I think he's empirically wrong when he says there's no groundswell of support among the troops. We will see what this study says. But there plainly is. Public opinion has changed on this issue in support of equality. And military opinion…

It's been as rigorously analyzed and thoroughly debated as any national security policy that -- that we have seen in a long time.

But the president is the commander in chief. He has huge responsibility and authority, under our Constitution, when it comes to military matters. He can order our military to stop the discharges.

I think, one way or the other, it's gone over time. It may not be before New Year's, but it cannot sustain. It's just -- you can't -- discrimination doesn't last forever in America.

He could stop this tomorrow. He says that we have to have legislation for what he calls a durable solution. Well, he's right, but he's the commander-in-chief.

It's kind of hard to say somehow this is going to hurt the military.

the most important person here is the person at the top of the chain of command, the commander-in-chief, who, frankly, has been far too timid on this issue.

I think this gives ammunition to those who want equality in the military, particularly Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, who was just reelected by 6 percent in a terrible year for Democrats.

Oh, definitely. Yes. You're going to see a government shutdown and then maybe, you know, impeachment. And there's nothing going to stop these folks.

A whole variety -- by the way, about a third of Republicans back in March before the negative ads and everything, back in March, one-third of Republicans, 38 percent, actually, in a Harris poll said they wanted to see Obama impeached.

Oh, I think so. I think -- I do think, in fairness to the Republicans, many of them, probably most of them, did campaign promising to repeal Obamacare.
