ENDA should have been a no-brainer. It had 200 sponsors and apparent momentum after the committee hearings in 2009. It was considered low-hanging fruit and ready to move after the historic passage and signing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Act. It was generally acknowledged as must less controversial than DADT.

So what happened? After all, ENDA is about jobs. Wasn't the whole nation concerned about our high unemployment rate? Weren't we talking about jobs? ENDA appeared to be the low-hanging fruit of equality legislation. Low-hanging fruit, indeed, only this fruit was left to wither and rot on the vine. And unlike the "rot" of d'Yquem this was not noble.
