  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

  • HEARING OFFICER RESUME Page 1 of 5
    HEARING OFFICER RESUME Page 1 of 5 HON. PAUL A. VICTOR (Ret.) Justice of the Supreme Court, Bronx Justice Paul A. Victor brings an abundance of dispute resolution experience and expertise to NAM’s Metro panel. As a Justice of the Supreme Court in New York State, including 5 years as presiding Justice in the NYC Settlement and Trial Assignment part and as a Judicial Hearing Officer thereafter in charge of the Pre-trial Settlement Conference Part, Judge Victor engaged in thousands of successful dispute resolution settlement conferences. In his judicial capacity, he presided over and handled a wide assortment of complex commercial, business and real estate matters as well as an extensive variety of tort, personal injury and medical malpractice actions. His career as a jurist and litigator was buttressed and enhanced by his college foundation in Business Administration, where he secured a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from Fordham University Business School. Coupled with Justice Victor’s fair, proactive approach to resolving disputes, he has consistently proved enormously effective, and he is known for outstanding results. Justice Victor’s achievements, and the fair and even-handed manner in which he conducted himself, earned him the Bronx Bar Association’s Extraordinary Service Award, the Columbian Lawyers Association’s Charles A. Rapallo Award, and an Induction into the Fordham Preparatory School Hall of Honor. Judge Victor was elected to the Supreme Court in January 2000, where he served until retirement in December 2009. More than 100 of his decisions were selected for publication by the New York Law Journal as a “Decision of Interest” and/or by the New York State Official Reporter as a decision “considered as worthy of being reported because of its usefulness as a precedent or important as a matter of public interest.” Two such cases include: Reyes vs.

    THE LABOR POLICY OF THE FREE SOCIETY by SYLVESTER PETRO PROFESSOR OF LAW NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW THE RONALD PRESS COMPANY • NEW YORK Copyright, (c), 1957, by THE RONALD PRESS COMPANY All Rights Reserved The text of this publication or any part thereof may not be reproduced in. any manner whatsoever without permission in writing from the publisher. 5c Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 57-6822 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA To LUDWIG VON MISES and WILLIAM WINSLOW CROSSKEY Since that moment when man first looked upon himself and saw the image of God, he has struggled against all the powers of nature and the supernatural, and against all the tyrannies of his fellow man, to fulfill the promise in that image. He has lived to the full, in pleasure and pain, the gregarious life to which half of his instincts and appetites committed him. And in response to the other half, he has striven in every element on earth, in the skies above the earth and in the waters under the earth, to express himself as an individual. —Whitney Griswold PREFACE I have two objectives in offering this book to the public. I wish to define the essential features of the free society, and to advance certain proposals in the field of labor relations. These two objectives have, as it seems to me, many things in common, not the least of which is their common relevance to those promi- nent current problems which set our era apart in history. While we speak frequently of the free society, there is reason to believe that its essential nature is not clearly perceived by all its pro- ponents.
