Senate Democrats are taking this opportunity to slam Senate Republicans. Extension of the Violence against Women Act has been brought to the Senate Floor for debate with some new additions, namely extension of this act's coverage to illegal immigrants, lesbians, and gay men. Senate Republicans are against this new version and the Democrats are crying fowl, saying that the Republicans are only against it because of the portions that cover illegal immigrants and the gay and lesbian community.
Republicans on the other hand say this is not true and object to VAWA on other grounds, such as budget constraints. They claim that Democrats are using this as an opportunity to slam the GOP as a whole.
