The Expanded Federal Hate Crimes Bill passed in the House by a 232 to 180 vote. Now, the Chimp-in-Chief threatens to veto. Is anyone surprised? He is just so compassionate, isn't he. Well, isn't he? From WaPo:
"The White House, in a statement, said state and local criminal laws already provide penalties for the crimes defined by the bill and 'there has been no persuasive demonstration of any need to federalize such a potentially large range of violent crime enforcement.' It also questioned the constitutionality of federalizing the acts of violence barred by the bill and said that if it reaches the president's desk 'his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill.'"
Watch this spot from the Human Rights Campaign.
Seems some hate is less important than other hate and then there are some deserving of hate.
And the stupid, it burns us. Yes, it does. precious. Yes it does.
More later.
