First, DADT is not dead. The Congress can come back and address it next year.

Is there any way they can reverse it? It would require passage of a new bill, and Obama would veto it for sure.

So I think we're stuck with it for two years, at least.

2012. Especially if there are actual negative effects measurable by then, we can un-do this.

If we can’t see the negative effects, it won’t be repealed. The only thing keeping the policy in place now is the negative impact expected.

Make him veto it. Looking at 2012 breathing down his neck, he might well be afraid to. Nobody supports it in the real world—not the voters, not the military.

My guess is the Dems and RINOs did this for the money while they could, not because they thought they could make it stick.

It’ll take a couple years, not until the worst president in the history of the United States (except FDR and LBJ) has departed.

I have hope that cooler heads will prevail and DADT will be brought back. The Marines always win!

It CAN be done. California - Proposition 8 - overturned a law legalizing gay marriage.
