39. OK, let me try to defend this.

OK, say that DADT is a prisoner on death row. He's sentenced to death by lethal injection. Is the state supposed to just let him die or suffer if he has a heart attack or is wounded in a prison fight? No, they give him medical care, they revive him, even though they are going to eventually carry out the sentence of death.

That's what's going on here. The Obama Adminstration keeps reviving DADT so that they can carry out the sentence of death in the proper place: Congress. (or the Supreme Court, if they can get it that far.)

That's the best I've got. Yeah, it stinks, doesn't it? Reviving DADT on Spirit Day. Thanks, President Obama! :(
