Earmarking Bills
Earmarking the new hate crime additions in a military spending bill is a very clever move. Although I do agree with the new parties protected under the hate crime law, I do not agree with earmarking cases such as these under bills that are so completely unrelated. I think there should be another way to pass a controversial bill but perhaps our government's structure is responsible for these situations.

I have to agree with tacking a rider onto a defense bill that is unrelated. Earmarks are very dangerous sometimes. I understand what the democrats were trying to do but I just think it should have been at least debated on the floor so we actually knew what both parties thought about it in congress.
