to do then plus for who. With Vice City, you'll spend the first piece from the game undertaking vision for people, much like in GTA3. But once the city is yours, you'll be working for yourself, going and go on your safety racket into collection and identifying yourself as the town's new boss.

Eventually, you'll even be able to go out with hold various properties, that begins up another missions. For example, when you buy the taxi company, you'll open up a series of taxi-related vision to occur separate through the edge missions to you can handle by entering any taxi. Once you've achieved a property's missions, to property may launch making money for you. This information means that money eventually turns into a nonissue--as it should be for any self-respecting crime lord--since your various properties will also have some cash for you. All you need to do is run around to all advisors with gather from time to time. There are several other properties to purchase, including the film studio, the Malibu Stick, with a car dealership. All the secondary-mission types from Grand Theft Auto 3 have returned, like as vigilante missions, taxi missions, fire truck vision, and ambulance missions. New to Vice City is the ability to do on a special type of scooter and transport pizza. Pizza is given while in motion using the same mechanics you'd normally work for drive-by shootings, only in this case you throw pizza pies on customers.

While the inspection in Vice City is mostly the same as which of Grand Theft Auto 3, the trading of the game's various cars feels really different, because game's frequent driving sequences seem much more exciting and dangerous. Perhaps in part due to the adjustment of point period, a lot of the cars feel a lot looser on the road and manage to find hit in a good bit easier. This presents much on the game the form of car-flipping, explosion-filled quality you'd expect via a great instance in the A-Team. And when you consider the new ability for you--or other in-game characters--to burst out tires, handling becomes an even bigger question. Cars with blown tires are really hard to control, making car chases to very much tougher when you have a flat (or many). And as if cars weren't dangerous enough, a motorcycle with a blown wheel is nearly useless, as it usually spins exposed next puts people over the handlebars whenever you try and attain any significant speed. One of the tougher vision gives people trying to get a cycle with even tires returning to a motorcycle bar while remaining pursued by angry thugs.

Cars split apart in an even more spectacular fashion now around. Along with holding away tires, you can hit up cars with your melee weapons now. Reaching winning and caving in a car's hood with your baseball bat is usually a good way to make the tenants to quit the vehicle in a hurry. You can also run out car windows and even hit the people inside car with your shots. That becomes an enormous difference when it comes to taking away cars, as you can now aim at the rolls to slow down the vehicle down and then take away the drivers with a well-placed rifle shot.

As revealed, the police have become a much more powerful risk than they were in Grand Theft Auto 3, especially since they have the ability to get the wheels about your own getaway car. Attempting to jump in a auto then run off the picture of an crime usually gives the cops enough time to take out among the wheels. In higher levels of response, the police force set up spike strips to take off every the tires. Of course, they'll and set up standard roadblocks also act all of the things the Grand Theft Auto 3 cops did, including ignore most common traffic violations. Though, in Vice City, stirring up a serious ruckus will get both the rob and the FBI in the situation. Helicopters will also chase after you. This time in, SWAT players will in fact rappel out of the helicopters, making them more dangerous. If you can manage to get a good shot with a chopper's cockpit, although, you can rent one overcome with individual strike. On the supreme level of law enforcement answer, the multitude once again rolls tanks on the street, doing your own chance of success slim. All this means that, as in GTAIII, many encounters with the conviction with Vice City can be extremely exciting. Yet, one mark for the police record is the fact that the policemen still do not deal with elevation changes remarkably so. If you come across a square garage then effect the first or back ground, the police officer aren't wise enough to get the system around deal with you. They'll even hold firing in your general direction, even though there are several blocks with ceilings between a person along with the specialists. But you'll encounter such a thing really rarely amidst many, many wonderful and powerful chases and shoot-outs.

While there are a lot other systems in Vice City, the free arsenal gets really changed that significantly overall. The most obvious additions are in the melee weapon department--or, somewhat, the hardware department. You can visit a hardware collection and grab a screwdriver, a strike, a trusty baseball bat, or a machete. You'll and learn other melee weapons in different measurement on the city. Knocking the course, for example, gets it easy to find a golf club. You can also make a chainsaw, which is large with principle, but surprisingly unsatisfying in action. Weapons are destroyed upward in another styles. Your main attack rifle will be a Ruger, but later on you'll manage to obtain the M16. You can have one weapon in each grade, so picking winning an M16 can return the Ruger, getting a golf club can change your baseball bat, and so on. The choice of weapons closely mirrors GTA3's set, only now with more types of pistols, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns, sniper firearms, and confused explosives.

You'll work your way upward from central weapons up to deadlier versions. For example, the Tec-9 is a good submachine gun, but later on you'll be able to obtain a MP5K, that includes a much faster measure of passion. Later still, you'll be able to wield rocket launchers, a flamethrower, an M60 machine gun, or even a Gatling gun. Different weapons have different weights, and your movement rate may suffering from the bat you're holding. Wielding a gun or a submachine gun lets you throw at full speed. Busting away the shotgun or rifle prevents people through sprinting, but you may move normally. Also the deep weapons cause you to land around slowly. The ending system by GTA 3 has been reworked a bit for Vice City, making it easier to target opponents and house the video camera by obtaining too crazy when you're locked on a goal.

