WASHINGTON — The House and Senate appeared headed for another partisan battle as the House prepared to take up its version of the once-noncontroversial Violence Against Women Act.
The Republican-crafted House bill to renew the popular 1994 act, which expired in 2011, was introduced Friday to instant criticism from Senate Democrats, who said it fell short in fulfilling the law’s mission of protecting women from domestic violence.

Across a wide range of economic and social issues our people are being held hostage to a Buck Rogers revival of Paradise Lost. Renagade Republicans have captured the House of Representatives and clearly emulate John Milton's minions of Satan. "Better to Reign in Hell than Serve in Heaven." And its looking like everyone will pay a terrible price for this tea bag madness. Truely, how the mighty haver fallen.
