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.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
