In yet another story NOT covered by the mainstream media, yesterday, in Nancy Pelosi's House Judiciary Committee, a bill defining new federal "hate crimes" (how many crimes are motivated by love?) included the "sexual orientation" pedophilia as a new federally protected class.
The Republicans on the committee oppose the measure, but do not have the votes to kill it in Committee. Instead, they are seeking to narrow the scope of the bill in committee, and will fight against passage on the floor of the House.
Yesterday, the Republicans wanted to make sure not just any "sexual orientation" is protected. While it is one thing to protect homosexuals and cross-dressers, the GOP offered an amendment specifically excluding pedophiles from a protected class for hate crimes. Pedophiles. Monsters who sexually abuse children who cannot by definition consent to sexual relations with any adult of either sex.
The Democrats, to a committee member, all of them, voted "no" and defeated the amendment.
And, for good measure, the Democrats also defeated an amendment including US military veterans as a protected class.
The Democrats are clearly protecting their base by allowing them to spit on returning Vets without fear of federal prosecution.
