Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

It's been over a week since the injunction started. There's been no DADT law for over seven days and the military is still functioning. Yesterday was a significant day in the arc of the DADT repeal effort. Judge Phillips denied the Obama administration's motion to stay the injunction. Also, the Pentagon told its recruiters that they must accept gay applicants. Dan Choi re-enlisted. Last night, Mike Signorile tweeted:

Dan Choi's reenlistment seems like the Berlin wall of #DADT. They can try to stop it but it's coming down.
It feels like that. The Obama administration has lost control of this issue. Expect the Department of Justice to seek a stay in the Ninth Circuit, probably today.

The President is holding a meeting with his full national security team on Afghanistan and Pakistan today. All the big players are there including Secretaries Gates and Clinton, Admiral Mullen and General Petraeus.

Later today, Obama is heading out on the campaign trail. He'll be in Oregon and Washington. He's spending the night in Seattle. Biden is starting his day in Reno, Nevada where he's doing an event for Harry Reid.

Only 13 days.
