Well, the oath Obama took
is the basis for what is happening now.
There is a pretty good editorial in the
NY Times today about this business,
and another possible route the CIC could possibly take.
But there does seem to be unanimity among the legal dogs
that since DADT is in a law passed by Congrees, it is not like the integration
of Blacks and women in the services to be voided by executive order.
At least that is how I understand and accept what is going on now.
