It’s pretty long, I’m reading it now. Since the military is ordered by the court to not investiage or kick out any perverts, it’s not a win but at least they’re holding it up for a while.

Court: ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Will Temporarily Stay in Place

Published July 16, 2011

San Francisco – The military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is back in place for the time being, with one major caveat: the government is not allowed to investigate, penalize or discharge anyone who is openly gay.

A San Francisco federal appeals court ordered the military to temporarily continue the controversial policy in an order late Friday, the court’s response to a request from the Obama administration.

The order is the latest twist in the legal limbo gay service members have found themselves in as the policy is fought in the courts simultaneous to its slow dismantling by the federal government, which expects to do away with it by later this year.
