Murphy leads DADT repeal fight

Second-term Congressman Patrick Murphy, an Iraq War vet, is leading the fight to repeal the don’t ask, don’t tell rule on gays in the military.

Frankly, I’m still of the opinion that, even though the DADT started with Congressional legislation, that President Obama could repeal it by executive order, as Truman did with desegregating the armed forces. But, at least somebody is taking up the Congressional cudgels.
