Hey, why not. Gays can now marry in California. Just open the floodgates.

Separation of powers? What’s that?

One would assume that this can be appealed to the USSC, where at the moment they usually understand what the Constitution is.

Nothing the 9th Circus Court does is a surprise...anything immoral goes with this lot.

What the h*** business is it of the Ninth Circus what reason the Air Force gives for discharging someone?

Is there no affair of man or beast that the Ninth Circus doesn't consider within its purview?

Riddle of the day:

What is the difference between a dictator and a leftist court?

The dictator only has one head.

citing the Supreme Court's 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision

To think of how Scalia and Santorum were scorned and ridiculed when they warned where Lawrence v. Texas would lead.

If the nation were best defended by an army made exclusively of 3-legged dwarfs, that’s the one I’d want. If we lose a war, it’s no consolation that we, at least, were non-discriminatory in our recruiting practices.

Fine, the USAF should set aside her discharge then courts martial her for misconduct and send her sorry ass to prison for ten years.

Ninth Circuit Rules Against Military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' By Pete Winn CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer May 21, 2008

What is a civilian court doing meddling in military matters? Since they are lawyers and leftists with disordered minds it is no surprise. But where is the "adult leadership" in this country? That court needs a slapdown for sure!

Normally, we don't need to worry much about a dumb decision by the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals. It is the most reversed Court of Appeals in the known universe. However, in this case, the Ninth is relying on a prior (5-4) decision in the US Supreme Court.

The sodomy decision from the US Supreme Court is coming back to haunt the whole American judiciary, exactly as Justice Scalia then predicted in his sharp dissent.

Barack, as a potential commander-in-chief, just let out a sigh of relief. “Na dey won’t ax me, thank Allah” he was heard to mutter.

I think the real story here isn’t the Major’s sexuality, but the how her command came to decision to file discharge paperwork, especially with about two years to go for retirement.

I agree with the Nine Circus. If its permitted for gays to marry, then there's no reason they have who they are in the U.S military. I've always thought "don't ask, don't tell" is morally offensive. Its the equivalent of a lie and doesn't change the fact that you are who you are but you not allowed to acknowledge it.

I know it seems very easy to slap down the Ninth Circuit, and as retired military I have very grave concerns about the impact of explicit homosexual behavior on troop moral. However, the opinion seems well written and does make some valid points: WITT v. DEPARTMENT OF AIR FORCE

It does sound like this woman kept her affairs to herself and strictly honored the "don't tell" part of the policy. All the Court has decided is that the discharge is not automatic, that judicial review of the Air Force's application of the policy in this case is appropriate (that is what Due Process means), and that it actually has to hear and decide the case based on law. That is not so bad, actually.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? You can serve your country without any problems for 18-years and then have the floor ripped out from under you because you’re gay. And two years before retirement benefits kick in!

Disgusting.

Whatever problems we have against John McCain, he would never knowingly appoint judges of the like who are responsible for this ruling. No one can say the same about Obama or Hillary.

Gays simply don’t belong in the military or anywhere else people are in close contact with one another. I find it all I can do to restrain myself from committing assault at the gym when some guy is staring at me in the shower. Gays should stick to sodomizing each other and stay away from the rest of us.
