(This can't be right. They would go to these lengths, and take such a huge (and expected) PR hit simply for the sake of letting them try it out again on a fedcourt judge? I'm guessing I'm missing something here.)

P.S. More seriously, whether principled effort or pandering to the hard core base, not even the Republicans in Congress were nuts enough to try to draft and pass legislation changing the substantive law on such a complex and emotional issue in a 48 hour period. This lets some say: "We did all we could."
