Judge Virginia Phillips ordered the military "immediately to suspend and discontinue any investigation, or discharge, separation, or other proceeding, that may have been commenced under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"."
The judge had previously ruled that the policy regarding gays serving in the military violated service members Fifth Amendment rights but delayed issuing the injunction.

our country should not be represented with war, everyone out there is wrong right now. Half the soldiers just wanna kill some "brown people". The other half ran out of money for college cause our education system blows and military promises paid education. Though most soldiers i talk to say that they are given the run around when they need the money.

Interesting story...perhaps you are correct...it certainly sounds logical.
But congoboy's comment is associating gay sex with dogs fucking each other. Its offensive! And my point is that its no different than the insinuation that lonely straight farmers have sex with their farm animals.

Six years in...and every rainbow chit I ever saw was a straight dude just trying to get out. I never witnessed DADT being enforced the way it was "meant" to be enforced. The problem is that the UCMJ needs to be updated from the 18th century. Live with your girlfriend...your committing adultery. Go down on her, your committing sodomy and can get kicked out.
I know I get shit for this, but when I was a supervisor, I had a lot more issues dealing with females than the two or three gay guys we had. I didn't have to worry about them getting pregnant prior to a deployment.

Gays and lesbians have already fought and died in battle for their country. Almost all of the discharges happen once their tours of duty have ended. They are more than willing to use us and then throw us out if we don't happen to already be dead. You know, because they're principled and compassionate like that.

It looks like the evil policy of DADT is falling off the cliff of inevitability at this point. With so much of the public against it, the dubious nature of its legality, and congress moving towards repeal, it's likely this will be a thing of the past within a year. This particular ruling will likely be appealed, but the injunction against its continued implementation is binding until the case is finally settled.
On a side note, it's nice to see the Log Cabin Republicans actually contributing to the struggle for gay rights. I guess they're only 40 years late to the movement, but it's progress of a kind. Up until now they have done little more than provide a veneer of tolerance to the Republican Party's actual love affair with bigot incitement. That being said, credit where credit is due.
Although I will admit to being somewhat confused by their decision to pursue this as a legal challenge. I thought the boilerplate conservative argument was against using the courts to decide...well anything, it would seem. That is, aside from corporatist rulings granting them personhood and the right to spend unlimited amounts of money in elections, but not on the really important issues. You know, like gay people marrying and being able to have a job. Crazy radical stuff.

Since when does some liberal judge have the authority to tell the military what it can, and cant do. This is a armed services, and congressional problem. Not some judge with an agenda.

No, judges are above checks, because judges dont judge from the bench anymore. They wave their biased flags out and loud, and impose their berkley lifestyle apon us. Im sure you were talking shit when the judges said that a moratorium on the wells was unconstitutional. Stop picking and choosing which liberties you would like to uphold.
