"I hope they keep this up" AMEN !!! That would be incredible ... we'd have our 60 seat, filibuster-proof majority in only a year.
Not Schumer voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 ... isn't that when he was running v. D'Amato? A year or two earlier, he would have opposed it.
Democrats know that DOMA isn't SCOTUS proof. They can voice their support for DOMA all they want, but most likely they are hoping for, and counting on the fact, that sooner or later same-sex "marriage" will come before the presently liberal-leaning SCOTUS.
