Josh and Liam revisit the Friday Five format for this week's episode, discussing tax reform and yesterday's budget adoption by the House, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and talk of US renegotiations and/or withdrawal, Congressional retirements and Senators Corker and Flake, the state of the GOP, and the outlook for Midterm elections.

Josh sits down with Paul Nathanson, George Felcyn, and Frank Maisano to discuss the U.S. International Trade Commission's controversial Section 201 solar imports case. From the history of Section 201 petitions to the motives of this case's plaintiffs to the sheer impact of the proposed tariffs, our team breaks down this complex subject.

Josh and Liam discuss the latest developments at the EPA regarding the Obama Administration's Clean Power Plan (CPP) with our Bracewell colleague Jeff Holmstead, former assistant administrator of the EPA for Air and Radiation and current head of Bracewell's Environmental Strategies Group. Jeff lends his expertise to help explain the background and politics of the CPP, this week's draft Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) for replacing the CPP, and what that means at this stage.
