GOP Senator Ensign, under criminal investigation over affair with staffer, may try to block DADT repeal

Ensign, who is facing a criminal investigation over an affair he had with a staffer, is opposed to passing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" compromise because he thinks it "repeals" DADT before the military's study is done. He's a bit of an idiot in addition to a philanderer. The legislation does not repeal DADT at all. It only permits DADT to be repealed once the study is done - the legislation says that, explicitly. So to oppose the legislation because somehow it would repeal DADT before the study is done, when the legislation specifically says the study has to happen first, makes Ensign either a liar, or an idiot.
