    The Joint Chiefs, Secretary of Defense and the President will need to change the UCMJ to protect Gays. the law says it will allow gays to openly serve once the military is ready. supposedly that means having the UCMJ fixed to allow it and decide how to bring the change in, all at once or phase it in from lease resistant group in the military to most resistant group.

    Anti-Incumbent moods tend to affect the party that has the most incumbents in congress worse than the other party. The problem was that most Democrats sat at home, nothing more.

    Congress' approval has nothing to do with who is leading congress or what they do pass, but more to do with the partisanship level and the public tolerance of the partisanship... that shows through because people still love their congress men/women far greater than the over all congressional approval.

    I left Clinton out because DADT was a proposed rule to protect Gays in the military. It reversed the policies under Reagan and Bush that persecuted Gays and Lesbians by "protecting their private lives from scrutiny". It was not an Anti-gay measure, even though it failed miserably and allowed persecution to continue, but now codified it and tied the executive branch's hands from being able to do anything about it.

    But go on living in your bizzaro world where stoopid is smart.

    I think you need to pay closer attention. The Democratic congress has worked almost every work day of each month, with some time off during the traditional times taken off. The Republicans are the ones who are never in session. during the Bush years, they worked 10 days a month... and the new house leadership has already scheduled next years session and they are back to 10 days a month.

    Obama and Gates will make sure they have a policy. They will just need to rewrite a few regulations to exclude homosexual behavior from being applied. If they catch two soldiers engaging in Homosexual behavior, then they will just use the fraternization section of the UCMJ.

    Yes, but now there is a real ability to protect Gays and Lesbian's and unless we make a huge step backwards, I doubt we will have another president who is homophobic like Reagan or Bush Sr. was.
