>> I don’t see it happening with this congress under this administration <<
Yep, but I think the new GOP-controlled Congress can take the measure up again in January 2011.
And let’s hope the law also will be changed to allow awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor to the two civilian cops who bravely risked their lives to bring down the shooter.
Medal of Honor for Civilian police? As soon as the military start receiving the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor given to police. Don’t mix the apples and the oranges. The police forces have their own system of awards.
