The Senate bill expands coverage to men, homosexuals, transgendered individuals and prisoners. It expands the definition of domestic violence to include causing emotional distress or using unpleasant speech. It ostensibly nullifies the legal presumption of innocence until proven guilty. The bill also expands the laws reach to give tribal Indian authorities jurisdiction over non-Indians accused of abusing Indian women. Finally, what good is a social engineering bill without tossing in bones to the most sacrosanct constituency, illegal immigrants? It would grant more visas to illegal immigrants who are victims of domestic abuse.
I'm toast. You should have heard me when one of the catz got caught eating my jalapeno seedlings for this year's garden. I caused "emotional distress" and used "unpleasant speech". Most of it learned from a TI in basic training back in the old days when the AF wasn't quite such a chair force.
