This vote was on whether to table (or kill) an amendment by John Thune, R-S.D., that would take $20 million from the underlying bill’s budget for the Legal Services Corporation and redirect it to federal lawyers that help fight violent crime on American Indian reservations. The Legal Services Corporation is a federal agency that funds programs that provide free legal aid to people of modest means. Thune’s amendment was offered to the bill that funds science programs such as NASA, as well as the departments of Commerce and Justice. |
