14:06:46: Hey, did DADT just get cleared for debate in the Senate, or did repeal pass? If the former, HRC is looking prematurely self-congratulatory.
14:17:39: Watching DADT repeal debate live on CSPAN-2. MN-D Sen Amy Klobuchar is on right now.
14:21:10: Out of nowhere, AZ-R Kyl is now trying to sell us on the McCain amendment to START.
14:23:44: AZ-R Kyl has suggested that conflict between the US and Russia is inevitable. What is this, 1987?
14:31:19: AL-R Sessions is on now, also in favor of missile defense in New START. Which, er, doesn't work against ICBMs.
14:33:53: Sessions doesn't seem to realize that India, the UK, etc. don't have similar capability/Cold War history that makes START important.
14:35:45: Or, uh, a working missile system at all, much less one to deploy in Western Europe.
14:44:27: MA-D Kerry deploys something that sounds suspiciously like logic and facts re: New START. Less fear, more competency.
14:55:13: When AZ-R McCain speaks, it's all up is down, black is white, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
14:58:44: "Would anyone like to take 25 seconds?" LOL.
15:10:03: RT @TheAdvocateMag: Senators now voting on #dadt final passage.
15:15:37: Rarely am I quite so edge-of-seat watching C-SPAN 2. #dadt
15:33:46: DADT repeal passes 65-31. History, people. We're living it.
15:34:55: Who's got two thumbs and glad that @CourageCampaign and @hrc didn't pull a Dewey Defeats Truman moment today? This guy. #dadt
15:42:53: Reminder: DADT repeal is a victory for the LGB communities. It doesn't apply to transgender folks.
15:47:25: Thank you @clairecmc for supporting DADT repeal. I'm glad I voted for you!

17:00:50: RT @thejointstaff: Repeal of #DADT the right thing for our military & our country. Pleased to hear of this historic vote. http://bit.ly/ ...
17:13:32: RT @TransgenderHULK: #DADT REPEAL NOT MEAN #TRANSGENDER HULK CAN JOIN ARMY. NOT BECAUSE ME GREEN, BUT BECAUSE ME TRANSGENDER. http://ow. ...
17:38:20: RT @Metafrantic: Don't think #DADT repeal is "1 of the great civil rights victories of our lifetimes". Applies to small %. #DOMA & #ENDA ...
