Republican Pretexts For Opposing the VAWA
By The latest. I think this is the most instructive:
The random “welfare bill” accusations. This one is a wild card that is fairly unspecific. Last week, original VAWA sponsor Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said that the expanded provisions took his “landmark legislation, only to come right in and change it to make another welfare bill.” There’s nothing new in the bill that represents “welfare,” unless that’s just code for “groups I don’t really want to help.”
I think that pretty much gives away the show on multiple fronts.
