You know, I really wish people on all sides of the debate and especially on the conservative side would stop referring to DADT as a ban on gays serving in the military. The policy explicitly PERMITS gays to serve provided they keep quiet about being gay. The policy replaces the old policy which actually WAS an outright ban.

I favor the outright ban - DoD Directive 1332.14. It is ironic, and serves as a good example of how the left is able to successfully manipulate the debate, because conservatives are put in a position of defending a policy that we were against...Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was a compromise that permitted homosexuals into the military.

What the law means is that the question of “Are you a homosexual” is not going to be asked.
Homosexuality is still banned, hence the discharges for those who are caught.
Basically the situation is “We’re not going to ask, and you shut the heck up about it.”

As Donnelly states, the “old” policy was never rescinded but Clinton made his “attitude” become a policy that was appended to the law that bars Queers from being the military.
The military went along with the illegal policy and here we are.

So, the queers want the DADT “rule” to be defeated then the original law takes its place.
The judge was a Clinton dufus and we really now have a law in effect that outright bans Queers in the military.
How long before the LSM finally gets that message.

The illegal activity that Zero persists in executing as he did with the AZ law in which it was not read correctly by another Clinton dufus judge who had NO legal authority to pass any judgment and a milk-toast governor who would not fight a communist usurper of the COTUS in the matter (she could have ignored the ruling and provoked a needed fight with Zero and DOJ.
