Christy Brzonkala will not have her day in FEDERAL court.
The former Virginia Tech student had hoped hers would be a test case... a
test of a new federal law, called the Violence Against Women Act.
SS=Legal Scales
But the chief judge of federal court in Roanoke decided Congress over-stepped
its authority, so the judge has declared the law UN-constitutional.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=@file
Brzonkala says she was raped by two Tech football players... not some
"random act of violence," her attorney claimed, but an event "wholly motivated"
by discrimination against women.
Linebacker Tony Morrison allegedly later made a statement that the judge
today paraphrased by saying Morrison "has a history of taking pleasure from
having intercourse with women without their sober consent."
Kiser recognizes: "violence against women is a pervasive and troublesome
aspect of American life which needs thoughtful attention. But," the judge
concluded, "Congress is not invested with the authority to cure all of the ills
of mankind."
Bottom line?: "Case dismissed."
