Complete title: ‘On What?’--McCain Says He Didn’t Know Defense Bill He Approved Repealed Military Ban on Sodomy, Bestiality

Video at link

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that he did not know that the 926-page Defense Department authorization bill that came through his committee and was approved by the Senate last week on 93 to 7 vote included a provision that would repeal the military’s ban on sodomy and bestiality if the bill becomes law.

CNSNews.com asked McCain: “Senator, did you read the Defense authorization bill that was passed last week? Were you aware of the language that repealed the ban on sodomy and bestiality?”

“On what?” McCain replied.

CNSNews.com followed up: “The repeal of the ban on sodomy and bestiality in the military, were you at all aware of that?”

“I’ll have to ask my folks,” McCain said. “I—I will check on it and have, and he’ll get back to you.”

CNSNews.com then asked: “You don’t agree with that language?”

“I don’t, I don’t know what you’re—honestly. I read the bill. And I was there for many hours of deliberation and debate and amendments. And probably spent hundreds of, several hundred hours on it. But that particular provision I did not know. So we’ll have, we’ll get back to you. We’ll get back to you. Just call.”

As CNSNews.com previously reported the bill that was first approved by the Armed Service Committee, where McCain is ranking member, and then on the Senate floor, where McCain voted for it, does in fact include a provision repealing the military’s ban on sodomy and bestiality.

Page 174 of the bill includes a provision headlined in capital letters: “REPEAL OF SODOMY ARTICLE.” Click here to see a PDF of the page.

The provision states: “Section 925 of such title (article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) is repealed.” Click here to see the language of the provision as posted on Uniform Code of Miltary Justice website.

Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which anyone can find by doing a Google search, says: “(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.”

After the interview with Sen. McCain, CNSnews.com followed up with his office, as the senator suggested, asking why McCain had not been aware of the provision that woud repeal the military's ban on sodomy and bestiality and, now that he was aware of the provision, whether he supported it. McCain's office did not immediately respond.

So what the hell do we pay these worthless pieces of crap that we call Senators & Representatives for? Ya think maybe a small part should be to READ THE DAMN bill you vote one. I’ve had it!!!!!!! I understand that there really are honest and hard working Congressman that actually do what they have taken an oath to do. The rest MUST go. That means voting, people! And getting your neighbors to vote, and in the mean time, read....educate yourself daily on what is going on.

You would have to have law books and study each item in order to get any sense out of it.

I will not vote for any legislators that are willing to vote for anything the do not read, cannot read, or cannot understand.

If he’s getting too feeble to read the bills he should move on.
He’s been a big F-up since he got into politics and we know he served and was a prisoner but he is among the biggest disasters in politics and has enabled a lot of the most left wing politics the Democrats had going.

Retire John and be shamed, you should be IMO.

You have that right.

That doesn't make it correct.

What compelling government interest, and under what limited and enumerated power, do you suppose making oral sex between two married individuals illegal would fall under?

Do you believe in a limited government?

Do you believe in individual liberty?

The government interest is just that other taxpayers shouldn't be stuck paying for all the diseases that they will pass back and forth.

My own thing is I would not want to be a -————— by proxy.

Why would you want to kiss a mouth knowing what had been in there?

It is extremely degrading and wife abuse to make your wife do that.

She will soon want the taxpayers to support her.

I don't "make" my wife do anything, pal. She does it because she enjoys it, because she knows it brings me intense physical pleasure. And I do the same for her, as often as I possibly can.

I have no problem kissing her goodbye every morning and hello every evening.

I'm also a military veteran of the USMC. Now, tell me now. Right here and to my face that you think I should have gone to prison for it.

Was going to commend the 7 who opposed but seeing Harkin and Sanders in the mix tells me their reasons had nothing to do with the repeal. Can’t stand McCain but all of them should be held accountable by their constituents.

The repeal is because the goal is to trash the Constitution and allow Shari’a law to rule over us, instead.
