On Saturday, the House passed an almost unanimous resolution to protect military chaplains who face potential arrest for celebrating mass or practicing their faith during the government shutdown. But Harry Reid won’t let the Senate vote on it. Why won’t Harry Reid protect military chaplains?

Update:

Jay , you are correct they are contract priests, however: They are not being allowed to volunteer their services

    Same reason he will not have a vote to allow kids with cancer to receive their treatments. He's throwing a tantrum because he can't have things his way.

    Not exactly true.

    You are confusing the fact that CONTRACT chaplains cannot work during the shutdown. However, practice of faith is totally legal.

    Before spreading a story like this, get the facts.