Vice City also increases on GTA 3 graphically. The only trouble with the image is the body rate's movement toward bog down after you've grew a mess of law swarming all over you, doing escape to very much harder. But considering that problem is no worse in Vice City than it had been during Grand Theft Auto 3, and that the game looks a good bit better overall than Grand Theft Auto III, it's not really a huge deal. The entire glimpse on the game is quite different from their predecessor overall, but technically, that modern Grand Theft Auto game owns a radically cleaner appearance. The character examples become superior gaze, and the animation--some of it reused from GTA3--looks great. Some of the highlights include jacking a bike in the top, which affects Tommy to complete a wing jump end that beats the condition dust away the bike. Jack a cycle in the wall, with misery give the elbow to the look with the condition.

The draw distance is a lot farther away this time about as well, meaning you can see a greater distance down the road than you can in GTA 3. This is even more apparent when you're flying high preceding the city and can see most the way across to the new part of it. But you'll still see when simply driving in the street, especially when you give up a cause car and watch this cruise off outside with its. Outside which, the playoffs surfaces are lively with bright, properly considering what '80s-era Miami should look like. Nearby shops are mixed with neon that glows nicely at night. You'll also see whole lot of large little touches, such as the flicker of sunshine down the openings of community cars.

GTA 3's sound played a crucial cut with establishing the tone to the overall game. The voice acting used throughout the history segments effectively shared the offense lie, and the air offered the soundtrack to go with the action. Vice City's sound is a dramatic increase on GTAIII's already amazing good. The sport cast is top-notch. The main variance from the words run becomes which, unlike in GTA III, the advanced spirit in Vice City speaks. Tommy Vercetti's expression is given by Ray Liotta (Blow, Muppets By Area), who does an excellent post of produce the character to life. The rest of the voice talent--which includes Gary Busey, Dennis Hopper, David Paymer, Danny Trejo, Luis Guzman, Philip Michael Thomas, and retired adult film actress Jenna Jameson--also does a very good post. The playoffs positive effects are top-notch. Everything from explosions to gunfire just sounds outstanding.

The radio classes with Vice City are extremely well done. The '80s music found on the posts really helps settled on the tone to the entire game. You'll find plenty of

Elway Goes for Gold

When the GM of the Denver Broncos, John Elway, fired inept Head Coach, Vance Joseph, he was well aware that his own legacy was on the line. Joseph looked massively overstretched as a first time Head Coach and by delivering back-to-back losing seasons he secured his own ticket out of town. Elway knew that to “reach” for another rookie Head Coach he would only apply more pressure back onto himself. However, that is exactly what he did when he appointed the hugely respected, long time NFL coordinator Vic Fangio, who, at 60 years old, has never held the top spot with an NFL team.

Whether or not the appointment is in fact a “reach” will only be borne out by a combination of time and results. The general feeling is that Fangio’s assistant stints with multiple teams’ leaves him far better equipped to be a Head Coach than Vance Joseph’s resume ever did. Fangio’s crucial role during his previous position with the Chicago Bears, where he built and elite defensive unit has proved a big draw for Elway.

When the Broncos GM was entrusted with repairing the deep damage caused by previous Head Coach, Josh Daniels, in 2010 he turned to experience. Former Panthers coach, John Fox, was utilized by Elway to provide more basic nuts and bolts coaching and knowledge. While Fox was far from being a coaching guru or visionary, he did offer stability and almost a coaching bridge-type fix for the Broncos. This perhaps, may in fact be a harsh assessment of a man who took his team all the way to a Super Bowl appearance.

The general feeling in Denver was that Fox had taken the Broncos as far as he could. Fox’s blatant courting of the Chicago Bears job probably matched Elway’s level of determination to bring in his old friend, Gary Kubiak, to replace him. Of course as it turned out the decision was vindicated with a Super Bowl ring for Kubiak and Fox no longer coaching in the NFL. When Kubiak stepped down due to health concerns and coaching burn-out, it cost the Broncos their coaching future and forced Elway to make another appointment. His decision to appoint Joseph proved to be a massive mistake and by sticking with him for a second losing season it only caused more damage.

While not all the blame can be apportioned to Joseph as the lack of proper quarterback play undoubtedly doomed the young Head Coach. Joseph’s constant in-play clock and general game management, coupled with cumbersome media soundbites, made him a laughing stock at times during his tenure in Denver. He never appeared to lose his locker-room, and even star names such as Von Miller had genuine affection for their Head Coach as a person. Ultimately most in the locker-room fully understood that in order to win he simply had to be replaced and have since completely bought into the “death by inches” Fangio coaching mantra.

More so than simply changing coaching staff, Elway needed to arrest a decline in his own organization and how it is perceived nationally. One of the NFL crown jewel franchises coming off back-to-back losing seasons was deemed as being unacceptable. New offensive coordinator, Rick Scangerallo, has the remit to open up the offense and has some young talented players to work with, particularly Philip Lindsay and Courtland Sutton. By trading for veteran, Super Bowl winning quarterback, Joe Flacco, he will now have a proven quarterback to work with.

Elway has put a much larger emphasis on offense in the draft process also. The arrival of tight-end Noah Fant and Drew Lock as the teams quarterback of the future, showed willingness to build on both sides of the ball. Dalton Risner, via the draft, and the free-agent acquisition of right-tackle, Ja’wuan James, addressed the longstanding Achilles heel within the roster. Perhaps this position group, and how far the progress, will really hold the key to the entire success of the new Bronco regime.

By tempting offensive line coach, Mike Munchak, to the Broncos, Elway has perhaps pulled off a master stroke. Munchak is known throughout the NFL as the number one position coach and is tasked with saving former number one draft pick, Garret Boles, as well as re-tooling the entire offensive line. His past success in Pittsburgh all points to his ability to pull it off. Elway will count on his new staff to return some swagger and coaching smarts to a Bronco organization desperate to return to the elite level.

