FPA features Allan Lichtman on Repealing the Second Amendment. Faced with mortal consequences of loaded and imaginative judicial interpretations of the “right to bear arms,” Professor Lichtman suggests it is inherently flawed and past its shoot-by date.   

Faced with the massacres in the classrooms, the overturning of New York’s gun control laws, Lichtman suggests alternative strategies to combat the National Rifle Association’s legislative and judiciary hostage taking. His book “Repeal the Second Amendment” was a road map to safer streets and schools – sadly ignored by the mesmerized Supreme Court Majority.    

Allan Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History at American University is also author of The Case for Impeachment, and an accomplished predictor of Presidential Contests.

Will Boris get his Bounce Back? Who decides the next British Prime Minister?  Boris Johnson had an unrivaled tenacity, hanging on well after his sack-by date. Even now he clings to poop deck of his sinking government, whence all but he have fled. 

FPA’s Ian Williams and Simon Locke, both British exiles, discuss what happened, what might happen now, and what it means for Britain and the rest of the world.  

FPA President, Ian Williams former speech writer for UK Labour leader Neil Kinnock and thus by proxy for Joe Biden (google it) points out that Conservative Leader Johnson supported Abortion rights, gun control and had an unashamed attitude to the sexuality of his cabinet. His replacement will be picked by the Party, not the people, and as a new face against an ineffectual Labour leader could win on a hardline conservative platform.

Especially under Prime Minister Modi, India is a swing vote in every sense. After decades of rule by Congress which hovered between Russia and the Non-Aligned, the Bharatiya Janata Party swung towards the USA, but now seems to have discovered the joys of triangulation, between Russia, China, and the US while always looking at Pakistan.

Over the Ukraine crisis the United Nations is looking like the attenuated ghost of the League of Nations which left Abyssinia swinging in the gale of fascist aggression.   In the middle of a direct challenge to the UN Charter the organization is not just invisible but disregarded and seemingly irrelevant. Does it have a role beyond ritual handwringing and calls for peace? What can the UN and its SG do? Can it get its gums into this crisis?  

Briefing with Ian Williams, Stephen Schlesinger, David Smith, and Mark Seddon.
