This was an insane act by the GOP. The Daily Show eviscerated them with this last night. I can just see the campaign ads that will come out of this one. Women are going to love hearing this. Franken is trying to plug a hole in US civil law, and the GOP is against it because it ? What? Insane. This is where irrational hatred is leading the GOP, the real reason they opposed it is because one of their biggest bogey men introduced it, and they hate the SOB. Rapists should go to arbitration with the woman they raped. Right. Got it. I can just see the campaign commercial now: "Let's compromise on me forcibly sodomizing you, and I'll give you the BJ thing as a consented act under harrassment, m'ok?"