Tuesday round-up

This morning the court will hear argument in two of its highest-profile cases this term: Trump v. Mazars and Trump v. Vance, President Donald Trump’s efforts to shield his financial records, including his tax returns, from subpoenas issued to his accountant and lenders by a New York grand jury and three congressional committees. Amy Howe previewed the cases for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. Philip Duggan and Robert Reese Oñate preview Mazars at Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, and Sean Kealy has a preview at Subscript Law. Zora Franicevic and Connor Grant-Knight provide Cornell’s preview of Vance, and Jim Wheaton previews the case for Subscript Law.

Nina Totenberg reports for NPR that “[h]ow the court decides these cases could dramatically change the balance of power among the three branches of government, thus shifting the American system of checks and balances.” For The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Jess Bravin reports that, “[w]hile contending that Congress can’t seek information regarding potential crimes under the guise of legislative oversight, in the companion case Mr. Trump’s lawyers say that states are powerless to investigate him for possible violations of their own laws.” At The Economist’s Espresso blog, Steven Mazie notes that “[p]recedent is not friendly to Mr Trump’s plea[:] When Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton faced other predicaments involving the separation of powers, the Supreme Court decided against both, unanimously.” Joan Biskupic, at CNN, highlights “six things to watch for” in today’s arguments.

At Justia’s Verdict blog, Rodger Citron suggests that the critical question is “which Chief Justice John Roberts will show up.” Commentary on Vance comes from David Boyle at Boyle’s Laws. At The Atlantic (via How Appealing), Quinta Jurecic argues that, ”[a]s it was during the Russia investigation, and during the impeachment proceedings, the core of Trump’s claim is: Everything I do is beyond questioning; everything you do deserves the closest scrutiny.” The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal writes that “Mr. Trump won’t be President forever, and the Court will have to reflect on how its decisions will affect America’s political institutions amid hyper-partisanship that won’t end when a Democrat takes the White House.”

This blog’s analysis of yesterday’s oral argument in Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, in which the considered the scope of the “ministerial exception” to federal employment discrimination laws, come from Amy Howe, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. Mark Walsh reports for Education Week’s School Law Blog that the justices “spent more than 90 minutes of oral arguments over the telephone Monday wrestling with where to draw the line between employees of religious schools who will remain protected by civil rights law and those who will not because they are considered ministers of the faith.” Nina Totenberg and Krishnadev Calamur report at NPR that “[t]he Supreme Court’s conservative majority signaled Wednesday that it is on the verge of carving out a giant exception to the nation’s fair employment laws.” At Fox News, Ron Blitzer and Bill Mears report that “[c]onservative justices appeared to believe the issue is too murky for the court to decide how religious organizations should define religious roles.” David Savage reports for the Los Angeles Times that “[t]he argument featured a new twist on an old doctrine[:] In recent decades, conservatives have shunned the phrase ‘separation of church and state’ because they associated it with the liberal era when the justices struck down prayers in public schools and barred state aid for children in parochial schools[, b]ut a lawyer representing the Catholic schools in Los Angeles led off Monday’s argument by citing that principle.” At the Constitutional Law Prof Blog, Ruthann Robson writes that, although “the ministerial exemption as rooted in the free exercise and establishment clauses of the First Amendment originally excepted only ‘ministers,’ there is a chance that it will be broadened to include all – – – or almost all – – �� employees at religious organizations.”

At Bloomberg Law, Jordan Rubin reports that “[q]uestions asked by Justice Neil Gorsuch” during yesterday’s argument in McGirt v. Oklahoma, which asks whether Oklahoma had jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by an Indian within the historical boundaries of the Creek reservation in eastern Oklahoma, “suggest he’s skeptical of the Oklahoma government’s stance against tribes and a criminal defendant in a hugely consequential case over the status of American Indian lands.” At Reuters, Lawrence Hurley reports that “[s]ome justices including conservative Justice Samuel Alito appeared concerned about the potentially broad ramifications of a ruling backing tribal authority.” Jess Bravin reports for The Wall Street Journal that “[a] ruling could potentially put into question hundreds of criminal convictions from Oklahoma state courts,” and that “the case could have even broader implications, depending on whether the court recognizes tribal sovereignty over land that Washington once promised to Native Americans[:] The legal framework in Tulsa, Okla., and the rest of the region could be affected, including taxing powers and contracts involving tribe members.”

Briefly:

At The Detroit News (via How Appealing), Melissa Nann Burke reports that “Aimee Stephens, the Michigan woman who last year became the first transgender person to have a civil rights complaint heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, might not live to hear whether she won,” because she “is now in stage four renal failure and under hospice care.”

In an op-ed for The Philadelphia Inquirer (via How Appealing), U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Marjorie Rendell offers a judge’s guide to the Supreme Court’s live-streamed arguments, noting that “[w]e are privileged, at least for the time being, to be flies on the wall while the sausage gets made.”

In an op-ed at the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Daniel Cotter discusses the latest Supreme Court news.

At Dorf on Law, Michael Dorf pushes back against Justice Clarence Thomas’ originalist critique of the First Amendment overbreadth doctrine in a concurrence last week in United States v. Sineneng-Smith, arguing that “[u]nless and until Justice Thomas abandons the modern First Amendment entirely, one should regard with extreme skepticism his call for the re-examination of specific doctrines–like overbreadth and the rule of NY Times v. Sullivan that he criticized last year.”

