Indeed

DADT Vote More Proof the Senate Is Broken

Pundits and politicians throw around the accusation of "playing politics" so frequently that it's become nearly meaningless. But if there's a case where it's warranted, it's here. Most Americans support repeal of DADT. The secretary of defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a majority of members of the armed services back repeal. In fact, more than 60 members of the Senate support it. And yet the bill couldn't get 60 votes.
