News I'm Steve Inskeep and I'm Noel King good morning retired Justice John Paul Stevens served on the Supreme Court for more than 30 years he died of complications following a stroke he suffered on Monday he was 99 years old Chief Justice John Roberts announced Stevens' death in a written statement in which he called him quote a son of the Midwest heartland and a veteran of World War 2 Roberts also said Justice Stevens devoted his long life to public service his unrelenting commitment to justice has left us a better nation n.p.r. Legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg is on the line with me now good morning Nina good morning so tell us about John Paul Stevens long life and career. Well Stevens is appointed in $975.00 by President Ford he was a Republican born and bred in Chicago he was a moderate conservative and interestingly President Ford at the time said that he wanted to appoint a just as with no political ties because that was just at the beginning of the Ford administration it was right after Watergate. The resignation of President Nixon and Stevens was a well known very respected appeals court judge in Chicago beloved by his colleagues he was not on a list of likely contenders prior to this but he was a choice that Ford was very happy with spoke with glowingly up until the time of his death in fact decades after appointing Stevens President Ford in 2005 said you know you're not usually known by the justices you appoint let that not be the case with my presidency or I am prepared to allow history's judgment of my term in office to rest if necessary exclusively on my nomination 30 years of Justice John Paul Stevens he has served his nation well at times carrying out his judicial duties always with dignity intellect and without partisan political concerns and Stevens was a guy who evolved right he came in as a moderate conservative but that's not the way he left the court well he would say he didn't involve evolve and I actually think he's right he said that he didn't change it was the court that changed he was at the center right of the court when he came on but as more Republican presidents got the opportunity to name Supreme Court nominees and as those nominees were more and more conservative Stephen suddenly found himself at the left end of the court in the most liberal end of the court he hated that label because he viewed himself as a conservative what were some of his notable decisions he wrote. 400 majority opinions for the court that's a really a lot of majority opinions almost on every imaginable subject from property rights to immigration from abortion to guns to obscenity from school prayer to campaign finance reform from the relationship between the federal and state governments to the power of the presidency yet I think the decisions they will likely be remembered for are those he wrote about national security and presidential power he wrote the court's 5 to 3 decision repudiating George w. Bush's assertion of unilateral executive power in setting up war crimes tribunals Ikhwan time of a Cuba and in 2004 and a 6 to 3 decision he wrote that detainees could challenge their detention in court and both of those decisions had profound implications for the limits of presidential powers to be clear you know Noelle Bush was not the 1st president to feel the sting of Justice Stevens' words he wrote the Supreme Court's unanimous decision refusing to postpone Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton let's see summarizing his decision for the bench in 1970 and here he is dismissing the notion that the suit would be a burden on the presidency in the entire history of the Republic only 3 presidents have been subjected to it for their private action and for the case at hand there's nothing in the record to identify any potential harm that mining from scheduling a trial promptly have to discovery is concluded. You know when did you last talk with John Paul Stevens. I talked to him in April for an interview about one of his 3 books it was a memoir he told the as I said he'd written 3 since leaving office he told me that he was still swimming in the ocean in Florida. He was playing a wicked game of ping pong he bragged about it saying there was nobody his ace that he thought could be Timothy at that condo where he lived and he said he he traded in his tennis racquet for his ping pong paddle in that conversation I was reminded what a kind gentleman he wasn't what a sweet and understated temperament he had he sent pictures and a video which we posted online of him playing ping pong with a much less younger neighbor n.p.r. Legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg thanks Nina thank you Noel Alexandria Ocasio Cortez the high profile freshman representative from New York is one of the supporters of a green new deal clean energy guaranteed jobs she says when she announced that plan everybody asked how are you going to pay for that and here's what she told Morning Edition earlier this year I think the 1st thing that we need to do is kind of break the mistaken idea that taxes pay for 100 percent of government expenditure what she's saying there is that ambitious government programs can be financed through borrowing deficit spending in saying that she has spotlighted an obscure brand of economics known as modern monetary theory N.P.R.'s Scott Horsley has a beginner's guide modern monetary theory has been around for years but it's only recently stepped out of the shadows economist Jeffrey Kelson of Stony Brook University says that's partly thanks to Ocasio Cortez the social media darling embraced the theory while making an unapologetic case for costly new government programs there was something of an Oprah effect when she did that people immediately probably started Googling modern monetary theory to find out what she was referring to run that Google search and you'll quickly find Kelton herself the economist who advised Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign is one of the best known evangelist for m.m.t. Kelton says paying for big government programs is the easy part if Congress has the will she argues the Federal Reserve can effectively print. The money if Congress authorizes a few $1000000000.00 of additional spending or a few $100000000000.00 then the Fed's job is to make sure that those checks don't bounce a central element of