Duncan Hunter's Statement on Today's Don't Ask Don't Tell Debacle!
Teleconference | 10/19/10 | Duncan Hunter

Posted on 10/19/2010 12:37:11 PM PDT by pissant

The United States Military has performed superbly in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrating unprecedented courage and ingenuity in the war against islamic terrorists. A major characteristic of America's military is the bedrock of Judeo-Christian beliefs and heritage, which maintains unit cohesiveness, which in turn translates into combat effectiveness.

Now, liberal extremists, backed by a single activist judge, a Clinton appointee, are trying to inject homosexuals into the ranks of America's fighting forces. This is something that our troops strongly object to.

This is the same homosexual lobby which is attempting, through a judicial fiat, to undo what 31 States (out of 31 States!) have rejected, when they voted to disallow homosexual marriage.

The US Military, and the Secretary of Defense in particular, should be moving quickly to prevent an action which can only result in the debilitation of America's fighting forces. Political correctness and liberal social activism must be blocked, particularly as it applies to our Nation's military readiness and cohesion.

Every Republican in office that cares about the quality and capability of America's military, should be taking action today to stop this disaster, this dangerous action which has emanated from a single activist District Judge.

RE :”Drum them out. BUt Hunter has been out of office for two years, otherwise you can bet he’d be conjuring up legislation to block the district court’s ruling

Given DADT is law and this judge over-turned it I don't see many options beyond waiting for another ruling. Maybe DHs position should be “Impeach the judge” since little can be done anyway.

Democrats tried to deal with Citizens United SCOTUS decision by writing a bill that puts costly mandates on anti-Democrat ads only. But with DADT we don't have final decision.

I think this liberal judge is trying to force the SCOTUS into a corner. If the policy is changed again back to DADT then we will hear weeping and moaning and about 'un-fairness' for tricking these poor gays into coming out. " Oh the inhumanity". Obama will yell at the SCOTUS again in the next SOTU address.

Just like Congress passes laws prohibiting ambulance chasing dirtbags and mayors from suing firearms manufacturers out of business, Congress can prohibit the courts from re-writing the military code to please the marxists and pinkos.

Sounds familiar. Normally civilian courts stay away from military matters and leave it to congress and the WH.

You can thank the poofers in the Log Cabin “Republicans” for judge shopping for a marxist judge.

This is an effective way to accomplish what the left has wanted all along...the destruction of the most effective military force the world has ever seen.

Yes.

The real risk to Homos is that they come out and then DADT goes back into effect.

No risk at all - they will be "grandfathered" just as the sodomites in California weren't declared not "married" after Prop 8 passed. These enscounced sodomites will serve as a strong foothold for their next attack.

My Congresscritter and Senators (TX) are already against this move. What can be done to get them to try to avert this move?

The GOP is completely incapable of showing justifiable outrage at this point. It’s hard to be outraged when your spine is made of jello.

so so so sadly true.

After all these rallies these clowns still do not get it.

I’ve F-IN had it with all this crap.
Any obama voter out there as far as I am concerned is a fool and will be treated as such.

Any media I ever see will get a good piece of my mind for their cover up and bias as will any republican rep who does not fight this and fight the clown in chief.

The real risk to Homos is that they come out and then DADT goes back into effect.

Possibly, but then again, laws can be a play on words as well. The main purpose of Proposition 8 was that it never prevented same-sex marriages from happening. The weddings could still happen, people could still live together in communal relationships, and a great deal wouldn’t stop them. They still could after it passed. The real issue though, is that the tax breaks ordinarily offered based on marital status wouldn’t. The word that describes this situation is SUPERFICIAL.

In DADT, the case is that you can most certainly be gay and serve, but you should keep the behavior to yourself. The same is true for heterosexuals in the sense that if I were a man in the military, It is against the rules for me to practice sexual behavior with female military personnel. DADT was a compromise between Clinton and others, and was more favorable to gays than prior statements. In this case, they’ll say DADT is gone, but either simply place a policy that is textually just like it on the books, but since it is not entitled, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, it really doesn’t matter, the move would largely be superficial. On the other hand, this could be like Carper where the judiciary doesn’t bother reading before making the ruling, and unleashes a pile of disaster on the military. I hope that neither situation happens.
