Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied 0
There is one thing of which I have no doubt. If the farmers were white, they would have been paid long ago:
Last week, following a protest by farmers in Washington, Sens. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) introduced legislation to provide the needed $1.15 billion in funding. After negotiations between the Democratic and Republican leadership, the measure was set to be passed by unanimous consent.
But U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) broke with his party’s leadership and objected to the funding. Coburn also objected to the bill when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offered it by consent back in May.
