Dershowitz writes that the CofCC "opposes the immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union who were prevented from practicing their religion by the communists, arguing that they are atheists whose language and culture are alien to that of real Americans."

It included a half-million-dollar payment to the U.S. Treasury, cancellation of this year's State of the Union address and provisions barring Clinton in the future from raising funds for the Democratic Party and holding elected office.
