SCOTUS Upholds DADT While Legal Challenges Continue

This was an expected decision, but still frustrating:
The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Friday to pause enforcement of the military's ban on openly gay and lesbian service members while that policy faces a legal challenge.

The high court sided against the Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP gay rights group, that had asked that discharges of gay and lesbian members of the armed forces under the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy be suspended.

The Obama administration had argued that the ban should be allowed to stay in place while litigation continues.
FIERCE ADVOCATE!!! Now to the right of (gay) Republicans on a basic civil rights issue.

There's a Democrat in the White House, right?
