But there are still procedural issues before it goes to the House, where the question is "Will the Democrats stick with the leadership?". The House also has to vote shortly on new funding for government operations to the tune of $1.1 trillion dollars... with 6,300 earmarks... But it has to be passed or the US government goes broke. The stand-alone Don't Ask Don't Tell bill is also hanging fire.
