Supreme Court Ruling Retains Don't Ask, Don't Tell For Now
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial law prohibiting homosexuals from openly serving in the armed forces can remain in place while the government appeals a federal judge's decision striking down the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act.
Friday's ruling by the Supreme Court affirms the Ninth Circuit's decision to maintain the status quo while the government appeals the initial judgment invalidating the law.
The Obama Administration has defended the law in every court proceeding even though it has publically voiced its opposition to it and its desire to have Congress repeal the measure. It's unclear what impact the recent election results will have on that pursuit (Sources: Fox News, CNN)
As the Lord leads, please pray:
- For officials in the Pentagon whose regulations are being pushed to and fro while the debates continue.
- For the Congress who will deliberate and develop the law on the issue.
- For the military personnel and their families who are directly impacted by the ruling.
