Here is no surprise. The Supreme Court voted Friday to keep to the “DADT” intact, rejecting a request by the Log Cabin Republicans to reinstate an injunction on the policy pending appeal. They took their appeal directly to Justice Kennedy, one of the most conservative judges on the bench. Frankly, the whole thing is strange. I understand the lawsuit, but I question their motives. In the past LCR has supported candidates and platforms that work against LGBT rights, why the change of heart? Perhaps they are as frustrated as I am with the administration. Their suit did get a favorable ruling, but a stay was all but certain.
Taking these issues to a Supreme Court as ideologically stacked as the Bush Era court is will make legal redress for LGBT issues next to impossible. Things might get better if a couple of justices, like Thomas or Kennedy would retire, but don't count on it.
