They weren't incumbents and they weren't democrats. That was enough, right?Well, not yet.

Wasn't the Violence Against Women Act ruled unconstitutional many years ago?
How/why is it back? Are liberals hoping for a do-over in the SCOTUS?

I agree with you. We don’t have a party.
We need to form a new one. One that is Conservative and wituout backstabbers.

White males created and until recently governed this nation. The aforementioned group has now abdicated its right to govern and allowed women, minorities and vice addicts to replace them. Quite naturally women, minorities and degenerates(vice addicts)want to consolidate their new position as the heads of our society. Women, minorities and degenerates will now have first choice of educational opportunities, jobs, social precedence and be able at will to destroy those who once governed.
Egalitarianism has consequences. One group will govern and take the benefits the other group will feel the whip. The law eternal.

That’s right. The most sinister aspect to this bill is that it makes abuse — including “verbal abuse” — against a woman or other protected minority a felony. Get convicted of a felony and you lose your 2nd Amendment rights.
This must be one of those gun control efforts that Obama once mentioned he had going on “under the radar.”

More on this worthless POS bill....
VAWA passes House, with full protections for LGBT, Native Americans
The House of Representatives passed the Violence Against Women Act, extending abuse protections to gay, lesbians, and transgender people, as well as Native Americans and immigrants.
The bill passed 286 to 138, with the support of 87 Republicans; it will now move to the president’s desk to be signed. A GOP substitute bill that left out protections for Native communities and LGBT people was defeated 166 to 257.

To: molson209
so laws already on the books never included women ,next it will be a law for every person by name ?

You clearly point out the ridiculousness of this type of legislation.
How about a bill that says it’s not okay to kill or maim anyone but a white, heterosexual male? Something tells me they would be okay with such a law.

I don’t see Randy Weber’s name on this list as voting against it. He is brand new House member who replaced Ron Paul. Would hope that he either wasn’t present for the vote or was just omitted in error from the last of those who voted NO.

Under this law, conceivably not being “friendly enough” with litigious women or gay men could be construed as prejudicial speech intended to cause emotional distress, simply by retaining the right to say “no”.

The VAWA clearly violates the Equal Protection Act, which guarantees equal protection for all, including men. I'm looking forward to seeing men unite with MRAs and fight these laws until...
Oh, who am I kidding.

WE, The People, have the ability to take the republic back. Not by elections, those are all fixed. Wisdom that escapes most here.

” They’ll do anything to escape the phony “war on women” and “racism” tags.”
I agree, but this only proves that they’re idiots.
They’ve gained nothing - conservatives won’t trust them, and liberals won’t ever respect them.
