I'm half sad and half happy with this vote.  But yeah, you're right, it's not really all that shocking.

Why does ongoing employment discrimination make you happy? You, of all people, should be sensitive to work issues.

It doesn't, but I have both my current Democratic ideology coming out and I also have my Republican upbringing and surroundings both coming into play here.  In my heart, I side with my Democratic friends and we should repeal it.  Mind you, I'm not a fan at all of the GLBT lifestyle, but as Hillary Clinton put it, you don't have to be straight to shoot straight.

Obama should have just issued an executive order on January 20 2009.  if it held up in the courts the issue would be gone forever.

Hindsight is always 20/20!!!

Plus, remember, DADT was enacted by a Democratic President with a Democratic Congress.  The Republicans didn't take over until January 1995, and this was enacted in 1993.
