Feeney Bragging About Child Alert Bill Amendments
Rep. Feeney is feeling proud of himself. The welcome page of his Web site includes a recent Washington Post editorial, with the following prefatory remarks:
"On April 4, 2003 the soft on crime editorial board of the Washington Post commented on Congressman Tom Feeney's Amendment to the Child Abduction Prevention Act. The amendment that was overwhelmingly passed by the House of Representatives, by a vote of 357 to 58, on March 27th was also opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Criminal Defense Lawyers."For those who are interested, on his Web site, , Rep. Tom Feeney offers C-SPAN coverage of his March 27 introduction of the "Feeney Amendment." (under recent floor speeches section) (requires Real Player). Thanks to Peter Parker of Boston, MA and Todd Bussert of CT for flagging this.
It's not law yet. The full house and senate have to vote on it. For what can still be done to oppose it, see the NACDL webpage on the bill.
