DOD Authorization Bill Cleared for the White House

The Senate passed the conference report on the FY2010 Department of Defense (DOD) authorization bill (H.R. 2647) today. The 68-29 vote came despite Republican objections to the inclusion of language expanding the definition of hate crimes, and a veto threat from the President. The bill authorizes $680 billion in defense spending.