At The World and Everything in It (podcast), Mary Reichard discusses the arguments in U.S.. Patent and Trademark Office v. Booking.com, which asks whether the addition of “.com” to a generic term creates a protectable trademark, and Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania, a challenge to the federal government’s expansion of the “conscience exemption” to the Affordable Care Act’s birth-control mandate.

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up.

The Justice Department becomes a political hit squad for an unleashed president

By Jennifer Rubin | Published February 11 at 6:16 PM EST | Washington Post | Posted February 11, 2020 |

President Trump, empowered by acquittal in his impeachment trial and allowed free rein by his Republican Senate allies, has waged a war of vengeance and retribution against those who declined to enable his impeachable conduct. Now he has taken a club to the Justice Department.

The Post reports on the four prosecutors who refused to go along with their boss’s directive to reduce the sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone following Trump’s tweet criticizing the seven- to nine-year sentence recommendation:

All four career prosecutors handling the case against Roger Stone, a confidant of President Trump, asked to withdraw from the legal proceedings Tuesday — and one quit his job entirely — after the Justice Department signaled it planned to reduce their sentencing recommendation for the president’s friend.

Jonathan Kravis, one of the prosecutors, wrote in a court filing he had resigned as an assistant U.S. attorney, leaving government altogether. Three others — Aaron S.J. Zelinsky, Adam Jed and Michael Marando — asked a judge’s permission to leave the case.

Zelinsky, a former member of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team, also indicated in a filing he was quitting his special assignment to the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office, though a spokeswoman said he will remain an assistant U.S. attorney in Baltimore.

None provided a reason for their decisions.

The departures come just hours after a senior Justice Department official told reporters that the agency’s leadership had been “shocked” by the seven-to-nine-year penalty prosecutors asked a judge to impose on Stone and intended to ask for a lesser penalty.

Ian Bassin, who heads Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan organization that has litigated against Trump’s power grabs, tells me, “Jonathan Kravis and Aaron Zelinsky resigning is both a courageous and principled move on their part for which they deserve national praise, but it should also be a red alarm for the rest of us that the view from inside DOJ is that Trump and Barr are taking us to a dangerous place.” Bassin adds, “A favorite tool of autocrats is using law enforcement as a weapon against opponents and a shield to protect their friends. Unless we want autocracy in America, we need to heed this alarm. The rest of DOJ must speak out loudly, clearly and publicly against this assault on the rule of law.”

Aside from the Saturday night massacre, we have never seen multiple Justice Department lawyers resign to protest a presidential abuse of power.

Just as Trump tried to engage a foreign government to announce an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and ordered up a probe of Hillary Clinton (which came to nothing), this is an egregious perversion of the rule of law. The president, like a tin-pot dictator, now uses the Justice Department to shield his criminal cronies, putting his finger on the scale in a way no other president has done in the modern era.

As he did in spinning the Mueller report and refusing to consider seriously the criminal implications of the whistleblower’s report, Attorney General William P. Barr has refused to defy the president or defend the reputation of his department. Former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance tweeted:

In the absence of a principled attorney general, the Justice Department has become an instrument to abuse power. What, if anything, might slow Trump down?

First, the judge in the Stone case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, could reject the revised recommendation, implicitly or explicitly rebuking the Justice Department. Second, while unlikely to be productive, the House can subpoena Barr to testify and explain the reversal. (He previously refused to respond to a House subpoena and was held in contempt.) Third, the House could open impeachment hearings on Barr, something I suggested previously when he refused to comply with a lawful subpoena and allowed his lawyers to misrepresent the facts in the Census case (only to be rebuked by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.). Finally, a wave of resignations of Justice Department officials might alert the country to the dangers of Trump erasing the line between partisan politics and the administration of the law (though Trump and his supporters may be delighted to fill their spots with more political cronies).

Former prosecutor Mimi Rocah tells me, “This is absolutely unprecedented. DOJ never should have intervened in the Stone case and doing it after Trump’s Demand by tweet is the final blow to any pretense that DOJ is acting independently of Trump and politics which it has historically done by and large.” She adds, “The fact that career prosecutors are the ones taking a stand is alarming. The political appointees like US Attorneys should be insulating them from this. This is very dark and dangerous.”

Coming on the evening of the New Hampshire primary, the latest crisis should remind us of the stakes in 2020 and the necessity that Democrats nominate someone who can beat Trump and stop our slide into authoritarianism. It should also remind us that without the cowardice of Republican senators including Susan Collins of Maine, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and others, Trump would not be lighting a fire to the Justice Department and the Constitution. Voters must remember this come November.

Trump escalates campaign of retribution as Republican senators shrug

By Philip Rucker and Paul Kane | Published February 11 at 6:32 PM EST | Washington Post | Posted Feb 11, 2020

Trump escalated his campaign of retribution against his perceived impeachment enemies Tuesday, railing in the Oval Office about a decorated combat veteran who testified about the president’s conduct with Ukraine and suggesting the Defense Department should consider disciplining him.

“The military can handle him any way they want,” Trump said of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who was ousted from his position on the National Security Council last Friday and reassigned to the Pentagon.

Asked whether he was recommending the military take disciplinary action against Vindman for his House testimony in the impeachment proceedings, Trump replied, “They’re going to certainly, I would imagine, take a look at that.”

Trump also leaped to the defense Tuesday of Roger Stone, his longtime former adviser and friend who faces a prison sentence after being convicted by a jury of obstructing Congress and witness tampering in connection with the Russia investigation.

Stoking new worries about improperly politicizing the Justice Department, Trump admonished federal prosecutors for recommending a seven- to nine-year sentence for Stone, which the president felt was too long.

