The Law Schools focus their anger on the wrong entity.

Until 1993, the anti-gay ban was just DOD POLICY, that could have been undone with the ink of a pen by the Prez (Clinton) or the Secy of Defense.

But the cowardly, draft dodger, Clinton, had no credibility with the generals, so he dared not rescind the POLICY. Instead, he had the Democrat Congress pass the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) LAW.

The military, being bound by LAWS, has to obey. It has no choice.

So, the "military policy" against gays cited by the Law Schools is no such thing. The gay ban is a LAW passed by a Dem Congress and signed by a Dem President. If the military recruiters disobey it, they get court-martialed.

The Law Schools ought to be picketing Clinton, and the Democrat Members of Congress that passed it if they don't like the policy.

And the news outlets oughta be more precise. DADT is not "military policy," it is federal LAW.

What's with a BC law professor arguing against a DOD policy that is similar to the policy at BC? Why doesn't he present his argument to the crowd at the BC/BYU football game next Fall? Is this the same idiot that wanted BC to drop football a few years ago?
