House passes Violence Against Women Act after GOP version defeated
(CNN) - Struggling again with an issue important to women and minority groups, House Republicans on Thursday failed to pass their version of a new Violence Against Women Act and then split over a Senate version that won approval with unanimous Democratic support.
The votes reflected an emerging political reality in the GOP-led House, with a minority of Republicans joining Democrats to pass legislation supported by the public, including increasingly influential demographics such as Hispanic Americans.

Sensible move. Appropriate and noteworthy.
How many angels can dance on the head of a needle. Some Repubs. can always find SOMETHING wrong w/Dem. legislation.
Of course they did. They have an election coming up. But don't worry, after they get re-elected they will repeal it.
Fool me once, fool me twice ----!
Hi Ohioans.
Tea Party – folding like a well used roadmap.......
Net result, the law was delayed for months before it was renewed.
Does the GOP politburo not know mid-term elections are coming up?
The House is actually doing some work??? Well as I live and breathe....
Please vote for me and I won't have to beat you any more..........
