Title: Feds Move To Block 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Injunction

1. This article is about putting a hold on  injunction against enforcement of the military towards homosexual service members.

2.  The policy ("don't ask, don't tell"), against the gays,was voted unconstitutional because it went against gay and lesbian rights.

3. This article is about a U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips who ruled that the policy "don't ask, don't tell" policy unconstitutional. but because the government was still unsteady,  in Riverside, Calif., federal lawyers asked Phillips, to halt the effect of her own order until they can formally appeal the case to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. On Sept. 9, Phillips ruled that the policy, which completely blocks openly gay or lesbian people from becoming soldiers, violated their First Amendment and Fifth Amendment rights. But even through all that The house of Repesentives voted for a repeal, As well as the senate republicans blocking a vote on this topic.
Not to long after, Defense Secretary, Robert Gates ordered an intimidate end to the policy because to them it would lead to enormous consequences, as well as saying the decision should be left for congress to decide. They are hoping that by the end of December the policy will voluntary be ended.

4. I got this article from http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/10/14/feds-move-to-block-dont-ask-dont-tell-injunction/

5. I don't agree with this articles because i believe that gay men and woman should be able to serve their country and not be judged in any way. They are still human beings, just like everyone else in the military. Therefore it should give them an equal opportunity. " the don't ask, don't tell policy" in a way is wrong because it does violate their rights. Everyone should be treated the same, like I said before.

6.  This article has a lot to do with the world because if we look at society today gay and lesbian groups and people have more of a say. As well as are starting to get somewhat of more respect. They are like us, everyday average joes. We all are the people. Because we have a different taste when it comes to love or being with a person does not mean we are not protected by the U.S constitution. "We The People" means everybody, not just straight people.
