88. This isn't rocket science
(and I'm not trying to be difficult either - I've always respected what you have to say, even when we disagree)

1> Judge Phillips' covers all US servicemembers worldwide.

2) She found DADT unconstitutional.

3) Her ruling means DADT is overturned, until and unless the administration appeals.

4) No one BUT the administration has standing to appeal.

5) If the administration declines to appeal andn Obama obeys the court order - the law is dead.

6) Since the law is dead, there is no law any longer for anyone to file a new case on.

7) So the argument that "some other judge somewhere" will reach a different conclusion is facetious.


Btw, what are your thoughts on Valerie Jarret referring to a dead, gay kid as having made a "lifestyle choice"?
