Representative Patrick Murphy Getting The Ball Rolling On DADT?
Iraq Veteran Patrick Murphy will take the lead in advancing legislation to overturn the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy when Rep. Ellen Tauscher moves to the State Department to be President Obama’s Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Talking Points Memo reports:
“There’s major symbolic significance to that move. Murphy is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and, more importantly, a Bronze Star winner and the first Iraq war veteran to serve in Congress.”
You may remember him from the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell hearings in July of 2008 where he completely and utterly owned Elaine Donnelly.
