Air Force DADT Enforcement Has Stopped, According To Official's E-Mail

From Rachel Maddow's program last night:



== Aaron Belkin, an expert on the issue at UC Santa Barbara told the New York Times that, “Unless the president declines to appeal the ruling in Log Cabin Republicans versus the United States, the ‘Don‘t Ask, Don‘t Tell‘ policy probably will remain law for years.”



Unless you believe the US. Senate is going to do the right thing by gay people. This year, with JohnMcCain still there & a slate of homoph0b!c Republican Senate candidates poised to enter. Unless you believe that the US Senate after this year‘s elections is going to do the right thing by gay service members, then the decision by the ObamaAdministration, whether or not to appeal this ruling, is likely a decision between killing this policy now & letting it survive probably forever.



Obama's DoJ appealing this ruling was not an inevitability. The administration is not obligated to appeal. If the administration believes the law is unconstitutional, there's precedent that supports the administration not appealing it & letting the law die.



An orderly time frame for the death of a law can be arranged with the court. That's the way it is. A plan that has no chance of becoming reality is not a real plan no matter how much you say it is. You can either end it or you can stop saying you will.==
