    This is VERY good news. Now if only we can get two more senators to hop on we can get this thing to a vote with no filibuster!

    Wow, would be great to see this pass.

    Though I can just see Rand Paul or Ted Cruz babbling on in a filibuster.

    I hope so because the BS that goes on in North Dakota and other places is pathetic.

    Tbf this sort of thing is actually more important than gay marriage. Because getting fired for your sexual orientation or gender identity is just wrong and shouldn't be allowed in the civilised world.
     
  7. This doesn't stand a chance in Hell of passing the House, though.

    Sources seem to be suggesting that they have enough Senators to override a Filibuster now!

    Unfortunately there's the matter of the House of Representatives... :bang:

    Manchin is a total jerk and scumbag. The worst Democrat in the Senate. The only other two Democrats still opposed to same-sex marriage both have to be careful because they are running for reelection in a year, while he has until 2018 so he has no excuse.
