don't ask don't tell

I'm buried in news of health care, but still wanting more information. And the newly passed, but not yet signed, California budget (which still leaves a gap of 3.6 billion, and Arnold has said he'll line item veto several things that the legislature were particularly passionate about). Buried in the headlines I read daily, one caught my eye: Senate to hold hearings on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Favorite quote from this article: At this point, it does seem inevitable that Congress will, at some point, repeal DADT. The question is just how long it will take -- it's not exactly a priority so far, and there's no pressure coming from the White House to make it one.

Least favorite quote: And if nothing happens until next year, there's the issue of whether supporters of repeal might lose some votes because it'll be an election year. Public support heavily favors ending DADT, but that might not be enough to keep everyone in the fold.

I'm pretty sure that I don't need to state how I feel about don't ask don't tell, but it's pretty much the same as I feel about selective service. So, good that it seems inevitable.

And now, back to being frustrated about what information is readily available about the health care fight, and the CA budget implementation.
