Veto override fails on workplace discrimination bill
The Senate, 66-34, rejects overriding Bushs veto on a bill aimed at easing proof of discrimination by women and minorities. Republicans vote to sustain the veto, while Democrats and some Republicans supported an earlier override of the presidents veto. The measure would have reversed several Supreme Court decisions and faced broad lobbying from civil rights groups.
