Republicans Still Blocking Violence Against Women Act. (VIDEO)

"If Republicans have been chastened by losing the women's vote last week by the widest margin in modern history, they have a funny way of showing it.

House GOP leaders aren't yielding to a bipartisan coalition of Senate leaders demanding they extend the protections of the Violence Against Women Act — an anti-domestic abuse bill that was first passed with broad support in 1994 but hit a brick wall of Republican opposition earlier this year.

"Nothing has changed," a senior GOP aide told TPM. "The House has passed a bill, we are ready to move to conference, and the Speaker has announced his conferees. We are waiting on Senate Democrats to follow suit and act."
