The government would have to hold opposing positions at once. Unfortunately, this is the way policy change works in our now-bureaucratic system.

That could have ripple effects for decades to come. Not to mention possible lawsuits for damages. I hope the court throws the book at DADT! I hope all the “Victims” of DADT have their day in court and win a hefty judgment!
