    House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015

    House Votes to Keep Guantanamo Open 5/26/2015 The House passed its version of the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (2016 NDAA), H.R. 1735, on May 15, 2015. After rejecting a floor amendment that would have eased Guantanamo detainee transfer restrictions after the Administration’s submission of a detailed plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, the House voted to clamp down on detainee transfers, prohibiting them altogether in certain circumstances. The bill would also beef up reporting requirements regarding detainee recidivism, and require receipt of a set of unredacted correspondence and documents related to the controversial transfer of five high-level Taliban detainees to Qatar in exchange for U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, a swap that was challenged as unlawful by its critics, and limit expenditures by the Office of the Secretary of Defense until their submission is accomplished. TheAdministration has objected to the Guantanamo provisions and threatened to recommend a presidential veto if Congress approves them. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States. The bill would continue the absolute bar on the transfer of Guantanamo detainees into the United States for any purpose, as well as the prohibition on building or modifying facilities in the United States to house such detainees. As amended on the floor, both prohibitions would apply to all federal government agencies and would extend for two years after the bill’s enactment. Transfer of Guantanamo detainees to foreign countries. The bill would repeal Section 1035 of the 2014 NDAA (described in a prior Legal Sidebar post and this CRS report) and revert to the previous set of restrictions on detainee transfers to foreign countries (as described in more detail in this CRS report).

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

    Your Ten Minute Read! Daily News Page January 22Nd, 2021

    Your ten minute read! Daily News Page January 22nd, 2021 Law, Policy and Governance Analysis : Are courts encroaching on the powers of the executive ​ 1. Background - On January 12, 2021, the Supreme Court stayed the implementation of three controversial farm laws passed in September 2020 and ordered the constitution of a committee of experts to negotiate between the farmers’ bodies and the Government of India. - Rather than deliberating on the constitutionality of the three laws, the court appears to be trying to move some of the parties towards a political settlement. Arguably, in doing so, it is wading into the domain of the government. Has the court in this case abdicated its constitutional duty mandated by the Constitution and is this a growing trend? 2. What the procedure ought to be - What’s really striking here is that nobody asked the court to intervene in this particular manner, to break the deadlock. The Court does not take up any constitutional issues though these issues have been pleaded before the court by the farmers associations. The issues are of federalism, of agriculture being a State subject, as well as the manner in which the voice vote was passed in the Rajya Sabha, which was controversial. What is striking is that the court does not even set out clearly what the legal grounds of challenge are. - Courts are, of course, competent to issue stay orders on parliamentary laws, but they need to set out legal reasons. What we see is that the court is actually abdicating its constitutional responsibility of judicial review.

We love you, respect you and proud of you. We appreciate your hard work. You soil your hands and feet to feed us. We enjoy an abundant food supply through the year, stay in balance, nourished because of you. You are committed to provide us with food and all essentials through the year. You work all day long in season and out of season. All seasons are a reason to prepare the ground to be fertile. We admire your patience with invasive insects and unpredictable weather. We see on your face a smile when the crop is in full swing and a determination to harvest through to build our economy. Once again a big thanks to our farmers –you are our fathers, brothers, sisters and mothers. May you continue to shine and to light our homes. Note of Appreciation: to our dear staff Mr. Vincent for encouraging our students to pen down on the happenings of our farming community. Thank you my dear students, for your contrinbution to this newsletter… God bless all of us!!! Dr.Sr.Lalitha “No race can prosper until it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.” — Booker T. Washington “Agriculture engenders good sense, and good sense of an excellent kind” As the farmers' agitation at the Delhi borders entered the 60th day on Sunday, all eyes are on the farmers' tractor rally (kisan parade) on Republic Day.
