Senate Hearings On Hate Crimes Included Focus On Sikh Temple Shooting

Yesterday the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights held hearings titled Hate Crimes and the Threat of Domestic Extremism. The hearings focused in part on the Aug. 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. A webcast of the hearings and a transcript of witness statements are available on the Committee's website. [Thanks to Michael Lieberman for the lead.]
