Violence Against Women Act passed. Controversy?
http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2005/12/19/violence-against-women-act-passes/

Anyway, about six months ago, was there a controversy because something was in the bill which people on the Left didn't like?

1. Awesome!
Perhaps that will boost funding even more to finally get VINE nationwide.

4. The controversy was that the GOP Congress
wanted to go ahead and ignore it to death, let it lapse.

This is good news, but I don't expect Stupid to sign it.

5. Bush has zero vetoes.
I expect him to sign it.

6. It would be intriguing to see how his pathetic apologists
like Hannity would spin it if this were to be his first veto, but I think you're right.
