Democratic senators spoke about the Republican filibuster of the Defense Authorization Bill. The senate failed to pass a cloture motion on the bill, generally over objections to parliamentary procedures and an amendment authorizing the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. The vote was 56 to 43, but needed 60 votes to end debate on the legislation. close
