- Sen. Kennedy's hate crime amendment, approved by the
U.S. House and Senate, was stripped from the National Defense Appropriations
Act, H.R. 1585, midday Thursday. Congressional Quarterly reports that support
for the arms/hate bill bureau had so eroded in the House that Democrats
were forty votes short of passage.
-
- This great victory confirms that massive
last-minute opposition from the evangelical and far right may well have
powerfully helped defeat it. Sens. Kennedy and Smith may attempt to revive
it as stand-alone legislation after the first of the year. But its rejection
by Conference greatly increases the likelihood that we can defeat it again
- if lovers of freedom continue to protest loudly.
