Yesterday, Pelosi has repeated that she doesn't see why the Congress should meddle in an affair. She reasoned that if the Congress cannot meddle into the affair of the states concerning the definitions and recognizations of marriages, why should the body do it any differently concerning the District?
I think it's nice a logic. I always think of DC as a state, not some territory ruled by the Congress.
The lack of support from Pelosi will make it hard to get the override to vote on the House floor.
It shows that the Congress has changed since the DOMA went through it. With a consideration of hate-crime bill, repeal of Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell, and a possible repeal of DOMA, her statement gives out hints what could lay ahead.
Naturally it could be harder to get the bill giving DC a seat in the House to pass because the anti-gay marriage could try to sneak in a language repealling the DC recognization as a condition for their support.
Bloody politics.
