Speech #1030119209

The Federal Governments power to print money does not give it the expertise or the legitimacy to rewrite the criminal codes of the 50 States. There are many other objectionable provisions in this bill. I voted against. and I continue to oppose. the provision to try 13yearold children as adults in Federal courts. I oppose the immigration provisions of the bill that establish secret administrative tribunals to deport aliens suspected of terrorist offenses. And while I strongly support the Violence Against Women Act included in the bill. I regret that it was amended in a closed door agreement to provide criminal penalties for transmission of the AIDS virus. and to expand AIDS testing based on irrational fears.
