If Reid waits until New START is done before holding the vote on DADT, Senators could start going home once the treaty is resolved, dooming DADT repeal. But this scenario would be averted if Reid slips in the DADT vote before START. By contrast, if the DADT repeal debate and vote are done first, no Senator will leave Washington before START is resolved. So doing DADT repeal first doesn't imperil START. (Greg Sargent, Washington Post, 12/16/10)
Because – clearly – the message that the American people sent to Washington in November – the number one concern of the people – before jobs, before Islamic terrorism, before taxes - was this: let gays serve openly in the military.
No wonder the approval rating of Congress is 18%.
