Pelosi is very confident that by the end of this year DADT will be history. So, I think DADT will be attached to the DOD bill again after the November election.

| The bill was introduced under Rule 14, which meant it will be immediately placed on the Senate calendar where it can be brought to the Senate floor for consideration at any time without the need to go through the committee process. However, a Rule 14 process is a two-day process, so this will not be completed until the Senate returns from the President’s Day recess. |
