Time’s Up (1990).

To the Editor:

As a lawyer, I am horrified about whether Donald Trump and Mike Pence will make good on their promise to oppose vital laws protecting access to health care, fighting climate change, honoring treaties and ensuring gun control.

As the father of a mixed-raced daughter, I am scared about whether their hateful words about women and minorities will be reflected in their policies.

But I am mostly scared as a gay man. The Republican Party platform doesn’t include anti-gay policies only to motivate the party’s base. It includes them because most (not all) of its members intend to pursue those policies at the federal, state and local level.

I realize that eliminating equal protection of gay families was not the issue motivating most people to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence. But that is no comfort to the millions of diverse families in the United States today who find their equality once again at risk.

Here are the latest rankings. There are only two undefeated teams: Western Michigan and Alabama. They should meet in the title game.

To the Editor:

After a deeply polarizing election, Donald Trump’s priority should be bipartisanship. So, here are three things President Trump ought to do:

1. Nominate a moderate Supreme Court justice, such as Judge Consuelo María Callahan of the Ninth Circuit. Ms. Callahan, who is Hispanic, was nominated by George W. Bush and was confirmed 99 to 0 by the Senate.

2. Select several Democrats for high-profile cabinet positions. Senators Joe Manchin and Joe Donnelly, both of whom are known for their bipartisanship, would be good candidates.

3. Resist the temptation to fill vacancies with partisan surrogates like Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani. Instead, Mr. Trump should look to outsiders, such as Paul Brest, former dean of Stanford Law School, and the activist investor Carl Icahn.

Mr. Trump emphasizes the value of being unpredictable. Reaching out across the aisle would be the best way for him to demonstrate that quality.
