SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court says the military should keep in place its "don't ask, don't tell" policy for now.

9th U.S. Circuit Court did something right...

[Ronin]

Aw.... the sissies are going to be so UPSET!!!

[joltinjoe]

I hope the new congress will impeach the original judge. Obviously she is out of the mainstream, (I won’t hold my breath).

[evad]

awwwwwwwwwwww

[TSgt]

The hot thing about this is that it is getting the fag vote all pissed off at Obama. He’s between an asshole and a hard place.

LOL!

[jazusamo]

Amazing...The poofters won’t be happy.

[IrishCatholic]

They didn't have a choice, believe me. If they did assert that a single federal judge could act in such a manner there was nothing to stop a single federal judge from stopping Obamacare nationwide.

At least that was my thought as to why rabid pro homosexual leftists would oppose this at all.

[brownsfan]

It’s not a ban. The military is simply telling gays to keep it to themselves.

Pun, most definitely, intended.

[dead]

Where does the judicial branch of our government get the balls to tell the military that they have any say whatsoever in the military's recruiting process?

[pissant]

THANK GOD.

They are just trying to push this issue off until after the election. they know that most Americans don't agree with the decisio0n to allow gays into the military and don't want Democrats to pay the price for it on Nov 2nd.

After Nov 2nd, they will jam this down our throats.

From a Judge that never served in the military...

I missed something somewhere, but I thought if DADT was struck down, the original regulation would be followed.

But he's not on the ballot on Nov 2nd...Democrats in the House and Senate are...thats who the appelate is trying to save.

BINGO!!!

[screaminsunshine]

We can put the Flaming 69th division in the front line to distract the enemy while the 1st Tomboy Battalion hits them from the rear.

I have heard that somewhere but I am looking for the actual proof...I know DADT was a policy but I am trying to determine the law that back it up.

[Keith in Iowa]

The 9th Circus... wow.

[lag along]

I would think that the base document is the UMCJ. I do not think that the UCMJ specifies that homosexuality itself is a crime but it does deal with such issues as sodomy and conduct prejudicial to the service. The UCMJ is promulgated and authorized by Congress. Congress is the sole arbitrator of these issues under the constitution despite contrary court rulings from judges gone wild.
