Biden Backgrounding

let’s play guess the unintended consequences, shall we?

Here’s a recent contribution to our happy living by our their Veep Brain Trust:

[introduced 5/24/2007 - S1515]
Authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to the American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence to work in collaboration with the American Bar Association Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service and other organizations to create, recruit lawyers for, and provide training, mentoring, and technical assistance for a National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network.

...Requires the Attorney General to award grants to national domestic violence legal technical assistance providers to expand their services to provide training and ongoing technical assistance to volunteer attorneys in the National Domestic Violence Volunteer Network, statewide legal coordinators, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and Internet-based legal referral organizations.

`SEC. 41603. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VOLUNTEER ATTORNEY NETWORK.

`(a) Purposes- The purpose of this section is to allow--
`(1) national domestic violence legal technical assistance providers to expand their services to provide training and ongoing technical assistance to volunteer attorneys in the National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network; and
`(2) providers of domestic violence law to receive additional funding to train and assist attorneys in the areas of--
`(A) custody and child support;
`(B) employment;
`(C) housing;
`(D) immigrant victims’ legal needs (including immigration, protection order, family and public benefits issues); and
`(E) interstate custody and relocation law.

There’re a study and a task force both to pay for, too.  [whaaa?!? no blue ribbon committee?!]