m.m.t. Is that governments that control their own currency like the United States don't have to worry about spending more than they collect in taxes they can always create more money but Kelton says that's not a blank check for unlimited government spending too often people get a whiff of n n t they don't read the literature and they somehow arrive at the takeaway that an n.t. Is about printing prosperity and of course when people hear printing money they go straight to Zimbabwe you have fine art Germany those are notorious cases of runaway price hikes but Kelton says inflation is only a danger when demand outstrips the real capacity of the economy the people machines and raw materials last week under questioning from a cost of Cortez Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Palak knowledged the Us job market has shown more capacity to grow without triggering inflation than he and his colleagues had expected still now is no fan of m.m.t. As he told a Senate hearing back in February the idea that deficits don't matter for countries that can borrow in their own currency I think is just wrong we're going to have to either spend less or raise more revenue taxes story and Bruce Bartlett also blasted m.m.t. As little more than a fig leaf giving license for big spending in the same way Art Laffer gave Republicans cover to cut taxes with the dubious claim they'd pay for themselves m.m.t. Is sort of the last occurrence in the West some of Aunty's biggest supporters however are not liberal politicians but bond traders at firms like Pimco and Goldman Sachs James Bond who's with the investment firm g.m.o. Says he turned to m m t after more conventional economics led him astray in the 1990 s. Monday and many others. We're convinced Japan's rising government debt would drive up borrowing costs it didn't accost me and my colleagues or anyone of his stupid enough to fall I made money it was one of the well stright positions I've ever suggested in my entire life Monti says m.m.t. Offers better financial forecasts and help him understand why interest rates in the u.s. Have stayed low despite growing government deficits persistently low interest rates have also prompted some mainstream economists like Larry Summers and Jason Furman to rethink their attitudes and be less concerned about federal deficits but they haven't gone so far as to embrace m.m.t. Firman who advised for President Obama says there are always a lot of ambitious ideas floating around Washington he argues those that are really worth doing are also worth paying for.

It's Morning Edition from n.p.r. News I'm Noel King and I'm Steve Inskeep 5 years after Eric Garner died after a choke hold while in police custody federal prosecutors have made a decision they will not charge a New York City police officer involved in his death prosecutors cited insufficient evidence against Daniel Panta Layo Gardner's dying words I can't breathe what she said again and again became a national rallying cry in a flash point in the black lives matter movement those unhappy with the lack of federal prosecution include Josie Duffy Rice president of the appeal a new site that focuses on criminal justice she's also co-host of the podcast justice in America Good morning to you good morning thanks for having me what led the Justice Department to look into garners case you know it was. A long process of 5 years over 4 different attorney generals that have been looking into this case and I think and that came and and and kind of after the Staten Island us attorney decided not to charge again up until a 0 in this case almost 5 years ago in December of 2014 so kind of in light of the moment of police brutality. Being found a single case after case of. Of men and women being killed by the police especially unarmed black and brown men and women and the Department of Justice decided that they were going to bring an investigation Ok but now let's look at this decisions we now have 2 different prosecutors we have a local prosecutor we have federal prosecutors have looked into this and both said insufficient evidence I realize there's a video people have seen it people heard garners words people feel they know a lot about this but twice now prosecutors have looked into this and just found there's not enough to charge the officer who says he thought he was doing his duty as he saw it at the time is there any justification for that point of view. Well 1st I'd say that while 2 prosecutors both the Staten Island and the u.s. Attorney in Brooklyn have decided not to bring charges we also saw that the Office of Civil Rights at d.o.j. Did think that this was a case that deserved charges to be brought so there is some back and forth on on how prosecutors more broadly are looking at this case but it's very difficult right to charge police officers. In these cases because functionally they have to prove that they used they willfully used excessive force and that's a very very high standard to have to prove Oh sure because you have to know somebody is intent what was in their mind at the time right and as long as an officer can make a case that he quote unquote feared for his life he has a very very high chance of getting off we see it time after time and in cases across the country where prosecutors are very very hesitant to even bring charges against someone like Officer pantaloon could the attorney general though have made a different decision within the law even giving the given what the law says about police officers absolutely he could have brought charges right that's not that doesn't mean a conviction he could have made a case that there is an argument that the officer acted out of hand that he violated the civil rights of Eric Garner and caused his death and and he could have brought charges in fact and that if the Office of Civil Rights Act recommended that that what we see is that the attorney general bar has decided that he doesn't think that that's that that he can win this case or he doesn't think it's a case for threatening Ok Ms Rice thanks so much Thank you Josie Duffy Rice is an attorney and journalist who advocates for criminal justice reform the u.s. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama celebrated the anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch yesterday by trying to set a new world record Britannia hill from w l r h has the story.

