I can't immediately see any problems with this.  As for my opinion on this, you all know what that Barry Goldwater quote is.

I'm fine with this bill as is.  How about a clause also apoligizing to those who were kicked out?

I would say that that would probably be unnecessary and not really meaningful, given that we would be apologizing for the actions of someone else.  I think that section 2 is enough.

I'll support this (minus True Dems apology amendment) but still think the "don't ask don't tell" policy is fine the way it is.

Under "don't ask, don't tell," someone can stay in the military as long as no one finds out his sexual orientation. But if this information is revealed, that person will be kicked out. I don't believe that such a policy is acceptable.

The question is on final passage of the bill. All those in favor, say Aye; those opposed, say No.

With five Ayes, the bill has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to vote or change their votes.

We're pretty backwards if we still haven't sorted this problem out.
