Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Passed

[Darth]

By a vote of 166-257, the GOP version of the Violence Against Women Act failed to win a majority after almost 90 minutes of debate. The House then voted 286-138 to pass the Senate version, with 87 Republicans joining all 199 Democrats to provide majority support.

Ahhh, context.

Next step, understanding what's in the two bills, comparing the bills, and understanding the reasons for yes/no votes.

And I absolutely hate when people say things like "oh, your against bill x, so you're (not a patriot, in favour of kitten stomping, not interested stopping online piracy, an avid punching women fan...)", it doesn't follow. You said all 138 no voters were in favour of beating the shit out of women, what a disgusting thing to say, I want some proof.
