The bill passed as a part of the Defense Reauthorization Bill but the final form of the legislation must be resolved between the House and the Senate. Because there is a controversy-the bill excludes an aircraft some Congressmen want but that Obama and the military do not want-it will be a rough conference committee. In the end that should not affect the hate crimes legislation though.
The hate crime "rhetoric" seems to be one sided...protecting one facet of society, percieved as being "oppressed", and the "perception" of guilt by the "usual suspects", who disagree with them....oppose their agenda's and doctrine....
And in the same breath...the ACLU defends the "rights" of the KKK and Neo-Nazi's to exist and parade in Skokie ,IL. ....., protects the privacy of the "predators" from their neighbors, and neighborhoods....
I dunno... I've been a victim of hate crimes in the past (on one incident having to live in a wheelchair for a significant amount of time)... Seems kinda surreal and bizarre to think that only a few weeks ago it was still "legal" to hate me...
Well, guess I should enjoy the legal right to be for the few weeks I have left...
[At least it actually has been passed and is legal now]

My concern with it is the fact that it is used for political reasons. What I mean is people use it to score points with groups. It's like passing a law that outlaws texting in your car when there are already laws on the books that deal with unsafe driving that would cover this.
Enforce the laws we have first then if those don't cover something then fix the law or create a new one.
I am tired of being a nation of lawyers who are hell bent on making our lives more and more complicated.
