The ability of the Democrats to function as an opposition party, let alone as a leadership party, is ... thin (cf. Hate Crimes is Dead for this session).
It's not that they aren't trying and doing a lot of the right things.
It's that they seem to not have coherent strategies to pursue and the discipline to pursue them.

A stand-alone bill will never get past the Senate, I don't think. So, prayers for that "strategy" are gravely mistaken.
So, we go another year, at least, while Republicans continue to have Federal laws that protect property against 'crimes of intent', yet still unable to admit in law that gays exist ...
