OK, this was the cloture vote. Of course, the actual vote will probably mirror the cloture vote.

THere is no "actual vote" until cloture is invoked.

After 2012 maybe we can get it repealed and go back to the way it was before DADT.

DADT started us down this slippery slope.

No, it's a leftward ratchet. The goal is compulsory acceptance of homosexuality, supported by the power of the state. Just look at what has happened in other countries. Heck, look at California.

They have tied homosexuality (a behavior) to skin color (an immutable, irrelevant trait) and demanded that they be treated the same, when they are not. So far they are getting their way.

Actually, I mean the DADT actual vote. These two votes (DADT< Nightmare) today are making it challenging to communicate today.

Does that mean they can turn off the lights and all go home now and not come back until the new congress gets sworn in?

No, it means that the supporters had to face the fact that children of illegal aliens will not benefit from their parents’ crimes. There parents robbed a bank and they wanted to keep the money.
