So the nice judge in San Diego does a smack-down on DADT, and Obama does nothing. The only thing coming from the White House is Mr Gibbs saying that DADT will end at some time - he doesn't know how or when, but it will end. Excuse me sir, but what the fuck is all that?
The only thing I can think of is that somebody in the administration thinks there may be some kind of deal to be made here. They think they can use the demise of DADT as leverage to get something else done(?)
It's one of the shittiest things about politics - you take an issue that should be a no-brainer and you put together a bill that addresses it, and then you start counting the votes, and since you know it's gonna pass almost no matter what, you can let some of your caucus members vote against it anyway because it's a good opportunity to pander to a certain demographic in their districts blah blah blah.
I just wonder what kind of quid pro quo is happening here.
For me, this is pretty simple. It's about equal rights, and if you can't figure out how to lead on something as basic as that, then you need to open a shoe store or somethin' cuz you're in the wrong fuckin' business.
