75% of Republican Senators Support Stripping Individuals of Their Right To Sue Coworkers Who Gang Rape Them and the Companies That Protect Those Perpetrators
This bit of news has been making its way around the internet, but I'm not afraid to kick a horrifying piece of information when it's down. 30 of 40 Republican Senators voted against an amendment (which passed 68-30) that would prohibit the U.S. Government from contracting with any organization that requires employees to surrender their right to sue in the case that they are raped. The amendment is in large part spurred by a gang rape committed by KBR/Halliburton employees against another KBR/Halliburton employee in 2005 in Iraq. Read about the amendment as reported in the MinnPost, or view The Daily Show's coverage below.
