The following YouTube video has been circulating the Internet. The video shows portions of a House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding updated hate crimes legislation. An amendment was offered to prevent pedophiles from being protected under the new regulations. Congressman Dan Maffei, who is on the Judiciary Committee, voted against the amendment, in effect allowing pedophiles to become a protected group, alongside ethnic and racial minorities and people of various sexual orientations. Another amendment was offered to include members of the armed services as a protected group under the hate crimes legislation, but Maffei voted against it.
If further evidence was needed that Maffei lives in Bizarro World, he also thinks that “fashion piracy” is an urgent, pressing issue in Central New York and has co-sponsored legislation to that effect.
