The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial law prohibiting homosexuals from openly serving in the armed forces can remain in place while the government appeals a federal judge's decision striking down the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act.
A gay rights group asked the high court to overturn a stay order from the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals keeping the law in effect while that court reviews the case. The petition from the Log Cabin Republicans was presented to Justice Anthony Kennedy who is responsible for handling emergency requests out of the Ninth Circuit.
Kennedy's order simply said, "the application to vacate the stay entered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on November 1, 2010, presented to Justice Kennedy and by him referred to the Court is denied." The order also noted that Justice Elena Kagan, who until this summer was Solicitor General, didn't take part in the case.

True also.
Can somebody tell me why queers want to be in the military in the first place?
If the liberals couldn’t get 4 votes to grant cert of this interlocutory appeal (with Kagan either recusing herself or not participating for some other reason), then it’s a pretty safe bet thay Kennedy voting against granting cert.
The problem is that 2% of the population is dictating policy. They are the most protected class of people living here. Just look at the influence they have.
To destroy it, like any good leftist would.
Obama and the Dems may have helped tilt the Court rightward with that chastisement Obama gave during the State of the Union speech. Imagine being humiliated before a snickering Congress and hectored before tens of millions of your fellow citizens. That surely left its mark.

We should put all the queers in the same unit and put them into the thickest of the fighting. Use them as point people to detect IEDs.
I dont know about the rest but Sam Alito will no longer go to another SOTU address while zer0 is _resident.

Ping!!!
Since when has Obama let the Constitution get in the way of his destroy-America agenda?
P.S. What kind of defense do you think his JD will put up? I’ll bet that their “defense” will be so bad that it is hardly better than none at all.
Like any tin-plated tyrant—justice is the only thing he fears.
Because those uniforms are so FAB?
Because that’s where all the men are.

And once the Rs are in place, DADT will never be repealed, unless and until it's repealed to bring back "Ask, if answer is wrong, OUT the door!" No "open" homosexuals in the military is also very bad. Gotta be "ask, tell, and out the door".
But the queer bars are full of them. And even the queers raised in the country are not held back from finding willing partners.
It seems to me that the likelihood of breaking a fingernail, standing a watch alone all night, having to sweat, schlep a heavy pack and risk their lives would definitely not be high on their agenda of desirable activities.
