“Once again,” stated the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins “an activist federal judge is using the military to advance a
liberal social agenda, disregarding the views of all four military
service chiefs and the constitutional role of Congress.” But not the views of the Commander in Chief, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

And that the Senate would have done the same had not Senate Republicans, in deference to the likes of Perkins, filibustered the bill. And that allowing gays to serve openly in the military is part of a liberal social agenda that Americans now support by a two-to-one margin.

Under the circumstances, the Justice Department would seem to have more than ample grounds for departing from its usual practice and letting the judge’s injunction stand unappealed.
