Hate Crimes Update II

It seems the House passed the hate crimes law that includes crimes based on sexual orientation. The bill still needs to pass the senate. However, Bush has threatened Veto using a federalism argument. As I mentioned before, I'm against this legislation, and would be happy with the outcome of the veto, but I am not buying the White House's justification. Federalism is good when it comes hate crimes laws but bad when it comes to defining marriage? Hmm.
