Senator threatens filibuster of 'Pedophile Protection Act':

Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., today confirmed he will fight the 'hate crimes' legislation pending in the U.S. Senate and, if necessary, will launch a filibuster against the plan that critics have dubbed the 'Pedophile Protection Act.'
His Washington office confirmed to WND his position today, shortly after several Christian activists who have been rallying opposition to the proposal said they had received word he would help.
The proposal, called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, already has passed the House 249-175. But analysts contend it would designate homosexuals and others with an alternative sexual lifestyle choice for special protections under federal law.
At the same time, it would leave Christian ministers open to prosecution should their statements, especially biblical condemnations of homosexuality, be linked to any subsequent offense, by anyone, against a homosexual person."
