It
appears that the long-overdue Senate vote on the repeal of DADT will
come at last
next
week.
A senior Democratic
leadership aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Reid met
with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday to inform
the Republican leader that the fiscal year 2011 defense authorization
bill will come to the Senate floor the week of Sept. 20. The aide said
Senate leadership is anticipating the Senate won’t have unanimous
consent to bring the legislation to the floor, so 60 votes will be
necessary to end a filibuster and move forward with debate on the bill.
“We are going to take it the floor next week to see where the votes
are,” the aide said.
