• '130,000 - 210,000 Avoidable COVID-19 Deaths - and Counting - in the U.S.'

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Overview: "This report looks at the staggering and disproportionate nature of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] fatalities in the United States, which now ranks first in the world in the total number of fatalities, to estimate how many deaths were 'avoidable.' With more than 217,000, lives lost, and a proportional mortality rate twice that of neighboring Canada and more than fifty times that of Japan -- a country with a much older population than the U.S. - the United States has turned a global crisis into a devastating tragedy. Through comparative analysis and applying proportional mortality rates, we estimate that at least 130,000 deaths and perhaps as many as 210,000 could have been avoided with earlier policy interventions and more robust federal coordination and leadership."

• Supreme Court Appointment Process: Senate Debate and Confirmation Vote [Updated October 16, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Introduction: "The procedure for appointing a Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States is provided for by the Constitution in only a few words. The 'Appointments Clause' (Article II, Section 2, clause 2) states that the President 'shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court.' The process of appointing Justices has undergone changes over two centuries, but its most basic feature--the sharing of power between the President and Senate--has remained unchanged. To receive an appointment to the Court, a candidate must first be nominated by the President and then confirmed by the Senate. This report provides information and analyses related to the debate and consideration of Supreme Court nominations by the full Senate once nominations are reported by the Judiciary Committee."

• Fetal Viability and Judge Amy Coney Barrett [October 16, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "The Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett has prompted greater scrutiny of her judicial opinions, academic writing, and statements to discern how she might decide future cases if she were confirmed to the High Court. With cases involving the Affordable Care Act, the First Amendment, and civil rights on the Court's docket in its current term, Judge Barrett's views on these subjects are being carefully reviewed. Commentators are also examining Judge Barrett's background and writing to try to gauge her views on the Court's seminal 1973 abortion decision, 'Roe v. Wade'. Although the Supreme Court's docket does not include any cases involving abortion at the moment, the Court is considering whether to review 'Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization'. 'Dobbs' implicates one of 'Roe's' 'essential holdings': that a state may not completely prohibit abortion before fetal viability, a point in fetal development when a fetus is able to live outside of the mother's womb with or without artificial assistance. Judge Barrett joined a dissenting opinion in a 2018 case involving an Indiana law that would have restricted abortions based on fetal characteristics such as sex or a Down syndrome diagnosis. While joining a judicial opinion authored by another judge does not necessarily reflect full agreement with the underlying opinion, it may grant some insight into Judge Barrett's views. This Sidebar examines that 2018 dissent and discusses 'Dobbs' as it awaits further consideration by the Court."

• Disaster Recovery: COVID-19 Pandemic Intensifies Disaster Recovery Challenges for K-12 Schools

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "More than 260 presidentially-declared major disasters have occurred since 2017, affecting every state and several U.S. territories, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Many of these natural disasters have had devastating effects, including rendering K-12 [kindergarten-12th grade] school facilities unusable for extended periods of time. These schools are now experiencing the compounding challenge of recovering from these natural disasters while managing effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Social distancing practices and building closures are meant to keep staff and students safe, but may also complicate recovery efforts for disaster-affected districts. The Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019 provided funds for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to audit issues related to presidentially-declared major disasters that occurred in 2018. We reviewed (1) how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected schools recovering from recent natural disasters, and (2) support the U.S. Department of Education (Education) has provided to help schools recover from recent natural disasters and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected schools' use of these resources."

• Federal Eviction Moratoriums in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic [Updated October 14, 2020]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) imposed a nationwide temporary federal moratorium on residential evictions due to nonpayment of rent. The stated purpose of the order is preventing the further spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), specifically by preventing homelessness and overcrowded housing conditions resulting from eviction. The action, which followed an Executive Order directing the CDC to consider such a measure, is unprecedented, both in terms of the federal reach into what is traditionally state and local governance of landlord-tenant law and its use of a public health authority for this purpose. The new national eviction moratorium took effect less than two weeks after the expiration of a different and narrower set of eviction protections established by the CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act (§4024). This Insight compares the two eviction moratoriums across several key features and ends with a review of some outstanding questions raised by the new moratorium."
