Levin and McCain want stripped-down defense bill added to lame-duck agenda

The Senate added another item to its busy lame-duck schedule after the top members of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced a stripped-down defense authorization bill. Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), the chairman and ranking member of the panel, said they'd reached an agreement on a defense bill from which controversial provisions — like a repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell" — had been removed. The defense bill only piles onto a jam-packed agenda for the Senate in the final days of the lame-duck Congress. The Senate still has to finish work on a standalone repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," the DREAM Act and the New START Treaty, the last of which is up for Senate consideration on Thursday. |
More excuses for republicans to filibuster the dream act?
