House Passes DADT Repeal 234-194
The House of Representatives has passed the compromise repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" after long and rancorous debate. I'll post highlight clips from the debate shortly and will update this post with the vote's roll call. Ten reps did not vote, 26 Democrats voted "NO" and only five Republicans voted "YES."
UPDATE: The five GOP "Yes" votes: Charles Djou (Hawaii), Joseph Cao (Louisiana), Judy Biggert (Illinois), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Florida), Ron Paul (Texas).
