BREAKING: Federal judge orders US military to immediately stop enforcing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’
A federal judge ordered the US military to immediately stop enforcing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
Judge Virginia Phillips ordered the government “immediately to suspend and discontinue any investigation, or discharge, separation or other proceeding” and to stop enforcing the law, according to CNN.
In September, the judge found the policy to be unconstitutional.
The US Department of Justice attorneys have 60 days to appeal the ruling. MSNBC reports that “Legal experts say the government is under no legal obligation to do so and they could let Phillips’ ruling stand”
