"Don't Ask, Don't Tell," DREAM Act, Head to Senate for Votes This Weekend
After abandoning on Thursday night a $1.3 trillion omnibus Senate spending bill, Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid filed cloture for the DREAM Act and a stand-alone repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - both of which are now expected to reach the Senate for final votes as early as this weekend.

The Senate is now expected to vote on debate for both the DREAM Act and a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" on Saturday morning, and the Washington Post reports that final votes on both bills could take place as early as Sunday or Monday.

The Nightmare Act. One more giant middle finger from Dingy Harry to the American people.

Todays paper had a cartoon that showed a flag draped casket, the caption was "How should Congress vote ?
( Gay)( ) ( Straight)( ) (American)( X)
The point being that after 15ish years of "Don't ask, don't tell, no one except self righteous assholes cares about a soldier's "orientation".
The reason the bill was defeated the first time around was because American's DO NOT want another darned Amnesty !
