How Many VAWA Bills Are We Fighting?

Roy writes "Can anyone with Congressional process expertise explain why there appear to be four active bills reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in the House and Senate? House bills HR 3171, HR 2876, HR 3402, and Senate bill S. 1197 all seek to renew VAWA. On Sept. 8th, S. 1197 was reported out of the Judiciary Committee "with an amendement in the nature of a substitute favorably." I believe that means a full Senate vote is upcoming soon. Look 'em all up on http://thomas.loc.gov."

Ed. note: RADAR folks, please respond to this inquiry. -- Matt
