The Senate finally passed the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Appropriations bill for FY2010, which includes funding for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). Importantly, it removes some flawed speech restrictions on grant recipients' non federal funds. Passage of the measure came after a 60-39 vote to cut off debate on the measure and successfully excluding the consideration of all non-germane amendments. This included the controversial amendment sponsored by Senator David Vitter (R-LA), that would have required the Census Bureau to ask about citizenship and immigration status during the upcoming 2010 census. Critics said Vitter's amendment would discourage immigrants from participating in the census and would be extremely expensive.
