According to the The Daily Beast, Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand, the freshman New York Democrat who replaced Hillary Clinton, may introduce an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill tomorrow to put an 18-month moratorium on dismissing gay service members from the military under the Pentagon’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.

This is what we’ve been asking the President to do for months . Now it seems a freshman Senator, who was interrupted by Sen. Leahy during her introduction of Judge Sotomayor at the Latina’s hearing today, may have a new claim to fame.

If this happens, my hope for this country will be renewed.
