BREAKING: In DADT case, 'the Court DENIES Defendants' Application for a Stay'

[Bluebear]

Via Twitter, big news from California:

Federal judge refuses to lift injunction halting ban on gays serving openly in military - Reuters

And, this one from Log Cabin Republicans:

173 hours after #DADT was suspended, Judge Phillips once again stands with service against's #POTUS and his discriminatory policy

The Obama administration can now ask the Ninth Circuit for a stay -- and the Obama administration will.

I'm including the text of Judge Phillips' decision, but this is the bottom line:

None of the factors the Court weighs in considering whether to enter a stay favors granting a stay here. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Defendants' Application for a Stay.

1. log cabin bigots getting credit for pointing fingers and claiming

someone else is "discriminatory"?

what a frickin sick twisted farce.

2. they're the ones who are standing up for civil rights here

If the executive and legislative branches hadn't dropped the ball on DADT, you wouldn't have to be confronted with this "farce".

4. they are standing up for themselves, personally, exclusively, as

they always do. privileged enough to afford - mentally and fiscally - to be repukes.

big-fish-in-small-pond tokens.

megalomaniacs.

6. Pretty sick that we had to rely on THEM to do something our side wouldn't.

That's what's sick and twisted.

7. they have always been into incremental change, the very thing

so many here rage and curse others for being.

accepting it from them, even lionizing them, while slamming it from others is definitely inverted.

3. LCR's are...dare I say it...fierce advocates.
