California Court Decision Overturned

Last week I blogged about how a California Appeals Court was going to force the military to immediately end the Clinton-era Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) policy and to implement the law that allows gays to serve openly. This appeals court is notoriously liberal, continuously rendering decisions that fall to the left of the political debate. As is normal for a liberal institution, they don’t bother to account for how the decision will impact the vast majority or even the impact on those they are supposedly favoring.

Oddly enough the Obama Administration does understand. Obama and his group have actually sided with the military and with reason with respect to orderly ending DADT and execution of the new law. For now, the DADT policy is back in effect until the military can get the training/indoctrination completed and certify the repeal of DADT.
