If Only The Republicans Had To Answer Why

We know the reason, but they ought to come out and say it . . .

Also from the CityBeat article:

U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) put forth a resolution last June calling for U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and the Department of Justice to investigate the murders of Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman and report their findings to Congress.

"It brings the resources of the federal government to bear, and that'll be significant," says Lanier Avant, a spokesman for Thompson.

Twenty-five members of the Black Congressional Caucus signed off on the resolution, including Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), but the bill never made it to the floor.

Avant says Thompson and others will try again this year in the new Congress. But with the Republicans in firm control, there's no telling when or if the resolution will be called up for a vote.
