USA: resolution on Arunachal Pradesh in Senate slams China, backs India

Senator Bill Hagerty, who introduced the resolution along with Senator&nbsp;Jeff Merkley, said on 14 March 2023 that US needs to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with India.

In a fresh sign of support to India amid China's border aggression, a resolution in the United States Senate has said that America recognises the McMahon Line as the international boundary between China and Arunachal Pradesh.
The bipartisan resolution expresses support for recognising Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India, while condemning China's aggression at the Line of Actual Control.

USA: anti-China resolution saying Arunachal Pradesh is India's 'integral part' introduced in Senate

The resolution was introduced by Senators Jeff Markley and Bill Haggerty, and co-sponsored by John Cornyn.

Amid rising animosity between the United States of America and China, and strengthening partnership between Washington and Delhi, a significant resolution has been introduced in the US Congress.
Three powerful Senators introduced a resolution in the Senate on 16 February 2023 reaffirming that Arunachal Pradesh is an "integral part of India".
The resolution supports India's "sovereignty and integrity", and also condemns China's "use of military force" to change the status quo along the disputed border between India and China called the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

The mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde was horrific, but not new in America. At least 40 such incidents have taken place at American schools, colleges, and universities in 2022 so far. Reacting to the Texas shooting, US President Joe Biden gave an impassioned speech for change, but it is unlikely.
One of the biggest enablers of such shooting incidents is believed to be lenient gun laws, making it easy for people to buy firearms. But repeated attempts to make gun laws stricter have faced hurdle after hurdle in the US Congress.
Many legislators belonging to the Republican party oppose stricter laws, claiming that it would be a violation of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which states that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

After the latest tragedy, Senator Ted Cruz said, "You see politicians trying to politicise it. You see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. That doesn't work. It's not effective. It doesn't prevent crime. We know what does prevent crime, which is going after felons and fugitives, and those with serious mental illness."
A few gun control legislations are currently being considered in the US Congress.
One of the bills, called the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, has been passed by the House of Representatives. It was placed on the Senate's legislative calendar after the Texas incident. It aims to close the "Charleston loophole" which allows some licensed gun sales to conclude without a background check.
Another bill, called the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, has also been passed by the House. The bill aims to expand background checks for all firearm sales or transfers. It has support from many legislators belonging to both Republican and Democratic camps.
But this is not enough to get it passed. When gun control laws reach the US Senate, they are come under threat from the filibuster.
The filibuster is a rule in the Senate which allows any member to block voting on a bill, simply by not letting the debate on it end. This can involve hours of non-stop speaking, sometimes through the night, to force the other side to withdraw or delay a decision on the bill. To overcome a filibuster and initiate voting, Senators pushing gun control laws would need 60 votes. And this means getting sizeable Republican support, which appears next to impossible.
So, why are Republicans against stricter gun laws, even if it means tragedies like the Texas one? One of the reasons, as President Biden suggested, could be gun lobbies, which do not want firearm sales to go down because of strict laws.
A more fundamental reason could be voter preferences. In a 2020 survey by Pew, 46% people said that the Republican party reflected their views on gun policy, while 42% said that the Democratic party reflected it better. In a 2021 survey by Gallup, 50% people were either satisfied with existing gun laws, or wanted looser laws. 41% were dissatisfied and wanted stricter gun laws.

Trump nominee Barrett confirmed to US Supreme Court

In a big win for Donald Trump just days before the polls, the US Senate confirmed conservative jurist Amy Coney Barrett as the Supreme Court's newest justice on Monday

In a big win for Donald Trump just days before the polls, the US Senate confirmed conservative jurist Amy Coney Barrett as the Supreme Court's newest justice on Monday. The deeply divided chamber voted 52 to 48, largely along party lines in the Republican-controlled Senate. Barrett is the third Trump nominee to reach the high court which now has a six-to-three conservative majority. 48-year-old Barrett, who is a religious conservative, replaces late justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the liberal icon and women's rights advocate who died on September 18 at age 87.

Comey slams Trump's comment on white supremacist groups

James Comey, former FBI Director has said that Donald Trump's inability to condemn white supremacist groups is like "spraying gasoline with a fire hose".
Comey was responding to questions before a Senate judiciary committee,&nbsp;on&nbsp;how Trump's statements affect the FBI's ability to fight threats from far-right groups.
The US has witnessed continued countrywide protests under the Black Lives Matter&nbsp;banner over the last 4 months, many of which turned violent.

BITE:&nbsp;
"The FBI is fighting a fire of racist violence, and with words like that, the President is using a fire hose to spray gasoline on that fire. And as I, maybe he misspoke, maybe when he said stand down and stand by he meant something else. I sure hope for the sake of our whole country, he'll say that today what he really meant to condemn these groups."
