Wash Post on Obama admin's reasoning for disobeying judge's order to provide benefits to lesbian

From the Washington Post, via AMERICAblog Gay:

With logic only a lawyer -- and perhaps only a government lawyer -- could love, the Obama administration is refusing to obey a federal judge's order that agrees with a position the administration supports.

Last month, Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, ordered the Office of Personnel Management to allow health insurance companies serving federal staffers to provide benefits for same-sex spouses of the court's workers.

But on Friday, the OPM told the attorney for Karen Golinski, a court employee, that the agency would not obey the judge's order.

What would George Bush have done? The exact same thing.
