law school is going great; i couldn't be happier, actually. however, this post is not about school because i have found that my sanity means having some separation of thoughts between school and not-school, lol. so i'm going to write about my frustrations with president obama/the dems vis-a-vis the recently (as in like 2 hours) announced ruling

Did you read the decision? The defence's case was a joke, presumably because of pressure on the DOJ to lose this one.

i actually did read the opinion (one of the cool things about the bare minimum of knowledge i've gained so far is that i actually understood a lot of the procedural stuff in there as well as the meat and potatoes stuff), and i guess i am a bit thrown off by how slack the gov'ts defense was. they were basically just kind of saying "sigh, this shit's already been shot down. see: here, here, and here. now let's hit happy hour."

i wonder how it will all play out as it works its way up the chain. in a not so unrelated bit of news, we have the JAG recruiters coming to my law school on monday and tues, so the gay law group i'm in always does a bake-sale protest/info table that is enormously popular (i guess they think we're all culinarily inclined?) the proceeds go to the local AIDS walk, so it's kind of a win-win for everybody. i always think about you, btw, on issues of DADT. you're my face for the issue, so to speak.
