Court Orders End to Ban on Gay Service Members

Zombies are at work here at TAH. Be warned!

I deleted this post. Yet it lives.

Now I’m afraid to delete it again!

Since it’s here yet again; read the link and wonder just what the urgency is?

Is there some guy in uniform somewhere wanting to wear a dress?

This decision does precisely nothing. It only voided the stay, which was immaterial anyway, because the only ones being kicked out are those SPECIFICALLY REQUESTING to be separated.

It allows openly gay people to enlist.

Hmf………..9th circuit? meh…..

J: Openly gay folks can already enlist. We aren’t allowed to ask anymore. So, they could enlist before, but wouldn’t “tell” until they were in. I suppose the distinction isn’t much. But, I can see your point. They could just wait until SEP of course, when they could enlist anyway.

There are groups with a vested political interest in “forcing” the end of DADT because they’re “fighting” and fighting requires bad guys and the triumph of “justice” in the courts. It creates a better historical narrative.

I think I missed something… Which article of the Constitution is it that says the judiciary can tell the executive and legislative branches what to do?
I agree, it seems the DoD is ready to cave; probably because the worthless flag officers in the puzzle palace are more concerned about pleasing the head of the executive branch to protect their jobs than they are about doing what’s right for the warfighter.
If the executive had any manhood, he’d tell the 9th Circuit to take a hike.
