31. Good analysis
I hate the idea of scuttling repeal of DADT. This is a horrible policy that appeased the bigots far more than gay and lesbian soldiers. Discharges of gay and lesbian servicemen and women have never been higher. It's a shameful policy.

But you just have to look at the political terrain right now and see that it's just not going to happen this Congress. I agree, we have a far better chance of passing ENDA (and I think I'll contact my Representative, Jan Schakowsky, office about being a sponsor). And...maybe I'm ridiculously naive, but I'm not all that sure Bush would veto ENDA.
