The House of Lords For 9/21/10: A Defense Bill Is About To Go Down Thanks To Bigots

The House of Lords is about to provide a truly rare time of not even providing cloture to a Defense Authorization Act thanks to gay-hating bigot Republican Senators and even the obstinate Jim Webb, also contributing to his abomination of gays.

But besides "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" under full jeopardy here, also under jeopardy is the rational DREAM Act, which would give children brought to this country at an early age and have lived here where they are fully "Amercianized" citizenship. Republicans of course have tied that to granting amnesty, leading to more insensitive comments from them.

The vote tally to move on the defense Act to come folks, stay tuned.

The Vote:
Webb votes to move it, but the Republicans will stand in opposite here.

Out of nowhere, Blanche Lincoln says "No", and Harry Reid has to say "No" now in order for the vote to come back down the line.
