22 Republican senators voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act Tuesday. Why would they take such a risky stand?
“A couple of months ago, Senate Republicans defeated a treaty on disabilities — rebuking their own party’s war heroes, Bob Dole and John McCain, who spoke in support of the measure. One can imagine that for their next stunt, Republicans will oppose a bill to help the elderly across the street, or vote against a resolution honoring motherhood and apple pie.”
