Senate votes 98-0 in favor of BSA use of government property
A federal judge in Illinois (Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Blanche Manning) ruled 22 June 2005 in favor of the ACLU in a lawsuit to prevent the Boy Scouts of America from using federal property. The Senate voted 98-0 today to legislatively overrule the judge's ruling.
Hmm.
Senators Craig (R-ID) and Rockefeller (D-WV) missed the vote. That means Ted Kennedy, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Charles Schumer, Dick Durbin, Barak Obama, Joe Biden, et al., all voted Yea. Meaning: even the Senate's most liberal senators (including the two from Illinois) have voted in favor of the BSA and against the ACLU's position on this one. Score one for the good guys in the culture war.
