U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips keeps the DADT injunction: “The public has an interest in military readiness, unit cohesion, and the preservation of fundamental constitutional rights.

Phillips similarly dismissed a Rolling Stone interview with President Obama, which the government also submitted, calling it “hearsay.”
Jeebus focking Christmas, the gummit’s lawyers submitted a RS interview as evidence? What’s next, trial by Wikipedia? What gaw-damn morans.
