I wouldn't expect any action there until after the summer recess. It is fustrating that the House has moved swiftly to enact the Matthew Shepard Act and ENDA (while senators sit around and discuss proper seating arrangements at the opera). But it has always been like that. The Senate is elitist and uptight. The House is impulsive and reckless. As usual, the Senate will take eons to get anything done.
