I think that's the only thing I would ever feel ever again, were I a US Senator today.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planning to hold a vote this year in her chamber of Congress for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal, according to her office.

“It is the Speaker’s intention that a vote will be taken this year on <'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'> in the House,” Drew Hammill, a Pelosi spokesperson, told DC Agenda in a statement Monday.

The announcement is promising news for repeal advocates because Pelosi has yet to put legislation to the floor that hasn’t had sufficient support for passage.

Michael Cole, a Human Rights Campaign spokesperson, praised Pelosi for planning the vote.

“As we’ve been saying for a long time now, the time to repeal the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law is this year, and it’s a positive sign to hear congressional leaders affirm that,” Cole said.

Still, Cole said further work is necessary to make repeal happen.

“We need pressure on the Congress, we need pressure on the White House, we need pressure across the board, and as we get into this critical period, signs like that are promising,” he said.

Damn good work, Speaker Pelosi. Damn good work.

7. I agree with you, in my lifetime (38) she is the best speaker I've seen.

Don't always agree with her decisions, but she makes people like Newt look like a...well...newt.
