Supreme Court sides with
Obama in Israeli dispute
Richard Wolf
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON
The Supreme
Court declined Monday to insert itself into the middle of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict by
second-guessing U.S. policy on
Jerusalem.
Ruling a few months after an
open feud between President
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the
justices refused to allow Americans born in Jerusalem to have
their passports changed to reflect Israel as their birthplace, as
Congress demanded over a decade ago.
In denying the challenge
waged by the Jewish parents of
Menachem Zivotofsky, 12, the
court heeded the State Department warning that a simple
passport alteration could “provoke uproar throughout the
Arab and Muslim world.”
Justice Anthony Kennedy
wrote the 6-3 decision for the
court, which needed more than
seven months after oral arguments in early November to
decide the congressional law
was unconstitutional.
“The power to recognize or
CAROLYN KASTER, AP
The parents of Menachem Zivotofsky challenged passport policy.
decline to recognize a foreign
state and its territorial bounds
resides in the president alone,”
Kennedy said, citing examples
from the French Revolution in
1793 to President Carter’s recognition of the People’s Republic of China in 1979.
“Recognition is an act with immediate and powerful significance
for
international
relations, so the president’s position must be clear. Congress
cannot require him to contradict his own statement regarding a determination of formal
recognition.”
Chief Justice John Roberts
and Justices Antonin Scalia and
Samuel Alito dissented. They
sided with Congress, which
passed a law in 2002 allowing
Americans born in Jerusalem to
have Israel listed as their place
of birth on their passports.
“Today’s decision is a first,”
Roberts said. “Never before has
this court accepted a president’s
direct defiance of an act of Congress in the field of foreign affairs.” He said the court was
bowing to fears that the congressional law could be misinterpreted as changing U.S.
foreign policy, rather than simply allowing citizens to define
their place of birth.
Scalia argued that the ruling
establishes “a principle that the
nation must have a single foreign policy, which elevates efficiency above the test and
structure of the Constitution.”
He said that would “systematically favor the president at the
expense of Congress.”
Justice Clarence Thomas
agreed that Congress cannot circumvent the president on passports but argued that the law
can be applied to consular reports of birth abroad.
GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN,
GERMANY President Obama said
Monday his administration is
working on ways to accelerate the
training of Iraqi security forces,
whose recent setback against the
Islamic State prompted criticism
of Obama’s strategy for defeating
the militant group.
“One of the areas where we are
going to have to improve is the
speed at which we’re training Iraqi forces,” Obama said at a briefing here after the conclusion of
the Group of Seven summit of
major industrialized democracies. “We’re reviewing a range of
plans for how we might do that.”
Obama did not address whether that could result in an increase
in the number of U.S. troops in
Iraq, but he didn’t rule it out.
On Sunday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said the
United Kingdom would send 125
more military trainers to Iraq, increasing its contingent to 200.
“What is fair to say is that all
the countries in the international
coalition are prepared to do more
to train Iraqi security forces,” the
president said.
Obama said that in return for
additional coalition training, the
Shiite-dominated government of
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi would have to take a number of steps, including greater
outreach to Sunni tribes. Many
tribes have been fighting the militants but complain of a lack of
support from Iraq’s government.
Obama cited the alliance of
Sunni tribes in 2006, which
helped U.S. troops drive al-Qaeda
from Ramadi and other parts of
the surrounding Anbar province.
The Islamic State’s recent capture of Ramadi, a key city in the
Sunni heartland, prompted a reconsideration of the administration’s strategy in Iraq.
The U.S. has about 3,000
troops in Iraq, including about
650 trainers and advisers. Obama
has set tight limits on a military
role to avoid a return to combat
by U.S. troops, who withdrew in
2011 after eight years of war.
After meeting with Obama
here Monday, al-Abadi repeated
his request for global assistance.

Moist May a milestone month in the USA
Doyle Rice
USA TODAY
Fueled by colossal rainfall totals in the nation’s midsection,
May was the wettest month ever
recorded in U.S. history, the National Centers for Environmental
Information said Monday.
Of the 1,445 months since U.S.
weather records began in January 1895, May was the soggiest
single month.
More than 20 states in the
Plains and Midwest were wetter
than average in May and were responsible for the record, even
though most states along the East
Coast were drier than normal.

Total precipitation in May for
the contiguous U.S. was 4.36
inches, which is 1.45 inches above
average, the information center
said. This is an average of all the
precipitation
measurements
across the country for the month.
The heavy rain in the southern
Plains skewed the national precipitation ranking to such a degree that even the dry East and
West coasts couldn’t lower the average, the report said.
“The majority of the precipitation fell in the southern Plains,”
said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with the information center.
“This shows how a regional event
can affect national statistics.”
Both Texas and Oklahoma had
their wettest months on record,
ending the drought in each state
but causing deadly flooding.
“The disaster of the floods ended the catastrophe of the
drought,” Crouch said. The statewide average rainfall in Oklahoma in May was 14.06 inches, the
information center reported.
Colorado had a record wet
May, but not its wettest single
month on record.
Meanwhile, seven states from
the Southeast to New England
had May rain totals far below average, but none set a record.
Crouch said the wet May stems
in part from El Niño, the climate
pattern that tends to bring rain
across the nation’s southern tier.
He said there is no apparent
trend to the top wettest months,
as they’re scattered throughout
the historical record. The secondwettest month was October 2009.

DINING
The regular menu has some familiar pub items but where Tropics

The jalapeño poppers are made
using local jalapeños, daily deliveries of fresh fish are used in the

I can understand why. Mauna

a timeless oasis where generations have made their memories.

experienced when I escaped the

Hawaiian Helicopters tour.
One of the highlights is that I had
the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to pay my respects while literally
hovering over the hallowed waters
of historical Pearl Harbor, the
Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri, where countless
men and women gave their lives

course, happy hour drink and
food specials every day from 3
to 6 p.m., and a delicious menu
of fresh items (almost nothing is
frozen), this place has quickly
become an area favorite since it
opened in July 2014.
Hawaiian Sunrise Shells are a
beautiful sight to behold. Each
one has unique splashes of pink,
red, orange, yellow and purple
shades, akin to what you would
see during an actual Hawaiian

that their common name may
have arisen because of this asset
or perhaps because they were
once abundantly found on the
shorelines in locations like Ke‘e
Beach on Kauai at sunrise.

guidelines. For additional information, call 808-529-4700 or speak to your Account
