Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., scheduled a Friday session that won't have any votes, rejecting Republican and Democratic requests that he allow a vote on a bill that would allow rape kits to be processed more quickly.
“Debbie Smith is an extraordinary woman and an effective advocate," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told the Washington Examiner. "She's personally asked me, John Cornyn and others to pass this critically important legislation that bears her name, and it's deeply disappointing that the majority leader is blocking it from reaching the president's desk. I will fight to get this done for the sake of Debbie and sexual assault victims everywhere.”
Smith didn't just persuade McConnell to push for the bill. Rep. Carolyn Maloney wanted the Senate to take up the bill when the House passed it earlier this week.

Other than the fact that Reid is an __________________ (fill in the blank); why is the federal government doing anything on the crime of rape. Isn’t this a state issue?
And democrats say that it’s republicans who have a war on women yet they are proving their the ones doing the scr*wing...
The optics and perception of all this needs to be changed .... Repetition and CONSTANT bashing of their reputation needs to commence if this is to be achieved in this year of the Mid Terms.
Harry Reid approves of raping women.
Makes you wonder what Stinky is trying to hide. Maybe some skeletons?
Why is rape a federal issue?
why is Reid protecting rapists?
my perception is that the federal government does way too many things which are unconstitutional. So instead of arguing the merits and excoriating his highness, let’s stop the BS. If this is the best the republicans can do, count me out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dirty Harry likes little boys.
I’ve said for years that judges who give out that kind of sentence (and I use that term loosely) are child molesters (or rapists) themselves
It’s the only explanation I can come up with for being so lenient
Bump
I guess child rape is another life style choice for some Libertopians?
Strangely auto-correct capitalized that L
Is this another of your intelligent opinions.
Put the bottle down and have some coffee.
If you don’t understand basic principles of the power of the federal government vs the state, get someone you look up to to explain it to you.
I oppose tyranny at the state level too, and letting child rapists off easy is tyranny
And a question is not really an opinion
Dirty Harry is too busy trying to steal land and cattle in Nevada to care about women
I’m sorry I missed the part about child rapist being let off. And what do you think the feds can do about it? How about having the feds take over 50 criminal justice systems so people don’t get let off.
Now apologize and go sit in the corner.
Last bon mot to you. I got caught in the quagmire with you before, not gonna happen tonight. make up whatever spin or lie you want and it will be memorialized on the web.
If you crack down on rape, the potential for abortions declines. Thanks Libloather.
