US judge orders 'don't ask, don't tell' injunction

None

A federal judge has issued a nationwide injunction stopping enforcement of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, ending the military's 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops.

 

US District Judge Virginia Phillips' landmark ruling on Tuesday was widely cheered by gay rights organizations that credited her with getting accomplished what President Obama and Washington politics could not.
