Activist Judge Orders Injunction on ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

Weasel Zippers says: Judicial activism at its finest. Note: So what is the military supposed to do now? Revert back to the old policy of seeking out and discharging gays?


The Associated Press reports that a federal judge ordered the military Tuesday to immediately stop enforcing its ban on openly gay troops, bringing the 17-year "don't ask, don't tell" policy closer than it has ever been to being abolished.

Justice Department attorneys have 60 days to appeal the injunction but did not say what their next step would be.

President Barack Obama has backed a Democratic effort in Congress to repeal the law, rather than in an executive order or in court.

The Military Code of Justice calls for the immediate expulsion of any military person discovered to be a homosexual or lesbian. Do they all get flushed now?
