48. Im thankful for the for the work he has done on the repeal
however I'm not sure about :

his methodical way was to make sure it wold not be overturned.


The repeal does one thing only, it repeals the law. It does not place any law into effect that protects LGB service members. The next GOP president could come along and with a simple order re-instate a similar policy. The legal protections that were needed to prevent that were stripped out of the bill that was passed at the last moment.

Unless Im miss understanding which is a possibility too:)
