Judge asks why Obama admin is seeking unusually tough charges against GetEqual DADT protesters, invokes MLK

A rather interesting day in court for the anti-"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" protesters who chained themselves to the White House fence last year. Federal Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola, we've just heard, was not at all pleased that the Obama administration is seeking much harsher charges against the LGBT protesters than what it usually sought against people who protest at the White House (which is a pretty regular occurrence). The judge then went on to invoke Martin Luther King. Joe has the story over at AMERICAblog Gay.

Wouldn't it be neat if the Obama administration were as zealous about prosecuting torture, or even just Scott Bloch.
