SocraticGadfly: Team Obama continues to OPPOSE DADT

Team Obama continues to OPPOSE DADT

The Obama Administration has let lapse the time to appeal to the Supreme Court a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling from last year that gay and lesbian discharges from the military must be justified on a case-by-case basis.

That said, the WSJ notes this means the case returns to district court, where Team Obama plans continue to defend Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

So, actually, this is, in a sense, BAD news. The Obama Administration could have let the appeal time lapse AND chosen not to specifically fight Maj. Margaret Witt’s lawsuit over her discharge. But, noooo…

So, don’t let Obamiacs or Mainstream Liberal Blogs spin this story. And, ignore the WSJ headline.

And, assume this decision comes all the way from the top.
