Senate DADT Obstructionists Joined the Wrong Side of America's Civil Rights History

[mfcorey1]

In blocking the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal, Senate Republicans continue to hide behind disingenuous national security claims. In the long run, Senate Republicans, who are keen to turn this into a political charade, can't stop reform.

When the top military brass, such as Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, favor a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," noting that a "solid majority" of service members say the repeal will have no negative impact, the deal is nearly done. They join the president and a majority of Americans who have rallied behind repeal and a federal judiciary that is likely to overturn the policy on its own.
