Chaplain groups: Court went too far in striking down ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

Brief filed by ADF attorneys asks 9th Circuit to reverse district judge, allow legislative, military scrutiny to continue

SAN FRANCISCO — Several chaplaincy groups are urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to reverse a district judge’s decision to strike down part of a federal military readiness law that prohibited openly practiced homosexual behavior.  The friend-of-the-court brief, filed by Alliance Defense Fund attorneys, explains that the actions of the previous, Democrat-controlled session of Congress regarding the law do not mean the district court was justified in attempting to dismantle it judicially.

Case Name:  Log Cabin Republicans v. United States of America
