re: #148 sliv_the_eli

I see your response. it doesn’t work as a response to what I said.

my view is that they should propose and push legislation on its merits.

Which is what they did, in this case. They proposed a defense bill. DADT is a defense issue. The DREAM act not only has defense components but was a bipartisan, largely Republican creation.

They should also work with like-minded people across the aisle to overcome legitimate objections where they exist.

What legitimate objections would those be? I haven’t seen a single one cited.

The Joint Chiefs recommend repeal of DADT. The DREAM act was bipartisan.

So what are these legitimate concerns?
