It appears that action for the day on the Treasury, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies appropriations bill has come to a close. I ask once again that our colleagues be prepared to offer amendments tomorrow or we will ask to go to third reading. ____________________

Full equality means enjoying all of the rights that everybody else in the country enjoys. If everybody else in the country enjoys rights one, two, three and four, you have got to enjoy those rights too.
Well, I think it is. I mean any time a group of people are denied rights and struggle for their rights, that's a civil rights movement.
When the president says he's for something, it doesn't mean it is going to happen. It just means we now know what he feels and how he thinks about it.
Of course, it is exactly the same. It's a right that all Americans have and no reason why gay and lesbian people ought not to have these rights too. These are universal rights.