“That was a horrible aberration,” Trump told reporters gathered in the Oval Office. “They ought to be ashamed of themselves,” he said, adding that the prosecutors were “an insult to our country.”

Trump provided fresh evidence that he feels emboldened and will say and do as he pleases after the Republican-controlled Senate voted last week to acquit him in the impeachment trial.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Trump’s actions in recent days have seemed “almost delightedly vengeful” and are cause for “very deep and profound concern and alarm.”

“It completely explodes this delusion that he’s learned his lesson and he will turn over a new leaf, which was magical thinking from the start and a fig leaf for a number of my Republican colleagues,” Blumenthal said. “We ought to be very, very afraid of this kind of dictatorial personal vengeance against dedicated public servants who stepped forward to tell the truth.”

Republicans who control the Senate resigned themselves this week to the reality that they are unable to check or even influence Trump, even as some GOP strategists are warning that the president’s actions threaten the party’s Senate majority by complicating the home-state politics for a quintet of endangered incumbents.

One of them, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), said last week that she believed Trump had learned “a pretty big lesson” by being impeached. But this week she said she had been so “concerned” about Trump’s desire to punish two impeachment witnesses, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland and Vindman, that she contacted the White House.

“My general position is that anyone who answers a congressional subpoena and comes forward and testifies should not face retaliation,” Collins said.

Asked what senators could do to rein in Trump, she replied, “I called to try to prevent the action.”

Yet the senator’s call did little to persuade the president. Trump last Friday fired Sondland and reassigned Vindman, as well as his twin brother, Yevgeny, also a lieutenant colonel, to the Defense Department. The Vindman brothers were escorted off the White House grounds, according to their lawyer.

Trump later took to Twitter to attack Alexander Vindman, who testified before the House last November that he was concerned about Trump’s conduct with Ukraine.

Some Senate Republicans said they were more concerned about Sondland’s fate. Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said that they tried to save Sonland, a major GOP donor, from the embarrassment of being fired on the same day as Vindman. Both senators said they talked to senior White House officials when they learned that Sondland’s job was in jeopardy.

“I just wanted him to be able to leave with dignity,” Johnson said Monday evening. Sondland was said to have been willing to resign his E.U. post within a few weeks had he been given the time.

Neither Johnson nor Tillis raised any objection to the ouster of Vindman, a nonpartisan official who was awarded a Purple Heart for his service in the Iraq War.

Tillis said his motivation for contacting the White House was simply to create some separation between Vindman and Sondland’s dismissals as a way of helping to preserve the public image of Sondland, a Portland-based hotelier whose $1 million in donations to Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee paved his way into the president’s inner circle.

“I agreed with the decision on Vindman,” Tillis said. “I just felt like having the two have some distance would have been appropriate.”

Some Republican strategists are privately warning that Trump’s acts of retribution, should they continue, could endanger the reelection chances of five senators in competitive races: Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cory Gardner of Colorado and Martha McSally of Arizona, as well as Collins and Tillis.

“The White House and the [Trump] campaign need to look at this election through the lens of the vulnerable Republican senators,” said one top GOP strategist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution from Trump or his aides. “It’s not that hard. You say to yourself before you make a move, ‘What’s this going to do to Cory or Joni or Martha or Thom or Susan?’ That’s what’s lacking here.”

Trump, this strategist continued, “is always going to do a little crazy every week because a little crazy is what motivates his base. But this is a team sport, and he does not want to lose the Senate. You saw what happened when he misjudged 2018 and lost the House. He got himself impeached. The Senate is the backstop.”

Democrats have zeroed in on Collins’s claim that Trump had learned a lesson from being impeached, an assessment she later clarified as a “hope” that he would not ask foreign leaders to conduct investigations against his rivals.

“She said that the president has learned his lesson. Those were her words, and then the next morning President Trump went out and disgraced himself before people of faith at the National Prayer Breakfast, and then President Trump turned around and held [a] make America hate again rally in the White House,” Rep. Hakeen Jeffries (D-N.Y.), one of the House impeachment managers, told reporters Tuesday.

Trump also has been seeking to retaliate against Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, the lone Republican to vote to convict the president. In Tuesday’s Oval Office appearance, Trump slammed his longtime foil, telling reporters, “Romney’s a disgrace.”

Romney said Tuesday that he has received a fine reception from his Senate colleagues and in meetings with Utah GOP leaders following his conviction vote. Romney flew home to Salt Lake City last Thursday for meetings and then, signaling he wants to be seen as a team player, jetted to Palm Beach, Fla., to attend a big fundraising retreat for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Romney said in a brief interview following the weekly Republican senators’ luncheon, which was attended by Vice President Pence, that there was no awkwardness over his rebellious vote at the fundraiser or at Tuesday’s lunch.

“I’m sure people have different points of view; that’s what we’re entitled to do in a democracy,” Romney said.

Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson (R) described his visit with Romney as a “very frank” conversation, but one that GOP leaders appreciated. “It actually took a lot of courage to do that in the wake of what happened, primarily because many of us here are disappointed with what happened yesterday,” Wilson said Thursday.

Even as Trump has mocked him and his citation of his Mormon faith in guiding his vote, Romney said Tuesday that his Senate colleagues have been fully supportive.

“I certainly respect each of them for the conclusions they reached and believe that when people of character vote their conscience, that is a good thing,” he said.

