Fed's Decision on Interest Rates

Should the economy pick up speed over the coming year, the Fed will begin switching to 'inflation fighter' mode."

Co-editor of the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, DeYoung is a leading scholar on performance, practice and regulation in the banking industry.

Trump's Immigration Travel Ban Do-Over
James Goodnow
Political Commentator
Fennemore Craig
Goodnow is available to provide expert legal and political commentary on Trump's new travel ban, which he calls the legal equivalent of a "hot mess." Although the ban is significantly revised, it also fails to correct several of the key problems that most troubled the 9th Circuit and other courts, says Goodnow: "President Trump's new travel ban addresses many of the most egregious legal sticking points raised by the 9th Circuit by expressly exempting Green Card holders, exempting current visa holders, removing the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees, and removing an express preference for any religion. These changes will help the White House avoid many of the thorniest legal issues they faced in the first go-round. Despite these changes, legally speaking, the new travel ban may be DOA. The reason: pretext. Courts will not look at the order in a vacuum -- instead, they will consider the order in context to determine if it's really a mask for religious discrimination."

President Trump's Revised Travel Ban
Lua K. Yuille
Associate Professor of Law
University of Kansas
Yuille can discuss President Trump's revised travel ban, its constitutionality, the previous ban, immigration law and related topics: "Among the most important consequences of these orders is the way they are, finally, shining light on the powerful sword given to the executive in immigration matters. There are no guarantees it will be wielded as directed or desired."

• THE PRESIDENT AND PRESS FREEDOM: MAKING THE CASE FOR OPEN ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. When it comes to covering government officials, there's one person who holds the key to access: the communications officer. Press secretaries and communications officers are the gatekeepers to their principals. Sometimes, they monitor interviews; they also may select those who will be handed a story. Access control isn't new, but the manner and tone in which it's being carried out in today's White House is different. It's gotten the attention of media agencies. Read more: http://bit.ly/2mZJa7B
