Hate Crimes Prosecutions

The Sunday paper from the town where I go to school included the following:

Voting 63 for and 28 against the Senate on July 16 advanced a hate-crimes amendment... The amendment would expand the federal law against hate crimes to include offenses based on sexual orientation, gender or disability as well as the existing categories of national origin, religion and race...

Voting
yes: none
Voting no Jim DeMint
Not voting: Lyndsay Graham

Not voting for either next term: Me

I don't even have words for state leaders who do not see the need for hate crime protection in a state where Sean Kennedy was murdered.
