Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

So, the United States Senate made it clear that LGBT Americans still aren't equal. Most of us are well aware of that, but the GOPers really drove home the point. Homophobia ruled. But, to be clear, the Obama administration didn't lift a finger to help. The issue for them isn't blatant homophobia, it's political homophobia.

Well, now Team Obama has a political problem on its hands. If DADT repeal doesn't pass in the lame duck, which will be a heavy lift, Obama will enter the midterms without delivering on most of his oft-repeated campaign promises.

There's one obvious solution on the DADT issue: Don't appeal the decision in the Log Cabin Republican case. DADT has been found unconstitutional. Let that decision stand. Last week, Senators Udall and Gillibrand wrote to Attorney General Holder telling him not to appeal that decision. Othere supportive members of Congress should be doing the same thing. We'll get a clue as to how the Obama administration is proceeding when the DOJ responds to LCR's proposed injunction.

And, how about John McCain's deranged, lying rant about DADT yesterday?

Okay, what else?
