How do they propose to reinstate it? I doubt it would get through the Senate.

I believe the extrordinary unfair length of time it has taken to remove/undo this unfair law is nothing more than a STALL TACTIC. They mean to stall this issue until they can steal a future election and at that time reverse it altogether.

That is the way these mean spirited people work. They think they have an exclusive right to the way to live in America and that they are the only people on the planet who are "MORAL" and by extension should rule the world.

I often ask voters of this ilk if they realize their self aggrandizement and self appointed moral authority by extension infers that the rest of us Americans and the entire world at large are immoral and ignorant. Follow up by asking whether or not they can recall any great discoveries by anyone of their group.

They always change the subject.

Or stall.

It's what they do.

They wouldn't reinstate it, but they would debate, bluster, blather, pontificate, inaccurately quote scripture, make up false scenarios and extrapolations instead of addressing the ISSUES. It would be another distraction in the same old tired "gays, guns, God, abortion and tax breaks."
