Updated @ 6:43 PM: Kerry reports things are getting intense at the hearing:

It's getting heated in here for sure. Probably some of the better theatre C-Span folks have seen in quite some time.
And updated again @ 6:49 PM:
GOP Rep. Bilbray's amendment making sure #DPBO won't provide benes to illegal immigrants has been voted down. But the debate was a total 10.
____________
Kerry Eleveld has been live-tweeting the House Oversight Committee's mark-up of H.R. 2517, the Domestic Partner Benefits and Obligations Act, sponsored by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). Once the Committee finishes its work and takes a vote, this bill will head to the floor. Senator Lieberman sponsored the companion bill in the Senate.

Sure sounds like the GOPers are up to their usual gay-bashing.