News I'm Joel King and I'm Steve Inskeep What really happened at Planned Parenthood the Reproductive Health Organization is forever in the middle of a white hot battle over abortion rights and now it is in the middle of a leadership change Dr Lena when is out as President people who follow the news may think Wait didn't Planned Parenthood just recently get a new president and you wouldn't be wrong because Dr When did not serve all that long N.P.R.'s Sarah McCammon covers reproductive rights and joins us now good morning Steve how does when say she was asked. Well 1st of all you're right she was just there about 10 months and she said on Twitter that she was pushed out after a secret meeting she said that came after what she described as good faith negotiations over her exit so she was there she's planning to leave but she didn't expect to leave in this way she released a long letter after that in which she says she was on her way out over philosophical differences with Planned Parenthood and one point she said she'd come there to work on a broad range of health care issues but that quote The new board leadership has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy and when it did go on to say that she understands the reasons for that shift given the political moment and she'll do everything she can to ensure a smooth transition Well that's interesting because it suggests that there is a much larger issue at play here that there's a big question about how this organization wants to confront the moment when when many states are cracking down on abortion rights what is Planned Parenthood saying about why she left there's been no official explanation from Planned Parenthood other than just to say she's out has been replaced on an interim basis and they thank her for her service wish her well but I've spoken to several people close to the organization Steve who tell me a number of things they say there were issues with Wenz leadership style from the beginning that she wasn't a great fit with the organization a lot of key leaders and other staff left Planned Parenthood after wind came in and another factor I've been told is whens background as a public health official and a physician sources say she seemed more comfortable at times talking about a broader range of health issues than advocating for abortion rights which she sort of indicates in her letter Yeah and this again is at a time when reproductive rights advocates feel very much under attack I did reach out to women's team communications team for response they released a statement to n.p.r. That said she was making big changes that she'd been hired to realign the organization and saying the board essentially knew who she was in should have stood by her and they also referred me to several former professional colleagues and associates who praised her work and leadership style it is fair to ask. I mean she was only hired 10 months ago a lot has happened in 10 months but it was approximately the same political moment why did they think in the beginning that she was the right person for a while I have been told again by sources close to the organization that when she replaced Cecile Richards the former president who was a long time president high profile advocate for abortion rights hiring a physician was seen as a good way to position of course and as part of the larger battle over health care not just a political issue but at the same time the source said when a lot of staff at Planned Parenthood saw it when as essentially shying away from the abortion issue and people at Planned Parenthood many of them are very proud to advocate for that and there were some frustrations I'm told about her willingness and ability to do that again in this moment is this an awkward moment for the organization to be casting about for new leadership I would say so given the challenges we've seen to abortion rights at the state level. Potential Supreme Court battles looming in the next couple of years heading into a presidential election this is a pivotal time there are a lot of battles on both sides of this issue right now and I think it says a lot that they were his ation has chosen to so quickly replace its leader at this moment that does tell you a lot about what was going on under the surface the interim leader is Alexis McGill Johnson a longtime Planned Parenthood board member until she's well liked but she's going to have a lot of challenges ahead and so will the new permanent director whenever that person is chosen really interesting story thanks for your reporting on Sarah thank you n.p.r. Sarah McCammon President Trump is as you know facing criticism after he tweeted over the weekend that 4 Democratic congress women should go back to where they came from but a lot of people who voted for the president still support him Olivia Rheingold of Yellowstone Public Radio went to a shooting range in Billings Montana and talked to some people there. At Black Beauty range drone Holly showing a customer how to shoot just semiautomatic question you can. Better handle right there Ok hole is a military veteran who served in Afghanistan. Now he's the gunsmith at the range when he 1st saw Trump's tweet he thought it was funny and still does it just makes me giggle that everybody's all up in arms about this that's because he doesn't think Trump was making a racial comment but rather one about the places these Congress people represent trumps and then you go back to their country is pretty much I'm saying go back to California go back to New York he wonders if Trump misspoke and meant just a state rather than country following terms we can tweet Montana's Republican u.s. Senator Steve Gaines tweeted his own support for the president It read quote Montanans are sick and tired of listening to anti-American anti-Semite radical democrats trash our country and our ideals This is America we're the greatest country in the world I stand with at real Donald Trump and quote that's not necessarily a controversial statement in Montana where Trump won by 20 percent in the popular vote against Democrat Hillary Clinton they've gone back again just danger I can help you black beauty range co owner Andrew Stapleton is a Montana native who says he doesn't agree with everything President Trump does but he stands by him when it comes to the controversial tweets ascension how I read this is don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house meaning that if the 4 Democratic congresswoman that Trump was referring to you can't solve problems in their own districts they shouldn't dish out criticism of the president's policies Stapleton says Trump's tweets weren't about race or nationality it just has to do with go back and fix your areas and then you can try to fix my area. Montana native Tanner line Perry came into the range to purchase an extended slide stop for his handgun it helps the gun go boom he sells building supplies to construction companies and calls himself a trump supporter mostly because of the economy but it's really it's true like the condom is very strong right now the numbers don't really a lie but he says Trump's wins go beyond the economy working on policy foreign policy to going in meeting with leaders that they never had progress with those people before presidents haven't so he's not to worry. About the tweets or the controversy that's followed he says they're a distraction from the president's accomplishments Lang Berry says he's been watching Fox News in his office all day and reads the tweet just one more time was make sure he got it right then come back and show us how reaction I mean.

