					<description><![CDATA[The new president of The Florida Bar says the organization is standing by to offer “technical legal” support to the Constitution Revision Commission as it readies to amend the state’s governing document, which could include changes affecting the judicial branch. But Michael J. Higer, a partner in Berger Singerman’s Miami office, won’t say which public proposals already filed he favors—or fears. He assumed the Bar presidency on June 23. “It is too early in the process to focus on any&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Senate on Thursday confirmed Alex Acosta as Labor secretary, filling out President Donald Trump&#8216;s Cabinet as he approaches his 100th day in office. The 60-38 vote confirms Acosta to the post. Once sworn as the nation&#8217;s 27th Labor secretary, the son of Cuban immigrants will lead a sprawling agency that enforces more than 180 federal laws covering about 10 million employers and 125 million workers. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., spoke for many Republicans with a statement issued just after&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Government lawyers fighting to defend President Donald Trump&#8216;s executive order on immigration said Friday that &#8220;all options&#8221; are being considered after a federal appeals court ruled against the president&#8217;s ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations. A Justice Department lawyer who spoke at a hearing in Virginia said the administration was weighing whether to challenge a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that upheld a temporary block on Trump&#8217;s ban, saying it was unlikely to survive a legal&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump insisted Thursday that comments by his Supreme Court nominee criticizing his own attacks on the judiciary were &#8220;misrepresented,&#8221; even as Republican and Democratic lawmakers vouched for the veracity of the remarks. Trump responded after private rebukes from Judge Neil Gorsuch, who said in meetings with lawmakers on Wednesday that the president&#8217;s comments about federal judges were &#8220;disheartening.&#8221; Gorsuch, who was nominated by Trump last week to the nation&#8217;s highest court, made the comments in meetings with senators&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A defiant President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday adamantly denied reports that Russia had obtained compromising personal and financial information about him, calling it a &#8220;tremendous blot&#8221; on the record of the intelligence community if such material had been released. The incoming president, in his first news conference since late July, firmly chided news organizations for publishing the material late Tuesday night. After weeks of scoffing at reports that Russians had interfered in the election, he conceded publicly for the first&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton&#8216;s advisers are crafting a domestic policy agenda for the opening months of a potential presidency that is centered on three issues with some level of Republican support: an infrastructure package that emphasizes job creation, criminal justice reform, and immigration legislation — with the promise of quick executive action if a bill fails in Congress. Clinton&#8217;s campaign aides and transition team have been emphasizing the trio of priorities in conversations with lawmakers and advocacy groups, according to several people&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ New ID requirements. Unfamiliar or distant polling places. Names missing from the voter rolls. Those are just some of the challenges that could disrupt voting across the country through Election Day. While most elections have their share of glitches, experts worry conditions are ripe this year for trouble at the nation&#8217;s polling places. This is the first presidential election year without a key enforcement provision of the federal Voting Rights Act, and 14 states have enacted new registration or voting&#8230;]]></description>
