Were the programs provided by VAMA extended to men who were victims of domestic violence as well?

Yes, otherwise it would have been blatantly unconstitutional.

Well, part of the bill was struck down as unconstitutional. Tongue

Congrats GOP, on continuing to alienate the growing demographics.

Not on equal protection grounds, though. On (failure to meet) the commerce clause.

Why the heck does this need to be Federal law? Crime should generally be a State matter unless there is some interstate activity involved.

I wonder how many red avatars remember this.

Would "I don't f**king give a sh*t about you States Rights bullsh*t" be a satisfactory answer?

What an eloquent and well-reasoned argument Roll Eyes

Not any worse than the "States should have rights because.... *crickets*" argument.
