Fuck you, Obama, fuck you Democrats, fuck you, appellate court.

[Triple Zero]

I have to agree on the appellate court in this case.  Having a bunch of people come out of the closet in the military, only to have DADT upheld by SCOTUS, would be very bad for the plaintiffs.

Also, fuck Obama for making this necessary.

And you realize that if he doesn't take this to the SC, that the next 'Tea Party' President could?

Personally, I'd rather see it go to the top and either get kicked out and done with, or hope that Congress will repeal it before then.

Letting it sit, only means that the next administration could bring the mess back to the surface. I don't think Obama has a better option... unless it would have been pushing Congress to deal with this two years ago. Granted, he was trying to stop the country from entering a great depression, but I think Congress may be capable of dealing with more than one thing at once... though thats just a theory.

Optimist.

This is the "but Obama is really smart and during his campaign also really charismatic so he must have a big trick up his sleeve to make it all right within the next two years"-optimism, right?

What really pisses me off is that I saw him as yet another smarmy politican for months, but as the election got close and all the other sheep were running I though "Well, maybe! Wow, could it be a real politican that actually cares about ..."

Stupid Fucking Monkey Brain.
