This bill has been introduced in committee. It is the intention of the co-sponsors that it be included in the Defense Appropriations Bill, which is unlikely to be filibustered.
I still believe that his heart is in the right place.
I am not a single-issue voter, but equality is at the top of my personal priority list. And nobody (and I mean nobody) has a better record either publicly or behind the scenes than Mark Udall. Period.
Diana DeGette tolerates the LGBT community. Mark Udall is a champion.
I just wish he was willing to get out and face the voters.
We so enjoy teasing you about that whole coffee/lunch thing.
I’ll make sure there’s the chance again. After all, there’s his waffling over the public option. Maybe we could take up a collection to buy him a spine.
And nice to see Senator Palpatine doing something decent for a change.
May have been getting a little tired of Bennet getting all the progressive media love and attention lately? Just kidding. Although AR might not find it so funny. Good for Udall. I was happy to vote for him in 2008 and he’s been a good Senator.
As an ardent supporter of repealing DADT, but recently I heard an argument that has made me partially reconsider. It seems that the full repeal of the bill would open the door to an overall increase in intimidation as COs could now simply demand to know one’s sexual orientation and out people who didn’t want to be outed. There are legitimate reasons for someone not wanting to disclose that (uncertainty, fear, etc.). Additionally, since sodomy is still a crime in the military someone who is asked could be discharged for reasons theoretically unrelated to their confession (since they might have reasonable suspicion or something like that).
So instead, what if they just repealed the “don’t ask” portion so people could come out if they wanted to, but they would never be forced to say anything on their sexual orientation that they didn’t want to.
I’m still unsure, anyone have any thoughts?
Hence the continued need for the “study period” allowed and encouraged by the bill.
Thanks for the info, glad that’s being addressed
…just like I could ask if my soldiers engaged in oral sex, since that’s a violation of Article 125 of the UCMJ.
As a practice, I never did. Simply because we’d have to court-martial all of the sexually active members of the military. And, it’s a horribly bad thing for leadership.
Just because the regulations say you can do something, doesn’t mean you’ll do it in day-to-day operations. That doesn’t mean this Baptist Hezbollah in the Chaplain Corps might not try and make it a big deal, but it’s only harmful if they have a sympathetic commander.
Mainly because it really gets McCain’s goat now that he’s gone full death panel and anti-repeal.
Where are Bennet and Romanoff on this?
Why isn’t Bennet an original co-sponsor?
But he’s not on the Armed Services Committee, which is what this was about.
added to the hate crimes bill. He is a strong supporte of GLBTQ rights. We are fortunate in CO. All of our Democratic delegation is fully engaged and principled on the subect of equality, to my knowledge.
