Senate Passes SCHIP and Hate Crimes Bill

The Senate just passed expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in a 69-30 vote. President Bush has promised to veto the bill, however the 69 votes exceed the number of votes required to override a presidential veto (assuming no votes change after the veto).

The Senate passed 60-39 a cloture vote on the expansion of the federal hate crime law.
