Late yesterday the federal judge in the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell case refused to issue a stay requested by the Obama Administration on her injunction to stop enforcement of the discriminatory policy. The Obama Administration is expected to pursue yet another appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force issued this response to the ruling:

"Judge Phillips again rejected the government's bunk that it's necessary this discriminatory policy remain in effect any longer. She and the overwhelming majority of Americans have rightly concluded it's time to make 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' a policy of the past. Our elected officials have diddled around and played the delay game as the careers of thousands of courageous, patriotic service members have been destroyed. Phillips said enough is enough, and we couldn't agree more.” (via JoeMyGod)
