(Community Matters) Today’s a big day – it could be historic. The Senate will vote for closure on the Defense Authorization Bill which includes the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. We’re dependent on securing at least two Republican votes to stop the filibuster McCain is supporting – saying that DA/DT shouldn’t be included in an authorization bill. Funny since this is how DA/DT was passed in the first place.
Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and Scott Brown are the most likely swing votes, though their participation in serious jeopardy, reportedly as a result of Reid not allowing Republican amendments.
