So, was resolution 118 a “anti-hate crimes bill” or just one of those symbolic resolutions expressing the supposed conscience of the Senate with no actual legal effect.

What is a Senate Resolution? A bag of nothing, or a step towards law?

Resolution: "Gee, it would be nice if..."

Bill: "Hereafter we WILL."

From the article:

The fact that EmgageUSA refers to this action as both a resolution AND a bill in the same sentence makes me question their intelligence.

I especially don’t like that “minority” bit...

Cristian’s aren’t a “minority” in America...

that means the moslems can entice death and destruction to towards us in their mosques and carry the actions out..

and its not a hate crime...

I also question the truthfulness of the article headline:A Senate resolution cannot criminalize anything because a resolution is not a Senate bill.

The former. Just a feel-good statement of opinion which Engage is trying to bill as a bill.

A bag of nothing, although I’d prefer to think of it like those bags people carry around when walking their dogs to put the dog poop into.

...the US Senate passed Senate Resolution 118, "Condemning hate crime and any other form of racism, religious or ethnic bias, discrimination, incitement to violence...

I wonder if that includes the leftwing-nut website It's Going Down......

It’s just a resolution. It has no weight in law.
(just hope they don’t sneak it to the House)

It’s a cheap way to pander to minority voters. “In 2017’ i sponsored a resolution . . . “.

Republicans should be repealing existing hate crime laws instead of helping democrats find new ways to limit constitutional freedoms

Do they define “minority”? Sadly, Constitutional conservatives are a minority in this country.
