Dems To Cave On DADT Repeal In Lame Duck

Monday, November 8, 2010


Now the can, which had been kicked to Congress by Obama, goes back to Obama.  Obama and the Courts have been kicking the can back and forth, up until last week when the Court kicked it into suspended animation for a few years (basically, the Court kicked it back to Obama).
What will Obama do?
Will Obama sign an executive order (stop-loss) which will overturn it for the duration of his time in office?  It has the effect of ending the process temporarily and getting people used to it until Congress and/or the Courts end it permanently.  It also provides gay troops another legal argument, in that they can argue that once they come out, they can't unring that bell, so based on what the president did they took him at his word that the "trajector­y for ending DADT was in sight".  
Place your bets.
