It's even easier to reintroduce a stalled bill than it is to write a new one. Given the margin that DOPA passed by, and given that a fair number of the new congressfolk are social conservatives, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see DOPA pop up again--but it does seem likely that it would at least get hearings this time around instead of just chugging along the railroad express. The bill itself is dead; the notion, quite possibly with the same name, seems likely to rise again. Unfortunately. Don’t be too overjoyed.
