The U.S. government moved Oct. 14 to block a Riverside, Calif., federal judge’s worldwide injunction issued two days earlier that bars the government from mak- ing any further use of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military gay ban. Justice Department lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips to sus- pend the injunction while the government appeals it, saying her mandated, im- mediate, universal end to DADT was imprudent and could harm the U.S. military. As of this writing, Phillips had not responded to the stay request, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell remains unenforceable worldwide. In issuing her injunction, Phillips said DADT violates servicemembers’ and pro- spective servicemembers’ Fifth Amendment due-process rights and First Amend- TREVOR PROJECT Beyondmedia held its “Taste of Ten” last week to mark its PAGE 9 ment rights to free speech and to petition for redress of grievances.
