DC Agenda declares ENDA dead for the year

It looks like some folks on the Hill think ENDA's dead for this Congress:
Breaking what some have called an informal code of silence adopted by mainline LGBT political organizations, at least four sources familiar with the gay and transgender civil rights bill said the lack of Senate votes became clear long before Republican Scott Brown won his upset victory last week in Massachusetts.
"What we're hearing is there is just no clear path to pass ENDA in the Senate," said one activist familiar with the bill's lobbying effort. "They don't think they have 60 votes to pass it."
Another source with ties to Capitol Hill and national LGBT political groups based in Washington was more definitive.
"ENDA has been off the agenda since before the Massachusetts election because they couldn't secure the votes in the Senate," the source told DC Agenda.
