Gays simply don’t belong in the military or anywhere else people are in close contact with one another. I find it all I can do to restrain myself from committing assault at the gym when some guy is staring at me in the shower. Gays should stick to sodomizing each other and stay away from the rest of us.

Maybe the USSC will use this case to reverse Lawrence v. Texas.

The 9th Circuit court is the most overruled by the SCOTUS.

We have reached the point where perversion is called good and good is called evil. God save us! Time to start building an ark and let God wipe these evil bastards off the face of the earth.

If its permitted for gays to marry, then there's no reason they have who they are in the U.S military There are some pretty good reasons not to allow homosexuals to serve -- like the sexual privacy of the heterosexual military personnel. I'm sure quite a few don't want to have room, shower, undress in front of or share a foxhole with someone that might have sexual attract to them.

I cannot see McCain being able to get any decent justice nominee through. The Senate will reject anyone he nominates, except, maybe Hillary Clinton. A conservative President might consider letting the Democrats keep rejecting nominees and let the vacancies linger if the justices that retire are liberal ones. Unfortunately, McCain isn't a conservative.

wow. just wow. There is nothing I can type to rebut your arguments more than saying that and noting that it’s not a compliment in any way.

"One would assume that this can be appealed to the USSC, where at the moment they usually understand what the Constitution is." Only until "president" Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama (PBUH) gets a chance to nominate three or four justices, after which the 9th Circuit will look conservative in comparison.

Section 7 of Article 1 in our Constitution grants Congress the power to make rules for the government and regulation of our armed forces.
Certain rights and privileges in the military have always been curtailed.
It thus seems to me that an argument can be made that the courts do not have jurisdiction over rules regarding homosexuality.

Yes ... I doubt they have jurisdiction.

The federal district court in Tacoma, Wash., held that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was not subject to judicial review, and the Air Force didn't have to prove anything other than that she was a homosexual. But the Ninth Circuit, citing the Supreme Court's 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision...
This does it. I'm 100% convinced now - the 9th Circus reaches its decisions by reading chicken entrails.

This is Congress' LAW, not the military's policy.

From the statement of facts in the decision "While serving in the Air Force, Major Witt never told any member of the military that she was homosexual I can almost guarantee that her sexuality affected the structure of her command.

At 18, I really doubt she was a nurse.
