choices : political : SENATORS DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM LYNCHING APOLOGY [+] ballot by Cathexis created Tue Jun 14, 05 On June 13, 2005, the US Senate formally apologized for having rejected decades of pleas to make lynching a federal crime. No lawmaker opposed the measure, but 20 of the 100 senators had not signed a statement of support of it, shortly before a vote was taken on a nearly empty Senate floor. In addition, the vote was held late that night, which avoids a real roll-call vote (i.e., individual Senators didn't have to vote up or down). The mainstream media has yet to treat this as a news story. Do you believe the Senators' votes should be made known? Do you believe the 20 Senators who refused to endorse the measure should be identified?
