President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine fired his country’s prosecutor general and the leader of its domestic intelligence agency on Sunday, the most significant shake-up in his government since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion in February. The dismissals of the prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, and Ivan Bakanov, the leader of the Security Service of Ukraine — and a childhood friend of the president — were announced in brief decrees. In a televised speech later Sunday night, Mr. Zelensky said he was responding to a large number of treason investigations opened into employees of law enforcement agencies, including the prosecutor general’s office and the domestic security agency. On Monday, Mr. Zelensky promoted Mr. Bakanov’s deputy, Vasyl Malyuk , as the acting head of the security service. Mr. Zelensky’s office ordered that Ms. Venediktova, who had assumed a prominent and very public role in Ukraine’s efforts to prosecute Russian war crimes and atrocities, … [Read more...] about Zelensky fires his prosecutor general and intelligence chief, the top two law enforcement officials.

FILE PHOTO: Albay 2nd Dist. Rep. Joey Salceda MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law shows that the judiciary respects Congress’ role in writing tax laws, Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda said on Friday. Salceda, chairperson of the House of Representatives Committee on ways and means tackling taxation measures, said that the SC decision also strengthens his committee as they can move forward with specific bills without fear that the High Tribunal might strike them down. SC said earlier that 13 justices concurred in saying that Republic Act No. 10963 or the TRAIN law was constitutional, contrary to what petitions against it state. “The Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the TRAIN Law demonstrates the Court’s commitment to upholding its usual respect for the primacy of Congress in enacting tax legislation,” he said in a statement. “The vote showed … [Read more...] about SC ruling on TRAIN law shows judiciary respects Congress’ role — Salceda

AR-15 style rifles are displayed for sale at Firearms Unknown, a gun store in Oceanside, California, U.S., April 12, 2021. REUTERS FILE PHOTO In a span of less than 72 hours, a massacre at a Monterey Park dance studio and a killing spree at two farms in Half Moon Bay left California in anguish. One man carried out his attack with a gun banned by the state, while the other used a gun he legally owned, police said. The twin attacks, which left 18 people dead, once again drew attention to the patchwork of laws and court rulings that have frustrated efforts to make deadly mass shootings less frequent in the United States. Even California’s gun laws, some of the country’s strictest, can be sidestepped. “It does illustrate the challenges of regulating state by state when firearms are so easily carried across state lines,” said J. Adam Skaggs, chief counsel at the gun safety group Giffords Law Center. Prospects for new federal gun laws are dim. Congress last year passed the first … [Read more...] about California mass shootings show limits of strict state gun laws
