Wednesday President Obama and his attorneys have prolonged the injustice that is 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' at the expense of the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian servicemembers. For over eight days the armed forces have not only survived but thrived without the burden of this failed policy. It is disappointing the Obama administration has forced the military into a see-saw of 'on-again, off-again' enforcement of a law which remains an unnecessary distraction for military commanders and their subordinates.

While we are disappointed with the court's ruling granting a temporary administrative stay, we view the decision as nothing more than a minor setback. We didn't come this far to quit now, and we expect that once the Ninth Circuit has received and considered full briefing on the government's application for a stay, it will deny that application, and the district court's injunction, which it entered after hearing all the evidence in the case, will remain in place until the appeal is finally decided.
