SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The Log Cabin Republican Club has filed a brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court challenging the Obama administration’s hold on repealing “Don’t Tell, Don’t Tell”. The Defense Department is holding off the implementation of the end of the ban on gays serving in the military until the Pentagon completes preparations and troop training.

The brief, filed by the Log Cabin Club, referred to the hold as “absurd” and feels the policy should be dropped immediately. The brief claims that Congress, which voted to repeal DADT last December, doesn’t have the constitutionality to allow the law to stay in effect while the Pentagon claims they are certifying that the change in the law won’t damage combat readiness.

According to the brief filed with the court by the Log Cabin Republicans, “Even though a judge found this to be unconstitutional and the administration is not disagreeing with that, they are still investigating and able to discharge people.”
