- Is White House’s inaction a step towards lifting military ban?
An order by a federal appeals court in San Francisco that directs the government to present a justification for the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”-based ouster of a lesbian decorated military officer will stand because the Obama White House opted to not appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision is being viewed by some activists as a positive step toward President Barack Obama upholding his campaign pledge to end the military ban. The Wall Street Journal (5/19)
