13. Other courts have not found DADT to be unconstitutional.
The Executive doesn't resolve circuit splits....SCOTUS does. So this will go up the chain---


and no fear, because look how the Admin 'defended' this one:



Finally, it again must be noted that Defendants called no witnesses, put
on no affirmative case, and only entered into evidence the legislative history
of the Act. This evidence, discussed in Section IV(C)(1) above, does not
suffice to show the Act's restrictions on speech are "no more than is
reasonably necessary" to achieve the goals of military readiness and unit
cohesion. (See supra Section IV(C)(1).)

Now, if President Palin found fundy district court judge who overturned Health Care, should her administration quit at the lowest federal level, because she got the ruling she wanted? or is she obligated to uphold the laws of Congress?
