Gay Service Members Want Severance Pay
The Obama administration is fighting a lawsuit seeking severance pay for gay service members who were kicked out of the military under "don't ask, don't tell." The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a class action suit for 142 people who only got half-pay after their discharge because they are gay. But the Justice Department is asking the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to dismiss the case. Justice argued the defense secretary has sole power to decide who gets what separation pay and that the court cannot rewrite military regulations. However, the suit argues it is unconstitutional for the DoD to cut the amount for people discharged for homosexuality.
I told you ! The law suits have begun it was all about suing the military and depleting Americans tax dollars!
ReplyDelete...and so it begins. Gays got there freedom to serve openly and now the ones before cry "no-fair!"...so a lawsuit pops up. I think we saw this coming, because this seems to be America's recourse. If something happens in the past and changes in the future I am entitled to something. It's like slavery...it happened in the past, way before our time and now people seem to think they are owed something. It's because they want something for nothing. Get past it already...we live for the future. We are a doomed society!
ReplyDeleteThere used to be an anti gay sentiment in this country I think it may make a comeback.
