More directly, show me where service in the Armed Forces is a Constitutional “right”.
On a happier note, zero was at -24 today for the second time this week, according to Ras. -24 is the lowest number he’s ever hit. It’s the only time I’m aware of that he hit the same new low number twice in the same week, and I’ve checked Ras almost every day (I might miss 2-3 days per month) for over a year now.
I remember a similar case during the Clinton era. A cadet at one of the Academices came out as gay just before graduation—he was then discharged. He then sued for reinstatement. Some (Federal) judge ruled in his favor and ordered the Academy to reinstate him. Clinton ignored the ruling on the basis that POTUS was the CINC—not some Federal judge. And I think that was that. In that situation, WJC did the right thing. Of course, Obama will only be too happy to turn his CINC responsibilities over to the Federal courts.
Steve Schmidt's pals.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

This decision won’t stand on appeal, if the Ø does appeal. It is such an incredibly weak argument on many levels. First Amendment rights in the military? Give me a break!
Congress shall have authority to make rules to regulate land and naval forces? Surely that means that gays must be allowed to serve openly, I mean the language is plain enough, isn’t it? I am sure it also means that one legged blind lesbians are automatically qualified for general officer status.

Exactly right!
“This is not good it undermines the military morale.”
EXACTLY!
This sort of totalitarianism was foreshadowed by two clauses in the Constitution that the Antifederalists complained about: the "General Welfare" clause and the "necessary and proper" clause, which taken together, the Antifederalists reasoned (correctly), gave Congress and the federal Government illimitable power over every thing the mind could conceive of, as a subject of legislation and litigation.
It's not like we weren't warned. This is Alexander Hamilton at work again -- "empire without the King" was always what he really wanted, his critics said, and any affection for liberty and republic were just a necessary pretense on his part.
His motive? It was "good for business" -- crony/access capitalism, again. He certainly did well at crony capitalism himself: he made a fortune speculating in gold and silver against the coin of his own Government.
And Ken Mehlman's. And Alan Simpson's. And Mark Foley's. And .... and .... and ..... and, one thinks, probably the majority of Yalies ever inducted into Skull and Bones.
Or Harvardians into the Porcellians. And on and on. The Brotherhood of the Bell.
“This is not good it undermines the military morale.”
EXACTLY!”
They want this crap in there then create a Barney Frank Regiment with matching uniforms.
Zactly! Bezerkley of all learned institutions of law and likely a ‘Hillary’ Rodham Clinton acquaintance as well. *wink* We have to ponder, “why now, after DADT has been in in effect all these year?”
On a persona note, thank you for your service to our country and may God bless you and your family.
The problem is these states are now swing states because of the last batch of Californians who moved and turned formerly solid Republican states like Arizona and Nevada into swing states. Same thing on the east coast with New Yorkers and Massachusites turning New Hampshire and North Carolina into swing states.
“They want this crap in there then create a Barney Frank Regiment with matching uniforms.
And it would look something like this”
LMAO Great!!
This is pretty angering. The military should be allowed to run it’s own affairs without civilian interference, within reason, and not be used as a social labratory. I don’t really even have a problem with gays or gay marriage even, but I find this aggravating.
