The Break For 9/9/10: District Judge Rules DADT Unconstitutional

This will certainly generate some reaction :
A federal judge in Southern California has declared the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips on Thursday granted a request for an injunction halting the government's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for gays in the military.

And get this:
Government lawyers argued Phillips lacked the authority to issue a nationwide injunction and the issue should be decided by Congress.

The injunction was sought by the Log Cabin Republicans, a 19,000-member group that includes current and former military members.
The Log Cabin Republicans are the largest group from the insane party to actually represent a common sense position, and that is the case here in their continued fight against DADT.

They are still mental fools of course, but they requested this injunction and got it.
