On the recordNovember 28, 2010
There's no groundswell of opposition to don't ask, don't tell coming from our military. This is all politics. I don't believe there's anywhere near the votes to repeal don't ask, don't tell. So, I think, in a lame-duck setting, don't ask, don't tell is not going anywhere.
