If DADT Is Not Repealed This Congress It Will Not Be Repealed This Decade
Unless the Supreme Court reverses it. I will take what I could get because repealing DADT is a moral imperative but a legislative decision would have more legitimacy.

Conservatives are still kvetching that Roe V Wade which was decided nearly forty years ago usurped the power of the legislature.

1. Or unless Obama suspends it.
I have a hard time believing any Republican president would wish to expend precious political capital on reinstating a two-year-old discriminatory policy disliked by the public and the troops.

2. Does He Have The Authority?
I have yet to hear a definitive answer.

3. When all is said and done......
It will be the courts that will repeal it.
