So, the Senate apologized for not passing anti-lynching legislation sooner, and letting the issue fester from the 1880s to about 1960.
But guess how it is being sold by the Ass. Press and other cronies in the mainstream media. No blatant liberal bias here:
But the Senate, with Southern conservatives wielding filibuster powers, refused to act. With the enactment of civil rights laws in the 1960s and changes in national attitudes, the issue faded away.(emphasis mine) By "Southern Conservatives" they really mean Southern DEMOCRATS. It was the DEMOCRAT PARTY who used the filibuster to block Civil Rights legislation all those years.

Posted by: Derek Hoskins at June 15, 2005 2:20 PM Of course, any "anti-Lynch" Law passed by congress would be prima facia unconstitutional, since congress has no authority to act in the domestic sphere (other than regulating commecial trucks crossing state lines).
