I hate to play Devil's advocate here, as I'm totally in favor of trashing DODT, but Anna Marie may have studied History, but she missed this counter-point in her argument towards Obama's strategy:
Claims Obama could stop implementing the law-
Possibly, however that sets a pretty dangerous precedent, and as a lawyer, Obama doesn't want to do that.
The Executive branch ENFORCES the laws, even the ones it doesn't like.
Obama critics would jump on this calling him King, etc. just MHO.

these two were cute together at first, but it's getting a little smarmy and gay-centric.. ...cute and redemptive in low doses, but I have a feeling they are just polarizing their audience by focusing on it at such length and with such vitriol.
Frankly, we have bigger fish to fry... the environment being my first choice (myopic economy be damned)
Peace to All. :-D
Viva Obama!
End the Apartheid in Palestine!
I have to tell you, baronmorris, I disagree with you. I personally am thrilled Rachel's playing watchdog on this issue. Yes, bigger fish to fry, but this was a campaign promise & something that is still directly affecting many soldiers' lives. (If the firing stopped after Obama's inauguration that would be one thing, but officers are still being discharged left and right). Rachel, Anna, &Jon Stewart get a tip of my hat for paying attention to something that's lost to most of the media.
