The House of Representatives came to its senses and passed the Senate version of the Violence Against Women Act today. That's the one that includes extended protections for LGBT, immigrant, and Native American victims of domestic violence, which passed easily and with bipartisan support (save a couple dozen Republican men) in the Senate. House Republicans objected to a provision that would give Native American tribal courts the jurisdiction to prosecute non-Natives who commit abuse on reservations, closing a loophole that has allowed Native American women to experience abuse at double national rates.
