Indefinite delays OGDEN for a Senate vote on President Clinton’s amendment to the Hate Crimes Prevention Act are directly attributable to the partisan politics of Sen Orrin Hatch said Utah Sen Pete Suazo Lake on Tuesday “It’s wrong that Orrin Hatch has held up the vote for this long” Suazo told several hundred activists and prosecutors at The Changing Face of Hate a national hate crimes symposium held at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center The symposium was sponsored by the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Weber State University “We have not held up the bill” said Jeanne Lopatto a Hatch spokeswoman said “We have had a hearing on it a few weeks ago - on May 11 We are examining the issue and what the proper role of what federal government should be in helping states deal with hate crime issues” In remarks at the hearing Hatch said that while he believes the Senate must “act and speak against hate crimes” any federal response needs to be meaningful and abide by constitutional limitations imposed on Congress He proposed developing a model hate crime statute for D-S- states to adopt and making modifications “long-overdu- of the existing federal hate crime law to allow federal prosecutors to try hate crimes in tion Suazo stated that Hatch’s disagreements with Bill Lann Lee assistant attorney general for civil rights and a strong proponent of the amendment have kept a vote on the amendment from the Senate floor Lee is a longtime supporter of affirmative action a position in alignment with that of President Clinton and in direct opposition of Hatch’s stance Suazo said As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Hatch has also held up a vote on Lee’s nomination to the country’s highest civil rights post “All we ask is of Sen Hatch is that he send Lee’s name to the floor and let the Senate vote” said Suazo “It is my plea to the senator to let the Senate be counted and to let the American people know where they stand on civil rights enforcement” examples of local hate crimes calling them “a cancer in Utah It’s time to create a conscience for the community one that creates a safe haven for us all” West Jordan cou!d get Press SALT LAKE CITY -
