I suspect the religious right Frankenstein will scare the bejeesus out of the White House soon enough, but it's still quite telling that for the second time the White House is sending mixed signals on whether it truly opposes ENDA. From the NYT:
President Bush threatened to veto an earlier version of the bill, but a White House spokesman, Tony Fratto, said the administration would need to review recent changes before making a final decision.As for the bill's chances in the Senate, check this out:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat and a longtime supporter of gay rights legislation, said he would move swiftly to introduce a similar measure in the Senate. Some Senate Republicans said that, if worded carefully, it would have a good chance of passing, perhaps early next year.That's a far cry from dead until 2009.
