Sodomite Amendment Tacked On Defense Bill

S.A. Miller / The Washington Times:
[Sexually deviant perverts] in the U.S. Senate yesterday adopted legislation giving homosexuals additional protections under federal hate-crime laws, attaching the measure to the defense authorization bill and daring President Bush to veto it as promised. "The president of the United States has never vetoed, in the history of the United States, a defense authorization bill," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat and chief sponsor of the amendment. "For this reason and for many others ... the defense authorization deserves to be passed [into law]."

Sodomite Amendment Passed on a Voice Vote!
The amendment, which charges the Justice Department with investigating crimes potentially motivated by sexual orientation as it can for crimes considered racially or religiously motivated, passed on a voice vote after the chamber voted 60-39 to end a filibuster. Forty-nine Democrats, nine Republicans and two independents provided the required 60 votes to proceed to final consideration.
