Hill Watching, June 11, 2008 - 14th Amendment Addition & American Made American Flags

On the Senate side, this bill will likely cause some debate. Appears to be pro-life bill, adding 'pre-born' humans to the 14th amendment:

By Mr. WICKER (for himself, Mr. BROWNBACK, Mr. BUNNING, Mr. BURR, Mr. DEMINT, Mr. ENZI, Mr. INHOFE, Mr. MARTINEZ, Mr. THUNE, Mr. VITTER, and Mr. VOINOVICH):
S. 3111. A bill to implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right of life of each born and preborn human person; to the Committee on the Judiciary. Source: GPO [S5523]

In the House, a bill that makes a lot of sense, can't really fathom thought of an American flag hanging over the Capitol being made in China:

By Mr. BRALEY of Iowa:
H.R. 6235. A bill to require the purchase of domestically made flags of the United States of America for use by the Federal Government; to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Source: GPO [H5327]
