Congress set to resume operations next Monday, the big question on the LGBT legislative agenda is whether ENDA is back.

When I ask "Is ENDA back?" I don't simply mean "Does ENDA exist?" To be or not to be is simply not the question. ENDA does exist -- it's safely behind bars in the basement jail over at the House Committee on Labor and Education -- but existing is very different from getting out of Committee jail and passing into law.

Will the Powers-That-Be push for it, or will they continue to give lip-service while letting it die amongst the ultra-crowded legislative agenda?
