Not yet, they voted on cloture:

cloture - The only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter, and thereby overcome a filibuster.

Under the cloture rule (Rule XXII), the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by vote of three-fifths of the full Senate, normally 60 votes.

Yup. The deliberate corruption of America continues. History repeats itself. As did Rome, so do we.

I’m sorry, just reading what I want to I guess, totally overwhelmed by this paganism and distraught since my son goes to boot camp in 2 weeks.

Yes, the vote was just to end the filibuster and to allow a vote on whether to repeal DADT.

In theory, a Senator could vote to end the filibuster and still vote against repealing DADT - in theory.

BTW, I think I noticed that even Lindsey Graham voted no on ending the filibuster.

Yeah they’re lining up on the pubbie side to challenge McCaskill. I’m guessing this time Talent will wipe the floor with her. At least I hope so.

On January seven, the new Congress should make homosexuality a legal point for authorized removal from the military. The DADT law was designed to degrade the integrity of the force from day one. Now that that law has been repealed, the real action should take place in a god-fearing congress, to protect the integrity of the force by giving honor the force of law, so that sexual degeneracy is illegal in the military, not protected so long as one can keep a giant lie going. [Of course, I’m making the gross mistake of believing the congress in any way fears the lord, much less wants to promote honor and the integrity of the force.]

I read somewhere that getting DADT approved was payback to Obama for him signing the tax bill.....along with other goodies.
Hope its not true.

Does this invalidate the Sodomy statute in the UCMJ?
