Sen. DeMint Blocks CRPD

See this post from The Hill, which begins:

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is delaying Senate consideration of the United Nations treaty on people with disabilities amid growing opposition from home-schooling advocates. 

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee was scheduled to take up the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities on Thursday, with the goal of getting it passed in time for the 22nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26. Instead, Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) announced that he will hold the markup next Thursday, July 26. 

A spokesman for DeMint said several Republicans on the committee joined him in asking for the delay.
