    I don’t know if anyone else if following the Liverpool – Hicks & Gillett – Royal Bank of Scotland – John Henry saga being played out in courts in London and Dallas, but it’s amazing stuff.

    Here’s a good ongoing summary of today’s actions (so far).

    “Anybody should be able to serve, and they shouldn’t have to lie about who they are in order to serve,” Obama said.

    “But this isn’t a question about whether the policy will end,” he stated. “This policy will end, and it will end on my watch.”

    The Justice Department Thursday formally appealed a federal court ruling that struck down the government’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, requesting an emergency stay to block the judge’s injunction stopping enforcement of the policy.

    • mk Oct 14,2010 3:30 pm || Up

      1. The first block quote will almost certainly turn out to be accurate.

      2. The military is not a constituency he can just tell to pound salt. Bob Gates in particular is an important ally of the president’s in that he is uniquely insulated from GOP criticism (this manifests in various ways: he was helpful in suppressing apoplexy over Iraq withdrawal, he’s undertaken a reorientation of the DoD budget away from F-35’s and the like, etc.), and is running, depending on how you count, somewhere between 1 1/2 and 4 wars. And Gates is adamant that the Pentagon review precede repeal, no doubt because the bureacracy beneath him is adamant that they get their say.

      3. This, though I don’t know how stringent that “general requirement” is (nevermoor? other lawyer-type person?):

      The Justice Department is generally required to uphold existing law and is expected to appeal rulings even when the president might agree with them. But Walter Dellinger, who was solicitor general in the Clinton administration, said an appeal could make clear that the president believes the law is unconstitutional, an approach President Bill Clinton took in 1996 concerning a law that would have required the discharge of HIV-positive service members from the military.

      “I think this is the answer,” Dellinger said, noting that it would be politically untenable to allow a single district judge to set law for the country in a case that the Supreme Court has not heard. “Let the courts decide, but tell them what you think.”

      DOJ articulated a similar rationale with regard to the Defense of Marriage Act:

      Although Obama opposes the law, a Justice Department spokeswoman said that the administration was defending the statute because it was obligated to defend federal laws when challenged in court.

      “As a policy matter, the President has made clear that he believes DOMA is discriminatory and should be repealed,” said Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler. “The Justice Department is defending the statute, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged.”

      • nevermoor Oct 14,2010 4:05 pm || Up

        I don’t know about a legal requirement, but I can easily imagine a requirement in practice.

        Also, I know I got huffy about this a few days ago, but B-J I think makes the best point:

        Imagine it’s 2013 and a federal judge somewhere declares the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. Imagine further that a group of Senators ask President Palin not to appeal the ruling. If she instructed Attorney General Christine O’Donnell not to appeal the ruling, would that be OK?

    All football announcers should be required to wear a device capable of delivering an electric charge. And when they utter the four syllables which sound like “trickeration” they should be zapped with near-lethal force.

        OK, fine, I’ve switched over to the Reid/Angle “debate”. Listening to either of these two is painful.

          Is Angle talking about how the Federal Reserve, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderbergs engage in trickeration?

            She’s not talking “trickeration” but I’m going to have to go back and watch this with pen and paper and make a mark every time she says “Obamacare”. (She just got in a “Second Amendment Rights” as well.)

              If he doesn’t completely gut it, having it become known as Obamacare would be a pretty remarkable legacy.

                I thought Angle’s responses on health insurance (so we repeal Obamacare, then what?) were remarkably naive. She seems to think that opening up health insurance purchases across state lines will allow the free market to solve all these problems; consumers will be able to pick exactly the coverages they want and the consumers’ demands would supersede any need for government-mandated coverages. Buying health insurance in Angleville will be much like shopping for clothes; if you can’t find exactly what you want at Walmart, then Target probably has it, or if not then certainly Kohl’s.

                Aside from that I thought she did all right in staying away from the “too extreme” statements that Reid has warned us about in his advertising. She keeps a Moonie-ish, spacey smile on her face at all times. Harry, who’s a lousy public speaker, stuttered and stumbled a few times, referred to the “Department of Energy” when he was obviously talking about the Department of Education, and embarrassingly couldn’t find his notes for his closing statement. My sense is that Nevada voters are ready to send him out to pasture, and he’d be down by double digits if the Republicans hadn’t nominated such a wacko. It will be close but in the end I think the conservative side will be much more motivated to turn out on Election Day, and Angle wins going away.
