61. Yes and if DADT were found unconstitutional in the SCOTUS
any future teabagger Congress with a Rethug President could pass another statute that avoids the problems.

Though I don't see the government interest in it, really do not. What's it to the military whether any member is gay or not, and why cut off any group when the military needs people? How can they make out even a rational basis?

The cases on women in the military might be instructive. But one can imagine, if sexist, some reasons for not having women in the military. But gay men - makes no sense.
