The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would begin the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," sending responsibility for final action to the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has scheduled a vote on the matter as soon as this weekend. A handful of Republican senators have announced their support for the measure, meaning Reid has enough votes to overcome a filibuster, but opponents could still offer a flood of amendments in a last-ditch effort to run out the clock before passage.
