Good to see this pass the though.  My confidence that this would get accomplished was correct!

Awesome. This discriminatory policy should have never been enacted.

It was a step in the right direction though, because allowing open homosexuals into the military wasn't going to happen in 1993.

Not surprised by Ensign.  I'm a bit surprised Graham didn't end up voting for the actual bill after it passed cloture though.

Yes it was, Burr and Ensign decided to play weird games by voting against cloture and then voting in favor of the bill.  The majority of your party obviously were still bigoted piles of trash.

Probably sticking to the "not until the budget" thing for the cloture vote, and once it cleared that, they figured they could vote on the bill with a clear fiscal conscience.

Does anybody know why Hatch didn't vote?  He was one that I'd have expected to vote YEA.

Are you joking? For the rest of his term he will try to out-conservative DeMint and Coburn.

Then he would've voted NAY.

he was at his grandson's graduation.

So... do we know how he would've voted?  The only quotes I see are that he's open to it.
