"Hate crimes"? What rape is done in love?

There should be no such distinguishing feature in the law. Just apply the maximums and don't let them out (if you don't have them put to death).

Republican leaders explained that party members voted to pass the Child Safety Bill even with the amendment attached, because they wanted the protection of children, and they figured that the Hate Crimes Amendment would be stripped off when the joint House-Senate conference Committee tackles the bill.

Didn't we take a chance with CFR and blew up in our face??

Conyers, can't you and the rest of the of your DUmb@$$ colleagues read "America's Rulebook for Congress"? (Remember? That document you swore to "protect and defend"...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bill of Rights

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, Chief Justice Roberts; time to get to work!

>>> some fear the Senate will pass the hate crimes provision as is and send it to the President for his signature. <<<

As they should. They know that 'Get-along' George will not veto anything.

Conyers also wants special protection for the Koran, but not for the American flag.

I really hope Bush will refuse to sign this. The Federal Government is growing more bloated like a rotten corpse laying in the sun...its also rotten on the inside too

“Unfortunately, those 30 Republicans are in favor of legislation which prosecutes thought. That’s simply where they stand on the issue, along with all but five Democrats.”

Now who are these 30....
