9th Circuit Court of Appeals reject challenge to Military's former DADT policy
A federal appeals court reversed the ruling of federal Judge Virginia Phillips that found the former Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy unconstitutional. With this ruling, DADT has survived all legal challenges. The federal courts have a history of deferring to the U.S. military and congress to set eligibility standards to serve. According to the attorney for the group that brought the suit, DADT can be reinstated at anytime as it does not specifically authorize open homosexual service. Their goal was to maintain the lower court ruling at a time when the Government was likely to drop their defense of the law and use the decision as a precedent to prevent a future administration from reviving the ban.

DOD: No to DOMA, Military Chaplains to perform Homosexual marriages on bases
In an outright refusal to follow the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, the Obama Administration has ordered the Department of Defense to authorize military chaplains to perform homosexual marriages on military bases where these "marriages" are legal. As the military is covered by federal law, it is just another example of how the President views the power of the executive branch. Instead of upholding his oath to uphold and enforce the constitution and federal law, he has decided to act unilaterally as the judicial branch when determining what laws are constitutional and or which laws he will defend and will decide what laws to reject without regard to the intent of the legislative branch.

DADT policy ends Tuesday, cultural war on Military to begin
Tomorrow will end the 200 year old ban on open homosexuality in the military. Publically declaring and reveling in one's sexual proclivity will no longer result in a discharge but will be forced upon the ranks by today's armed forces. Without missing a beat, the advocates of social engineering are demanding marriage benefits, quotas, sexual diversity training and regulations to equate sexual conduct with race and religion. What a sad day for our nation and those who fight for our freedom.

Told you so, DADT Repeal = Push for Gay marriage
In a blatant attempt to force Gay marriage on America by the Executive Branch, the President has authorized the Navy to allow Navy Chaplains to officiate at Gay marriages on military bases. Building on his unilateral refusal to enforce the nation's federal laws, the President who at first claimed that the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional based on his opinion has now decided to go beyond his decision not to defend the law but now refuse to enforce it. If the President has the power to disregard federal law, where does it end. Its time for Congress to intervene and hold the President accountable to his oath of office. If left unchecked, the United States Constitution with it's Separation of Powers will no longer have the ultimate authority. It shall rest with a tyrannical extremist who's battle cry is any means necessary, damn the constitution. Our liberty hangs in the balance by the thread of law and its underpinning, our Constitution. It's time for Congress to check the Executive branch and put an end to the thuggary of Barack Obama.

DADT Repeal Opens Pandora's Box
Obama announces focused effort to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)ABC News' Jake Tapper asks President if homosexuals can be allowed to fight and die for their country, why can't they get married?
"I have been struck -- let me take the former -- repealing DOMA, getting [the Employment Non-Discrimination Act] done, those are things that should be done. I think those are natural next steps legislatively." President Obama
If he can't get it through congress; "As I said before, I have a whole bunch of really smart lawyers who are looking at a whole range of options. My preference wherever possible is to get things done legislatively because I think it -- it gains a legitimacy, even among people who don't like the change, that is valuable."

"Our armed forces should take heart, because the American people
will not turn its back on you. This vote happened because
opportunistic Senators – only days before Christmas – put political
interest groups above supporting our men and women in uniform." "This action will be overturned in the next
Congress because it breaks the bond of trust that must exist between
the military and those who command in the Pentagon and Congress.
Today’s vote will prove as costly to its proponents as ObamaCare was
to its advocates. We promise a full mobilization of faith-based and
policy organizations, veterans, and military families in the states
of every Senator who voted for repeal of DADT against the advice of
our service chiefs and during a time of war. Those Senators – and
the Pentagon leaders responsible for this breach of trust – should
understand that they will be the object of concerted political
action against them." The Freedom Federation is a federation of multiracial,
multiethnic, and multigenerational faith-based and policy leaders
and organizations representing 40 million people. The Freedom
Federation is not a separate organization. It is a federation of
organizations with large and unique constituencies that share common
core values. December 18, 2010

Joint Chiefs oppose repeal of Don't ask, don't tell
Earlier this year, the Pentagon agreed to conduct a study on the repeal of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy which bans open homosexuality. The review which is due to be completed by December was prompted by pressure from homosexual rights activists and President Obama who has promised to repeal the Clinton era policy. Under the current military code of justice, homosexuality is deemed incompatible with military service and is grounds for discharge. During the Clinton administration, President Clinton pushed to allow open homosexuality in the military which resulted in a compromise policy which allows homosexuals to serve as long as they keep their sexuality discreet and which bars the military from asking about one's sexual preference. Due to shifting political winds and a possible loss of one or both houses of Congress, Democratic leaders are trying to force a repeal bill through which would allow open homosexuality as long as the President, the Defense Secretary and the Chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff certify that the change will not affect military readiness and unit cohesiveness.
for the storyThe Nassau County Civic Association opposes any repeal on two grounds; the change would affect military readiness and unit cohesiveness due to the consequences of the change and second, the current policy is supported by a overwhelming majority of those affected; active service members and veterans.
