In the other vote the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has pass a cloture vote 63-33 with several Republicans supporting it. The Defense Department immediately ordered their new camouflage outfits:
Given all the bad things that could have happened in this lame-duck session I'd say the country came out relatively unscathed. No cap-and-tax, no card check for unions, the massive omnibus budget and Dem payoff bill was pulled, DREAM Act failed. Of all the liberal goals only DADT survived. Pretty small victory for a party that still had a huge majority in both Houses of Congress.
There's still a vote to come on the START treaty, but that's not looking very strong right now. Hopefully that goes down too.

The repeal of DADT will weaken the security of the USA at its core. The UCMJ prohibits sexual relationships between nonmarried members of the military, so expect homosexuals to both use that for legal homosexual "marriage" and for a discrimination lawsuit that allows sexual conduct between members of the military i.e. a change in the UCMJ. To say the country came out relatively unscathed is not correct.
