Senate Blocks DADT, Delays DREAM Act

Christianity Today December 9, 2010

Senate Republicans blocked an effort to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” today, garnering 57 of the 60 votes needed. The Senate attempted a vote in September to change the military’s policy barring openly gay members from serving.

One Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, voted yes. The Wall Street Journalreports that other Republicans were willing to support the repeal but said the Senate needed to consider tax and spending legislation first.

The Senate delayed a vote on the DREAM Act, which carves out a path to legal status for foreign-born children brought to the United States illegally. The House passed the the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act Wednesday. Last week, Regent University President Carlos Campo was included on a White House conference call supporting the DREAM Act.
