Reply #21: Congress can strike DADT. The Senate vote is for letting Obama do it on his own.

[Honeycombe8]

DADT is a statute. The President, whoever s/he is, cannot strike out a statute. Only Congress can strike a federal statute.

The Senate vote, O is saying, is to let him do just that. If that doesn't pass, then the Congress can still strike the statute on its own.

But DADT has been rule unconstitutional. It's only a matter of time.

The old saying is...the wheels of justice turn slowly. It's true. When you're a nation of laws and not a dictatorship, things take more time.
