Well, that's something.

I feel like a heel for thinking that may be the best we can do this session.

That would be a significant victory.

It is good news, but...

"Chisum reluctantly agreed to strip the new language from the bill, but said once the measure was in the House he would try to amend it to put back the civil unions ban."
