LGF reader SpaceJesus’s Page tells the tale of the latest strange and tawdry episode of Republican malfeasance toward women: 92 Republicans Vote Against Legislation That Will Help Prevent Rape of Native American Women.

The House passed a bill that would make it easier for tribal courts with limited sovereignty and jurisdiction to prosecute non-native rapists who rape Native American women on tribal lands. There’s a huge jurisdictional mess when it comes to crimes involving natives and non-natives due to confusion between tribal, federal, and state court authority. It basically results in non-native rapists going free because it is difficult to ascertain what kind of court they should stand for trial in. This bill helps to clear some of that up, and make it so rapists can be dragged into court much easier and made to stand for their crimes when the act is committed on tribal land by a non-member. This is something pretty much anyone can get behind right?

Nope. Not if you’re a conservative Republican apparently, as the only people who voted against this anti-rape legislation (all 92 of them) are card-carrying members of the GOP.

Here’s the roll call of shame.
