This is hugely significant.
It's been almost 48 hours since a federal judge threw out DADT. It is no longer the law of the land. The judge specifically ordered the Obama administration to stop investigating, discharging and turning away gay service members.
In response, what did the Obama administration do when a gay vet went to a recruiting station to re-enlist? They turned him away because he's gay.
That is a direct violation of a judge's order. It's breaking the law.
Why does this matter? Because up until now the President has been telling us that he can't stop the discharges without congressional action because then he wouldn't be upholding the law, and he must uphold the law, regardless how onerous, lest he be as bad as George Bush who broke lots of laws.
So to be clear, the President upholds the law of the land on DADT when it hurts gays, and he violates the law of the land on DADT when it helps gays. The only thing consistent in the President's actions is that he always seems to take the position that's anti-gay.
