Subject: Federalizing "Hate Crimes"
Description: This motion would broaden the definition of "hate crimes" to include homosexuality and to involve the federal government in prosecutions even if no federal law was broken. ACU opposed this expansion of federal police power. The motion got a majority, but failed because Senate rules required 60 votes for passage.
