Today the Senate finally actually did something we can be proud of! They repealed the grotesque Don't Ask, Don't Tell law that has been on the books since 1993. Now American servicemen and women of any sexual orientation can serve their country with out fear of being outed and dismissed. Senator Joe Lieberman, (I) Conn., spearheaded the effort in the senate, making up for many of the wrongheaded stances he has taken in the last decade, particularly, his support of Senator John McCain in the 2008 election. Senator McCain, (R) Ariz., to no-ones surprise, voted against the repeal and said it was a sad day in American history.
