Senators Coburn, DeMint and McCain sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Gates suggesting that he take the pork money in the Defense bill and send it to the troops. What a terrific idea. I hope he does exactly that.
The Senate passed the Defense Authorization bill with an amendment that would extend hate crimes legislation to cover sexual orientation and gender identity. Many observers now question that the hate crimes legislation actually criminalizes points of view rather than conduct. The comments of Representatives when asked this question are interesting.
