CNSNews.com) – (Updated) The Senate on Thursday evening voted 93-7 to approve a defense authorization bill that includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, it also repeals the military ban on sex with animals--or bestiality.
On Nov. 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.
It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the effort to remove sodomy from military law stems from liberal Senate Democrats' and President Obama’s support for removing the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
“It’s all about using the military to advance this administration’s radical social agenda,” Perkins told CNSNews.com. “Not only did they overturn Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but they had another problem, and that is, under military law sodomy is illegal, just as adultery is illegal, so they had to remove that prohibition against sodomy.”
Perkins said removing the bestiality provision may have been intentional--or just “collateral damage”
“Well, whether it was inadvertent or not, they have also taken out the provision against bestiality,” he said. “So now, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), there’s nothing there to prosecute bestiality."
Former Army Col. Bob Maginnis said some military lawyers have indicated that bestiality may be prosecutable under another section of the military code of justice – the “catch-all” Article 134 for offenses against “good military order and discipline.”
But don't count on that, he said.
“If we have a soldier who engages in sodomy with an animal – whether a government animal or a non-government animal – is it, in fact, a chargeable offense under the Uniform Code? I think that’s in question,” Maginnis told CNSNews.com.
“When the reader stops laughing, the reader needs to ask the question whether or not this is in the best interests of the government, in the best interests of the military and the best interests of the country? I think not.”
He added: “Soldiers, unfortunately, like it or not, have engaged in this type of behavior in the past. Will they in the future, if they remove this statute? I don’t know.”
Perkins said there was no attempt to remove the UCMJ repeal provision from the bill, which Perkins had expected the Senate to approve.
Now that it has passed, however, the Senate version will have to go to a conference committee, and Perkins predicts there will be several sticking points with the House.
“The House in their version of the defense authorization, reinforced the Defense of Marriage Act, saying that there is a military DOMA as well, prohibiting same-sex marriage on military bases – something the Department of Defense is pushing for,” he said.
“And now this is an added concern, that sodomy has been removed, and as we have discovered, that bestiality--the prohibition against it--has been removed from the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So yes, the House will have problems with this bill.”
A tyrant needs an immoral military to stay in power. A military that will kill the innocent, the Christians, the GOOD without question. Make no mistake, this is the WHY of this bill.
You mean all those dogs at the enlisted club were illegal?
My Senator James Webb is certainly a fan of bizarre sexual behavior.
Even if they didn’t notice the part about sodomy, this is ridiculous. 93 Senators voted to remove gay sex from the bill? I don’t give a damn whether or not the Democrat congress reversed Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. It’s time to reverse it again, not time for virtually every Republican in the Senate to go along with it.
And some of those few who voted against the bill may have done so because they didn’t want to vote for defense spending—Bernie Sanders, for instance—and not because of this particular section. He is certainly not a conservative.
Yes he is. I remember being excited to see him when he came to USNA to give a speech about his new movie that was coming out. That was back in the late 90’s. What a disappointment he turned out to be. He really could have been a great politician if he had some principles. Oh well. One term Senator which means he planned this just to screw the Republicans in 2006. Nasty man.
93-7
PLEASE tell me you forgot your sarc tag. You can tell me you were just being silly on a Friday Night.....perhaps had a few too many (which I applaud you for). Please!!!!!!!!! I cannot even get my mind around those numbers if you are not kidding.
I would be most interested in learning what republicans voted for this, I want to call and holler like a Drill Sergeant, also email their office's, all in CAPs.
If we are nation built on Christianity, and were are, and we believe the biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which I do, then we as a nation should be concerned about such an overwhelming vote by our representatives.
“beat you like a gubmint mule” has a whole new meaning.
(( ping ))
I would say, “Pray for America”, but I think it’s too late.
This country has swirled down the toilet.
When I get the names of the traitorous scum who voted for this repeal, I will let you know.
The roll call for this vote is listed here. . .
Here’s the list, Top.
Here’s the list.
I do believe we are in the mist of a war being waged between good and evil in heaven right now. It has been prophesied in the Bible that these things will come to past in the end times and I believe you and I are living in those last days.
Thank you both.
Only 3 Repubs voted against it: Coburn, Lee and Paul.
More evidence, if moer is neede, that the inmates are truly running the aslyum, or asslyumn.
What a nightmare. God Bless our troops.
Amen!
This is almost unbelievable and I say almost because at times it looks like we have all liberals in the Capital.
It might be time for Congress to actually read and ponder the bills they pass. Just a thought...
