Reply #16: Barney Frank on MSNBC said there is much misinformation about DADT.

He said it is a statute that Pres Obama cannot simply ignore nor wipe away with a stroke of his pen. It was written to be ironclad. I understand there is much frustration with the slow, inch by inch progress that is unfolding, but I don't think poking the president with sharp sticks is helpful.

Pres Obama reiterated that not interfering with enforcement in the interim was the price for the votes to repeal DADT. Now that DADT has been declared unconstitutional, the final ruling on that by either the 9th Circuit Court or the Supreme Court will successfully and permanently kill it and Congress can do the final honor of repeal.

Patience.
