DADT possible vote tonight!

[Riot]

Wow, they may get to DADT vote in the Senate tonight - Reid is going to bring the appropriations bill with the DADT repeal, and they think they have the 60 votes, via GOP defections, to overcome the Republican filibuster!**

(** yes, remember the GOP has routinely filibustered everything brought to the floor in the Senate this past year, so it always takes 60 votes to bring up, discuss, or pass bills that our Constitution says takes a majority of 51. Weird "Obama Obstruction on Everything Rules" the GOP has made. So this appropriations bill, even though it has far more than 51 votes and would pass easily and routinely in any other Senate than Minority Leader Mitch McConnel's, first has to have 60 votes for cloture so it can be discussed then voted upon. But if there's 60 to break the Republican filibuster, there's 60 for the bill. If not - then DADT is dead for this Congress. Good for Majority Leader Reid for bringing it up!)
