Yesterday the House passed landmark civil rights legislation, H.R. 923, the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act, by a vote of 422-2. The bill, sponsored by Representatives John Lewis [D-GA] and Kenny Hulshof [R-MO], would re-open hate crime cases during the Civil Rights Era, focusing on investigating and prosecuting murder cases occurring prior to 1970.
The two votes against? Lynn Westmoreland [R-GA] and Ron Paul [R-TX].
It doesn't change things with me but some political junkies on another website I visited pointed this out. An explination given by Paul yet
