[Vision2020] Fw:[Spam 3.60] Bipartisan Legislation to SupportVictims of Violence Signed Into Law

[Paul Rumelhart]

Wow, the thread has already been Godwin'd.

There are valid reasons why someone might object to this bill, that I think people can relate to even if they aren't a concern for them personally.  According to Wikipedia, the ACLU criticized it in it's first incarnation because there were provisions for mandatory HIV testing when only charged with a crime that they thought had privacy concerns.  I don't know if those provisions are in the current re-authorization or not.  Some people object to it because it has provisions for non-tribal people to be charged in tribal courts, which they think might mean that some of their Constitutional rights of those non-tribal people might not be adequately protected in such a situation.  Phyllis Schlafly objects to it because it promotes "divorce, breakup of marriage and hatred of men."  And yes, some people wanted to reduce services to undocumented immigrants and LGBT individuals.

I was just wondering if anyone knew what he objected to specifically.

Paul

Paul Rumelhart inquires:

"Has anyone seen any statements made by Raul Labrador as to his reasons for voting against it?"

No.  

And come to think about it, nobody asked Hitler why he killed six million Jews, either.
