An often used argument against proposed legislation is that it would unleash a flood of litigation that will overwhelm courts and businesses. This argument has been raised against ENDA. However, the available evidence suggests that ENDA is unlikely to cause a flood of litigation.
The argument has nonetheless caused some concern among legislators. Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana has released a letter in which he raises this issue as a potential point of contention. A letter from Senator Lugar argues that ENDA would unduly increase litigation.
Isn't that wonderful? "There's so many people suffering that if we protected them, the courts would be too busy."
They know it won't, they are just using this as an excuse to not vote for it.

Maybe but they surely know the potential is there since many of them have prejudices of their own and may have acted on them.
