Edit: Ok now I am pissed. My step grandmother marched on that bridge, marched on Washington and went throughout her area registering black people to vote. She had to teach some of them how to write their name so they could register. She felt the wrath of the Klan and still kept going. Cory Booker don't you dare use the work my family and so many others did for equal rights into your filibuster! How fucking dare you use the efforts of so many people to disrupt this nomination! Those brave souls who stood up to an injustice and fought for a voice are so far above your argument and I am ashamed for you. Your argument is not valid.
Sorry I am heated right now.
Edit again: He has now cited Vanity Fair and their article on Matthew Shepard stating that Sessions will reverse laws to protect homosexuals in the work place and against hate crimes. Now bringing up that poor black man dragged behind a truck until he died in Texas. Both crimes are sick and helped get laws passed to protect people against hate crimes. I do not believe Sessions would reverse this ruling.
WTF are you hiding that you need to bring up such awful crimes as a distraction?
Why in the hell do crimes like that even need to be prosecuted as "hate crimes"? Why can those crimes just be prosecuted stiffly? If someone murders another person we can pretty much assume they are driven by hate and just put them away for life or worse! This whole hate crime BS is really unnecessary if we just went hard on crime!
Good point. The same can be said for terrorism. Vague definitions of what constitutes a crime are a recipe for disaster. Look also at the DSM. Last symptom on many diagnoses is 'not otherwise specified.' Most anybody can be diagnosed and drugged.
