From Tom Head,
Your Guide to Civil Liberties.

For starters, President Bush still hasn't threatened to veto the legislation. His silence is the key factor here. If we knew, somehow, that the legislation would be vetoed and would not have the two-thirds majority necessary to override a veto, then there would be no reason for Congress not to include gender identity in the ENDA. If you're going to propose symbolic legislation, it makes sense for it to be symbolic in all the right ways.
