21. you do understand that the statute repealing DADT
Edited on Sat Jul-16-11 07:21 PM by ruggerson
has no anti discrimination language in it anymore, so a future Repub Prez hellbent on reinstating the ban, or otherwise harming LGBT soldiers, could attempt to do so with an executive order as CIC?

And that a court decision finding DADT unconstitutional could help block that future Prez from going down that road?

There is a reason that Aubrey Sarvis of SLDN (who it's safe to say knows a bit more about this than you) is not happy that the administration, at this late date, is still seeking to overturn the stay.
