Is the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ repeal DOA?
politico.com

The repeal of “don’t ask” has been attached to the defense authorization bill, and Senate Republicans have already blocked the bill once before over this issue.

And while advocates scrape for 60 votes to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell,” there is no clear path to passage if the repeal remains embedded in the larger defense bill.

They should have done this 2 months ago. Put it up by itself, get the 60 votes, and move the hell on.