DOJ intervenes in Russia probe — again — and this one looks awfully suspicious

By Aaron Blake | Published February 11, 2020 5:48 PM EST | Washington Post | Posted February 11, 2020 |

On Tuesday, we saw the latest in a string of suspiciously pro-Trump maneuvers on the Russia investigation from Attorney General William P. Barr’s Justice Department — with this one coming on the final prosecution emanating from it.

The Justice Department has now announced that it will reduce its sentence recommendation for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone. That announcement comes just hours after Trump tweeted his objection to the proposed sentence, which was seven to nine years in prison. And it soon led to all four prosecutors withdrawing from the case.

“This is a horrible and very unfair situation,” Trump wrote. “The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!”

It bears emphasizing up top that the proximity to Trump’s tweet may be pure happenstance. As The Washington Post’s Matt Zapotosky and Devlin Barrett report, a senior Justice Department official said the decision to reduce the sentence recommendation was made before Trump weighed in. In addition, the recommended sentence for Stone was on the harsh side, with prosecutors citing a number of aggravating factors.

But it was also within the guidelines, which makes the reversal from DOJ all the more unusual — and suspicious. And just hours after the announcement Tuesday, all four career prosecutors on the case moved to withdraw from the case. Aaron Zelinsky abruptly withdrew from the case and resigned as a special assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, while keeping his other job in the Justice Department. Adam Jed and Michael Marando sought to withdraw from the case. And a fourth prosecutor, Jonathan Kravis, resigned from the government entirely.

In other words, it sure looks bad.

And here’s the thing: That would be true even if Trump had not commented. Trump denied privately applying pressure Tuesday afternoon. But even if that’s true and Trump’s tweet had no impact, what we would still have is prosecutors recommending a sentence for a Trump ally and then having higher-ups in Trump’s Justice Department overrule them.

The senior Justice Department official described a situation in which the prosecutors had blindsided or failed to accurately inform their superiors of their intentions. They said DOJ “was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the Roger Stone case last night.”

“That recommendation is not what had been briefed to the department,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive case.

That is certainly possible, but you wonder how it could have happened with such a high-profile prosecution, given the weighty political matters involved. The Justice Department needs to make it clear that it is not giving any special treatment to an ally of the president. How it and its prosecutors could have so bungled this sentencing recommendation is difficult to countenance.

That said, it is the latest in a long line of curiosities from Barr’s DOJ related to the Russia probe and, more recently, the Ukraine scandal. There were the times:

Barr offered a misleading summary of Mueller’s report.

He decided to clear Trump of obstruction of justice, even though Mueller had determined he could not.

He adopted Trump’s talking points on “no collusion” and “spying.”

He has traveled overseas to assist in the probe examining the origins of the Russia probe — a key initiative long pushed for by Trump.

He issued an extraordinary statement disagreeing with an inspector general who said the Russia investigation was adequately predicated.

The Justice Department opted not to investigate Trump for a campaign finance violation on Ukraine despite a prohibition on seeking foreign assistance in an election.

However legitimate the latest episode is, that certainly points to the direction in which Barr has erred. Repeatedly, on matters related to the Russia and Ukraine, his Justice Department has done things that suggest that, even if Trump is not explicitly leaning on him, he has taken a Trump-friendly stance on the whole thing — and that he has gone out of his way in doing so.

That would be potentially problematic even if this did not involve Trump or his allies personally, given that prosecutions are supposed to be handled independently and free of political influence. The fact that it does involve them adds even more pressure to make sure it is on the up-and-up — and also looks that way to the outside.

Even if Trump did not tweet what he did Tuesday morning, this whole thing would still fail that test.

Time for Democrats to get much tougher with William Barr

By Greg Sargent | Published February 11 at 2:45 PM EST | Washington Post | Posted February 11, 2020 |

Only hours ago, President Trump tweeted out his rage over the “very unfair” sentencing that prosecutors were thought to be seeking for Roger Stone, his longtime confidant.

Trump fumed that a long sentence for Stone, who had been convicted of witness tampering and lying to Congress in connection with the special counsel’s investigation of Russian sabotage of the 2016 election, would constitute a “miscarriage of justice.”

By shocking coincidence, the Justice Department is now going to revise its recommendation — while telling us it had nothing whatsoever to do with the president’s command. The Post reports:

The Justice Department plans to reduce its sentencing recommendation for longtime President Trump confidant Roger Stone, after top officials were apparently blindsided by the seven-to-nine year penalty prosecutors urged a judge to impose, a senior Justice Department official said Tuesday.

In a stunning rebuke of career prosecutors that will surely raise questions about political meddling in the case, a senior Justice Department official said the department “was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the Roger Stone case last night.”

“That recommendation is not what had been briefed to the department,” the official said. “The department finds the recommendation extreme and excessive and disproportionate to Stone’s offenses. The department will clarify its position later today.”

The original sentencing recommendation had justified itself by citing the severity of Stone’s offenses — including, among other things, the fact that he tried to obstruct an investigation designed to get to the bottom of interference in our election, which “strikes at the very heart of our American democracy.”

Higher-ups at the Justice Department don’t agree with this designation of severity, apparently.

Trump, of course, just got acquitted by the Senate after overtly using the power of his office to pressure a foreign leader into helping him rig the next election.

At a minimum, whether you agree with the stiff recommendation or not, this raises serious questions about whether Trump and his attorney general, William P. Barr, are working to obliterate the norm known as “prosecutorial independence.”

The norm of prosecutorial independence is a response to a thorny problem: The Justice Department is overseen by the executive branch for the good reason that this makes it subject to political accountability, but this also potentially subjects prosecutors and investigations to presidential manipulation.

