DADT On The Move

Filed in National by on December 14, 2010

Via Greg Sargent:

This was uncertain as late as this morning. But just now, in a briefing with reporters, Steny Hoyer confirmed it: House Dems will indeed introduce a stand alone bill this week to repeal don’t ask don’t tell.

Hoyer said that House Dems will introduce a repeal bill that “reflects the Lieberman-Collins bill verbatim,” my Post colleague Paul Kane confirms. That means House Dems are set to introduce their own companion of the stand-alone bill that Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins introduced last week. Both the House and Senate bills mirror the language in the original defense authorization bill, which Republicans blocked in the Senate.

Hoyer said the timing of the House’s bill is to be determined, but it will be this week.

I realize there are a thousand ways to make this not happen, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

    If you argue that it’s OK for LGBT’s to kill brown foreigners, then you must be OK with straight people killing brown foreigners too.

    Such is the state of liberalism in 21st century Amerika.
