House of Representatives .....
Seems the House is finally catching up with some long overdue legislation now that they aren't so focused on impeachment hearings: "The House of Representatives passed a bill with broad bipartisan support on Wednesday designating lynching as a federal crime — a historic move that paves the way for antilynching legislation to be sent to the president’s desk after hundreds of unsuccessful attempts over the past century." |

Yeah, that has been such a problem for the last 50 years. Actually I thought murder was already a crime. OTOH I doubt it passes the constitutional test unless this is a federal employee or it involves crossing state lines but I doubt anyone with standing will challenge it. |