As law professors Rebecca Roiphe and Bruce Green detail, after the Watergate abuses, the norm of prosecutorial independence was increasingly seen as an answer. This norm ideally functions as a check on presidential power: The president is the boss, but prosecutors are answerable to the law and the people as well.

But the norm doesn’t enforce itself. And Trump flatly rejects it.

Instead, Trump believes prosecutors are entirely answerable first and foremost to him. Trump has demanded investigations of political opponents. During the special counsel’s investigation, his lawyers took the position that he can shut down an investigation into himself for any reason whatsoever.

In this schema, a president essentially cannot manipulate law enforcement with corrupt intent by definition.

In the case of Stone, we don’t yet know exactly what happened. But the broader pattern is hard to avoid. Trump raged at his former attorney general for failing to protect him from investigations. Barr then got the job because his views on presidential obstruction meshed with the theories articulated by Trump’s own lawyers.

Since then, Barr misled the country to obscure the seriousness of Trump’s likely-criminal efforts to obstruct the special counsel investigation. Barr has undertaken a review of the Russia investigation that’s plainly designed to discredit it — and its conclusions that Russia did interfere to help Trump. The Justice Department worked to keep the whistleblower complaint detailing Trump’s Ukraine shakedown from Congress.

Now we’re learning that Barr has opened up a special channel to receive information about Joe and his son Hunter Biden directly from Rudolph Giuliani, Trump’s private lawyer, who ran Trump’s Ukraine shakedown.

House Judiciary Committee Democrats have sent a letter to Barr demanding that he explain this arrangement with Giuliani — including demanding that Barr say whether he has launched any criminal investigations in relation to it. That is, investigations into the Bidens.

It’s likely that Barr will ball this letter up and use it to practice shooting hoops into his office trash can.

Taken all together, this leaves us adrift, as University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck points out.

This leaves Democrats no choice but to escalate their oversight of Barr in any way they can. Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, who has been prodding them on this, suggested to me that a handful of leading Democrats should devote themselves to going on the airwaves and “hounding Barr from office.”

One possibility for this might be Sen. Kamala Harris of California, who famously questioned Barr about whether Trump has ever instructed him to open investigations of political opponents.

“This is going to require congressional Democrats to play by a different set of rules than they’ve been playing under,” Rosenberg said.

This might seem hopeless — didn’t the administration completely stiff-arm Democrats’ impeachment demands for witnesses and testimony?

Yes — and no. Trump was only partly successful, and the witnesses who did come forward offered a powerful and deeply revelatory account.

And as former Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller told me, there is good reason for Democrats to keep the pressure on Barr by trying to exercise oversight on the department — if only because it could encourage more of the same.

“You put pressure on the bureaucracy, so if there is any inappropriate interference from up top, people down the chain resist that interference because they worry about being exposed,” Miller told me. “You let everybody know you’re watching.”

The Stone mess seems tailor-made for this. And regardless, not doing this is no longer an option.

Trump is fulfilling his pledge to build fortress America — and running on it.

By Nick Miroff | Published February 11 at 6:36 PM EST | Washington Post |

Posted February 11, 2020 |

As he rallies support for his reelection in November, President Trump is closer than ever to delivering on his promise for a United States with taller walls, tighter immigration laws and fewer foreigners entering the country.

During the past three years, the president has hardened the nation’s immigration system into an obstacle course of physical and bureaucratic barriers, causing illegal border crossings to plummet and legal immigration to slump.

The number of refugee admissions to the United States fell to the lowest level on record last year, and this year the administration set the refugee cap even lower, reserving just 18,000 spots for people who are fleeing persecution across the globe. The Trump administration also is blocking asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border and flying them instead to Guatemala or sending them back into Mexico.

Other visitors are being turned back or staying away entirely: foreign students and tourists are coming in fewer numbers, according to the latest State Department data, and green cards issued abroad since 2016 have dropped 25 percent.

“It’s no secret that the administration is consciously trying to close America to immigrants,” Lucas Guttentag, an immigration law professor at Stanford Law School, said in an email. “Trump policies and practices have attacked virtually every facet of the immigration system: effectively dismantling asylum protections at our southern border, imposing wealth restrictions on immigrants who are spouses and family members of citizens, burdening businesses that legitimately depend on skilled immigrant workers and threatening mass deportations regardless of how long or deep a person’s ties to country and community are.”

As the president continues to fulfill his promise to build hundreds of miles of steel border barriers, critics say he is retreating from former president Ronald Reagan’s vision of America as a welcoming “city upon a hill” whose doors should be “open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”

In the president’s view, the city on the hill was too permissive and vulnerable; welcoming foreigners opens the doors to an existential threat. Trump promised his supporters to wall it off, and he has stuck to that vision. His “Make America Great Again” message conjured a time before the rapid economic and demographic changes of globalization. He is leaning heavily on that message again to win in November, depicting Democrats as radical extremists who want “open borders” and those who encourage sanctuary for immigrants as enabling violence and murder.

“Border control is necessary to save our citizens’ schools, hospitals, jobs and very lives — and to keep criminals out of our communities,” said White House deputy spokesman Hogan Gidley. “President Trump’s policies are restoring the rule of law, saving lives and raising wages for African American and Hispanic American workers who have been completely forgotten and betrayed by the Democratic Party.”

