Yesterday, Sen. Jim DeMint [R, SC] attempted to bring the bill to a vote in the Senate in the form of an amendment to the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill, but Sen. Ben Nelson [D, NE], likely acting on behalf of the Democratic leadership, blocked the amendment, citing a parliamentary rule banning legislation on appropriations bills. But, as Demint proceeded to point out, the underlying appropriations bill already contains several provisions that are undeniably legislative in nature.
Watch the video below. DeMint’s line of questioning and the answers he gets from the acting Senate President pro tempore make it clear that the amendment wasn’t blocked for parliamentary reasons, but because of its content:
Pro-hate bill testimony was heavily woven with the assertion that the Holocaust Museum shooting is a wakeup call, proving the need to legislate against prevalent and increasingly violent racism.Even the ADL admits that anti-Semitic incidents are on the decline and have been for years. They're so desperate to find anti-Semitic incidents that they classified a peaceful protest near a Jewish film festival and a David Irving speech as "hate crimes."
Most Judiciary Republicans were absent or called away from the hearing by debate over healthcare reform on the Senate floor. Yet Sen. Orrin Hatch, before having to leave, expressed the dominant question of Republicans through the hearing: Can Holder or anyone else give examples of how US states currently fail to enforce the law against hate criminals? Repeatedly, Holder was asked this question and couldn’t answer.
