Judge Orders Injunction Stopping 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
A federal judge ordered the government on Tuesday to stop
enforcing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, ending the
military's 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops.
U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips's ruling was widely
cheered by gay rights organizations.
Department of Justice attorneys have 60 days to appeal. Legal
experts say the department is under no legal obligation to do
so and could let Judge Phillips's ruling stand.
