Those issues are set of law. I mean Congress has spoken. And when it comes to enhanced interrogation techniques that sort of thing, my understanding is I haven't seen the new executive action or what's being proposed but my understanding is they're going to look at, examine some of those issues. But with respect to torture, that's banned. The army field manual makes that very clear. And the law now is tied to the army field manual.
Senator John Thune discusses the legality of enhanced interrogation techniques and emphasizes that torture is banned by law.

Let’s hope there are 5 more Democrats who will join us, because despite all of the good work we’ve done, there’s a lot more we could do if the Schumer Shutdown ends.
Fifteen days into a government shutdown, Democrats show no sign that they're ready for it to end.
It is finally time to move in the next 30 days on the secondary sanctions bill that would further reduce Russia's ability to sell oil to buyers like India, China, and others.
I hope it doesn’t last through Thanksgiving, because that’s going to be a lot of harm to the American people and obviously a lot of harm to federal workers.
