Senate movement on DADT? Around some cowardly Dems?

Unable to get cloture for a temporary suspension of the miltary’s “don’t ask, don’t’ tell” restrictions on gay service members, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand says she has an official commitment by the Senate Armed Services Committee (chaired by Carl Levin) to hold DADT hearings this fall.

And, yes, cowardly Dems, if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid couldn’t get cloture after personally supporting Gillibrand’s original idea.
