Congress Delays Debate on Don’t Ask Dont’ Tell
June 28, 2009 by James Hipps
According to the AirForce Times:
Congress seems intent on delaying any debate on repealing the military’s ban on open service by gays until next year.
As the House passed its version of the 2010 defense authorization bill, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee talked about having hearings later this year on the possible repeal of the so-called “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” policy that has been in effect since the Clinton administration.
The House Rules Committee blocked consideration by the House of Representatives of two amendments to the defense bill that would have attempted to change the policy, which prompted Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., to promise there will be hearings on the issue.
Now, do all of you who want to blame President Obama for DADT still standing care to reconsider and perhaps write your Representative a letter encouraging them to take action?
