WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2002 The Senate on Tuesday shelved debate on a federal hate crimes bill. Sponsors hoped to get the legislation through without tacking on amendments that would have made it tough to pass. But the measure was killed anyway after an attempt to limit debate was refused by Republicans. The bill would expand on a 1968 hate crimes law that prohibits attacks based on race, religion or national origin. The bill would add gender, sexual orientation and disability to the list.
