Vote Data for S2104 (101st Congress)


Date: October 24, 1990

Subject: Civil Rights Act of 1990

Description: Passage, over President Bush's Oct. 22 veto, of the Civil Rights Act of 1990 to reverse or modify recent Supreme Court decisions that have reestablished more reasonable standards of proof in discrimination cases. The bill would have shifted the burden of proof onto the accused and effectively forced businesses to adopt quota hiring policies to prevent endless litigation. A two-thirds majority of those present and voting (67 in this case) was required to override the veto.

Result: Veto Sustained, 66-34
