Lindsey Graham: “this is not about adding into an existing statute sexual orientation and disability. This is about changing…”

“this is not about adding into an existing statute sexual orientation and disability. This is about changing fundamentally to its core the way the Federal Government is able to interfere or take over a prosecution of an otherwise State case. There has been a fundamental deviation here from the Senate. Senator Kennedy was able to create an environment legally where the only thing stopping the Federal Government from reaching out and grabbing a case for the first time in the history of the country is the attitude of the Attorney General and put it in a venue where the death penalty does not apply. That is my point. The point is that this statute does so many bad things.”