On Monday, Trump’s White House released a 2021 budget proposal that would increase deportations by adding thousands of new immigration agents and expanding jail capacity. Hours later, Attorney General William P. Barr announced Justice Department lawsuits against three “sanctuary” jurisdictions that eschew cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. And at an evening rally in New Hampshire ahead of the state’s Democratic primary, the president dusted off one of his vintage campaign routines, reciting a dark allegory he calls “The Snake” about a serpent that turns on its generous host, injecting fatal venom. “This is about immigration,” he told the crowd, to raucous cheers.

“Gotta come in legally and through merit!” the president shouted. “Under my administration, we’re fully taking care of our own citizens first.”

During his State of the Union address last week, Trump spoke of immigrants almost exclusively in negative terms, railing against “sanctuary jurisdictions” and highlighting the lurid killing of a 92-year-old woman in New York last month.

While his predecessors in the Republican Party often balanced calls for tighter border controls with a reaffirmation of the country’s immigrant identity, Trump has largely dispensed with those phrases to depict newcomers as criminals, competitors and a welfare burden.

Guided by immigration hard-liner Stephen Miller, one of the president’s longest-serving and most-trusted aides, Trump and his administration have announced a flurry of new restrictions in recent months. Lawsuits from immigration advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union have slowed the implementation of some of those policies, but appellate courts have been allowing Trump’s restrictions to go forward.

The U.S. Supreme Court last month ruled 5-to-4 to allow the administration to implement its “public charge rule” — a policy central to Trump’s agenda that allows the government to deny green cards to more low-income applicants.

That decision and other court victories have given the administration new momentum after the Central American migration crisis and failed family separation plan that largely derailed Trump’s immigration agenda in 2018 and early 2019, when more than 1 million migrants streamed across the southern border.

That crisis is now relatively under control, squelched by enforcement measures that curb the ability of asylum seekers to apply for protection in the United States. The number of arrests and detentions along the U.S. southern border has plunged 75 percent since May.

Cris Ramón, an immigration analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, said the administration reached a turning point last summer when it debuted measures like the “Migrant Protection Protocols” that sent asylum seekers back across the border instead of allowing them to wait in the United States for their court dates.

By pressuring Mexico and Central America to assist with immigration enforcement, the administration was able to wield restrictive new tools Congress would not approve. Trump administration officials could then turn back to their immigration priorities in the U.S. interior.

“I think what happened in 2019 was the administration was able to pivot back to legal immigration, especially once MPP began having impact on the arrival of Central American migrants,” Ramón said. “They were slowly trying to push through reforms, and now that the crisis has diminished, they are moving forward.”

There have been signs in recent weeks that the administration is forcing fewer returns to Mexico, a process that still affords asylum seekers a hearing with a U.S. immigration judge. Instead, authorities are putting migrants on planes to Guatemala, part of the “Asylum Cooperation Agreements” the Trump administration has reached with Central American governments. The move lightens the load on U.S. courts — migrants’ asylum claims are instead deferred to other countries for processing — and eliminates an avenue migrants previously had for gaining entry.

Homeland Security officials and defenders of Trump’s immigration policies say Democrats and immigrant advocates have overreacted to the president’s policies, pointing out that the number of people taking the naturalization oath reached 833,000 in 2019, an 11-year high. The United States remains the most welcoming and generous nation in the world, they say, and no other country takes in so many immigrants and affords newcomers the same rights as its native-born citizens.

The number of immigrants already present in the United States who were issued green cards as legal permanent residents rose to nearly 577,000 last year, roughly the same as the previous year and a higher total than the last years of the Obama administration.

Immigration experts and advocates say it is not unusual to see increases in applications for permanent residency and naturalization at times of heightened anxiety about immigration status. Critics also note that wait times have soared during the past three years, and the administration is preparing to dramatically hike its fees.

Homeland Security officials have proposed raising fees for naturalization from $640 to $1,170, an 83 percent increase. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which runs the legal immigration system, is a fee-funded agency, and officials say the increase is needed to cover rising administrative costs.

Dan Tichenor, a political scientist at the University of Oregon who specializes in the history of U.S. immigration policy, said the country has not seen anything like Trump’s immigration approach since the 1920s, in the midst of the Great Depression.

“We’ve had crackdowns in the past, but what’s striking is just how broadly the Trump administration has pursued restrictions, from green cards to travel restrictions to family separation and ending DACA,” Tichenor said. The difference now is that the United States is in the middle of an economic boom, not a crash.

Trump’s first “travel ban” in early 2017 targeted mostly Muslim-majority countries, and its sudden implementation unleashed travel chaos at U.S. airports and lawsuits. The policy was blocked in federal courts, but the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the restrictions to take effect while legal challenges are pending.

Homeland Security officials say the latest nations to face restrictions are not subject to a “ban” and that only about 13,000 would-be travelers per year will be affected. The decision to announce the measures came after months of efforts to get the nations to adhere to information-sharing requirements that the administration believes are crucial to national security, officials said.

“For a small number of countries that lack either the will or the capability to adhere to these criteria, certain travel restrictions have become necessary to mitigate potential threats,” Chad Wolf, the acting homeland security secretary, said in a statement. “The new, additional restrictions are not blanket restrictions. These tailored restrictions will make the U.S. safer and more secure. And countries that make the necessary improvements will have their restrictions removed accordingly.”

The Trump administration lifted restrictions on the nation of Chad in 2018, a year after it was added to the original list.

Trump has told aides he plans to run for reelection on his immigration record and his pledge to complete more than 500 miles of new barriers along the Mexico border by early next year.

His administration has completed about 120 miles so far, according to the latest construction figures, but the White House is expected to unveil plans in coming weeks that would call for building nearly 900 miles of new barriers by 2022, mostly with money diverted from Defense Department budgets.
