Controversial gun legislation cleared a key Senate hurdle Thursday, as lawmakers
voted 68-31 to start debate on the package which includes expanded background
checks and new penalties for gun trafficking.Senate Democrats, joined by
16 Republicans, were able to overcome an attempted filibuster by GOP senators
opposed to the current bill. Those senators could still slow-walk the debate,
but the Senate will eventually begin votes on amendments -- one of
which is considered crucial to winning support for a final vote.The White
House called Thursday's tally an "important" but "early milestone," as both
sides of the issue prepare for a grueling debate -- one that
is being waged in Washington and on the airwaves. The amendment likely
to be at the front of the line is one from Sens.
Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., which would scale back the
call for universal background checks. The plan would expand checks to gun-show
and Internet sales, but exempt certain personal transactions.The National
Rifle Association and other gun-rights supporters voiced concern about the
new proposal, saying it still goes too far. But the plan, offered
by two lawmakers who are at the conservative end of their respective
parties, could help ease opposition ahead of a final vote.The legislation
required at least 60 votes to advance Thursday.If the bill ultimately passes
the Senate, it would still have to pass the Republican-dominated House."The

North Korea's new leader is using the threat of a nuclear strike
to get concessions on foreign aid rather than trying to trigger military
conflict, top U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Thursday.Director
of National Intelligence James Clapper told the House intelligence committee
that he thinks new North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is trying
to show the U.S., the world and his own people that he
is "firmly in control in North Korea," while attempting to maneuver the
international community into concessions in future negotiations."I don't
think...he has much of an endgame other than to somehow elicit recognition,"
and to turn the nuclear threat into "negotiation and to accommodation and
presumably for aid," Clapper said.Clapper said the intelligence community
believes the North would only use nuclear weapons to preserve the Kim
regime, but says they do not know how the regime defines that.Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel said at a different congressional hearing that he
does not believe North Korea, nor Iran, have the technical ability to
reach the continental U.S. with its nuclear weapons yet."Now does that mean
that won't have it or they can't have it or they're not
working on it?" Hagel said. "No. That's why this is a very
dangerous situation."Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, testifying
with Hagel before the House Armed Services Committee, would not say whether
North Korea has the capacity to arm a ballistic missile with

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> DUBLIN A Northern Ireland police commander says 8,000 officers and three
surveillance drones will protect visiting dignitaries and monitor protests
during the G-8 summit in June.The annual meeting of leaders from the
United States, Britain, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Canada
is expected to inspire left-wing demonstrations in Northern Ireland and
the neighboring Republic of Ireland. Irish Republican Army splinter groups
also could mount attacks.On Thursday, Assistant Chief Constable Alistair
Finlay told a Catholic-Protestant board that oversees police operations
his force would deploy 4,500 officers and 3,500 more would come from
Britain.The board approved the purchase of three surveillance drones for
the event. Finlay said the G-8 was the biggest high-security event ever
mounted in Northern Ireland.It happens June 17-18 at a lakeside resort near
Enniskillen.
ess," he said. "Failure to commit to this kind of open
process is tantamount to an admission that the bill is not workable
and will not stand up to public scrutiny."Sessions and Lee have been
among the most skeptical Republican lawmakers when it comes to ongoing efforts
to draft an immigration overhaul.Those talks have largely been confined
to the so-called "Gang of Eight," which includes four Democrats and four
Republicans. A key member of that group is Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
who has along with Sessions and others urged Senate Democrats not to
rush the process.Separately, Sessions and two other Republican senators
on Wednesday sent a letter to the Republican members of the "Gang
of Eight" asking for specific details on the projected cost of the
immigration bill.Though a recent agreement between big labor and big business
on the issue of temporary worker cards was highly touted, the senators
have tried to draw attention to what is arguably the bill's most
controversial component -- the path to citizenship for up to 11 million
illegal immigrants."A primary concern related to a large-scale legalization
of illegal immigrants is the long-term cost for taxpayers," the lawmakers
said in the letter Wednesday. The letter was signed by Sessions, Sen.
Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan.Voicing concern that
illegal immigrants who eventually obtain a green card and later citizenship
would at some point be eligible for a host of
