Only problem? President Obama has promised he'll veto the thing.

But not because he doesn't back hate crimes legislation. He does. The problem comes with the provisions being passed as an amendment to the Defense Department's budget bill, and Obama says he'll nix any bill hitting his desk that authorizes more funding for the F-22 fighter program, which he's trying to kill.
