Court Rules DADT Unconstitutional

Good, even if a higher Court is likely to stay the order pending an appeal.

Of course, the appropriate course here is for the DOJ not to appeal the ruling. Particularly given that the policy’s persistence owes itself to the Senate’s anachronistic, countermajoritarian rules this case should be an obvious exception to the general rule that the federal government will defend its laws in court. I’m sure Obama won’t do this, but he should.
