Senator McCain attacks “hate crimes” sleight of hand
Halimah Abdullah reports in the Miami Herald: “‘I’ve watched the defense authorization bill move its way through Congress and occasionally, including at other times, I’ve seen amendments put on the bills which are non-germane,’ McCain said on the Senate floor. ‘But I haven’t seen the majority leader of the Senate, whose responsibility is to move legislation through the Senate, take a totally non-relevant, all-encompassing controversial piece of legislation and put it on a bill that is as important to the nation’s security as this legislation is.’”
