that crossed state lines — thus justify-
ing federal intervention.
"It removes what we consider overly
restrictive obstacles to federal involve-
ment in hate crimes cases," said
Michael Lieberman, Washington
counsel for the Anti-Defamation
League, a group that has made the
proposed law a top priority.
The measure also extends existing
statutes to cover hate crimes based on
the victim's gender, sexual orientation
or disability, which is why some
Christian right groups will be working
hard for its defeat.

Bumping Duke
The battle to isolate David Duke from
the Republican mainstream continues.
Last week leaders of the American
Jewish Congress, after several sharp
exchanges with Republican National
committee chair Jim Nicholson,
announced that they were satisfied
that the RNC is doing its best. But
Louisiana's unusual open primary sys-
tem. in which anyone can run as a
candidate of either party, gives GOP
officials few options, said AJC execu-
tive director Phil Baum.
"Initially, we were not satisfied with
what the party had done to distance
itself from Duke, and we brought that
to their attention," Baum said. "Their
response was, 'What do you want
from us? We've already done every-
thing we can under the law.'"
After conversations with Nicholson
and other RNC officials, Baum pro-
claimed himself satisfied with the
GOP effort, but frustrated about a
system that still allows Duke to run as
a Republican without party sanction.
Nicholson asserted that the party will
provide no financial support for the
Duke campaign, Baum said, and that
GOP officials will continue to condemn
the former Klansman's racial views.
Mt surprisingly, Jewish Democrats
were less than impressed with
Nicholson's assurances.
"The dirty little secret is that they get
a fair number of votes from Duke sup-
porters, and a number of GOP leaders
are not really willing to go after him,"
said Ira Forman, executive director of
the National Jewish Democratic
Council. "In the past, their efforts have
been less than energetic, and we see no
indications of change this time around."
