His ability to justify behaviour is legendary, specially since I remember that he told john Kerry to run on an anti gay marriage platform to reduce support for George bush. I hate his finger wagging

Veto-proof majority for a ban on open service? Interesting memory, but take a look at the roll call for the House of Representatives's vote on a Duncan Hunter amendment to do exactly that:

Not even a *simple majority.*

As far as Charles Robb being one of the most conservative Democratic Senators, he certainly wasn't regarding LGBT rights in general, as he supported the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and was one of 14 senators who opposed the DOMA.