The study didn't try to show why work made a difference but my add a says there are lots of possibilities cognitive stimulation social benefits of working as well as financial benefits for example financial independence for women who are engaged in the paid labor force poverty is a known risk factor for mental decline in later life Heather Snyder a scientist at the all Summers Association says in the past researchers thought more women got old Simers because they live longer than men she says a few years ago that thinking began to change as we started to look at the science and what the science was showing it did start to suggest that there were differences in the brains of women and men that may contribute to why more women are living with this disease than Snyder says know lots of Alzheimers researchers are studying sex differences there's different biology that contributes to an individual's risk changes in hormonal systems throughout life our immune system women and men have different immune systems and that's no different in our brain at the conference one team reported that women's brains maintain a higher metabolism than men says all timers developes another team found that the risk of Alzheimers is influenced by different genes in men and women. Della Sanderson a neuro epidemiologist at the National Institute on Aging says it's remarkable that scientists are only now beginning to understand sex differences in all Simers sex is such a basic variable it's one of the key variables that we look at in population studies and you'd think that we really would have nailed things down by now but no Anderson says the National Institutes of Health is working to change that by funding more studies that look for sex differences in the brain John Hamilton n.p.r.

For the California airport Imax of another n.t. Quanah now a warning this next story contains material that may be upsetting to some listeners here in Los Angeles $22.00 n.s. 13 gang members and associates are in jail charged with committing the only 200 crimes in several states over 9 years that according to a federal indictment issued Tuesday of those 16 members of a San Fernando Valley Click are accused of murdering 7 people over the last 2 years Los Angeles u.s.

In the 1980 s. By refugees from El Salvador it has a reputation as being a particularly violent gang so we're going to move now to Riverside County where officials with the Southern California Gas Company have identified the man who died in a natural gas explosion in Mori at 31 year old Wade Kilpatrick was lead construction technician for So Cal gas and he'd worked for the utility for 11 years the explosion took place after a solar contractor ruptured a gas line while doing installation work 3 firefighters and 12 civilians were injured in the blast now let's go to Bodega Bay where marine biologists say something terrible has happened in the muscle beds there and a recent heat wave the muscles were basically cooked in their own shells k.c.b. X. Reporter Greg Marte went there k.c.b. X. Reporter Gretta Mark went there to learn why scientists are now worried about all the other marine life living in the muscle beds. First saw something that wasn't quite right instead of stretches of healthy tightly closed dark blue and black shells she saw huge areas of pale colored insides and open muscle is a dead muscle it wasn't just a few muscles definitely hundreds and you know just a patch below your feet and then going along the shoreline tens of thousands of muscles potentially even more had died as the u.c. Davis Marine researcher walked among the tide pools her ears confirm the diagnosis . Now the empty shells clattering our hands. In our colleagues at the Vatican Marine Laboratory unreserved immediately connected the dead muscles to an un seasonal keep wave that hit the Sonoma Coast last month it's counterintuitive but it wasn't warm ocean water that cooked the mussels it was hot air it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit here on June 10th and scientists say that the inner titled zone micro planet got a lot hotter it might have been 6 hours or more of exposure to. So warm air which is pretty severe for marine animal muscles are a foundation species meaning they create habitat and food for more than $300.00 other plants animals like corals on the coral reef so they actually create a cooler and drier bit Vironment with less light higher humidity environment it's a lot of intervals you know they're living among this matrix of muscles and says there was a similar muscle die off here in 2004 she thinks this most recent event points to a larger problem in this particular case it is important to think about the direct cause so we had an extreme heat event extreme heat events are predicted to become more frequent in the future due to overall global climate change so says it may take a few years for this ecosystem to recover for the California report.
