The hate crimes bill got passed by a 63-28 vote in the Senate. A great and important step. Unfortunately the Democratic Senate Majority Leader attached the bill to a $ 1.75 billion measure in funding for F-22 fighter jets that is also included in this legislation. Obama has already told he is not gonna vote in favor of the F-22 program. This will mean the hate crimes bill will also be vetoed and needs to be sent back to the Senate for a re-write. Stupid from the Democratic party. Now it will be a while before the bill will become law, just because they also want other things pushed through that have nothing to do with the hates crimes bill.
