The Senate's cloture votes on the DREAM Act and DADT will be happening soon.
Just to give you an idea of the tone of the debates so far, let's compare Ron Wyden's (D-OR) remarks on DADT:
I don't care who you love, if you love this country enough to risk your life for it. You shouldn't have to hide who you are. You ought to be able to serve. [...]
The history of our wonderful nation is spotted with wrongs, but this institution is at its best when it corrects them. That's the opportunity we will have today."
... versus John McCain (R-AZ):
Do you think what this bizarro world that the Majority Leader has been carrying us in of cloture votes on this, votes on various issues that are on the political agenda of the other side. Do you somehow think that beginning next January 5, we will all love one another and kumbaya? I don't think so. I don't think so.
