The Senate passed what would have been considered just a few years ago-a bill that guarantees Marriage Equality apart from the Supreme Court’s ‘Obergefell’ decision. Surprisingly a large number of Republicans, primarily from more moderate states, signed on to the legislation that is now headed for the passage in the House. The decision to hold off until after the election, in what is a lame duck session, paid off for Sen. Majority leader Schumer who made call in order to remove some of the partisan rancor from the process. This will be a crowning moment for Speaker Pelosi as she exits her House Speakership next year.
