The Anti Lynching Legislation

In the middle of Washington patting itself on the back for finally - after more than four decades of effort - passing a law saying "lynching is a bad thing for black people and other living things, no one in the MSM blinks and notes WHY the vote was held so late, and why some 12-20 senators did NOT want a formal vote where their opposition was duly recorded.

That's right: 12 to 20 Senators in the year 2005 actually chose NOT to support legislation that called for no more lynchings. Lynchings.

The few members of the press who DID bother to note this made it sound like those poor senators had no choice because their constituents were not in favor of a law to stop the vigilante executions of (historically, mostly black) men.

Where's the Twilight Zone music because this surely feels like a Rod Serling experience.
