The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which has passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelming margin is now facing hearings in the Senate. In Testimony for the Senate Judiciary Committee Attorney General Eric Holder was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) if the federal hate bill S. 909 will equally protect all Americans from violent crimes? Holder explicitly says the hate bill will not provide equal protection to most Americans. Holders says that the bill is to protect specific groups that have a history of being targeted by violence because of the color of their skin or sexual orientation. The Constitution grants equal rights to all. Holder does not understand that he believes in granted special protection to certain groups that have historically been persecuted or discriminated against. Senator Coburn (R-OK) asked Holder if the murder of an American soldier in Arkansas by a Muslim extremist qualifies as a hate crime. Holder replies again that the bill is to protect groups that have historically been persecuted such as Blacks, Jews, and Homosexuals. Holder also admits the bill allows for Federal Prosecution if a local jurisdiction refuses to prosecute which is a clear violation of the 10th Amendment, which grants jurisdiction to state governments.
This Bill does not provide equal protection to all Americans and is therefore unconstitutional. It grants special rights to certain groups while making the rest of us 2nd class citizens. The job of the Attorney General is to uphold the Constitution and Holder clearly does not understand or have any interest in upholding are constitutional rights.
