Hate crimes bill blocked in Senate sparks party politics
The piece argues that Senate leaders blocked federal hate crimes legislation shielding gays and lesbians, despite broad majorities in both chambers and support from President Clinton. It notes the June 57 42 Senate vote, House 232 192 passage, and highlights opposition from Trent Lott and allies amid the anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s death. It also cites New York’s new hate crime statute and political implications for voters.
