A group of Senate Democrats have again asked the administration not to appeal a judge's ruling that Don't Ask, Don't Tell is unconstitutional and the military must stop enforcing it immediately and permanently.
Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder last month after U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips first announced that DADT violates the First and Fifth amendments. Now Udall and Gillibrand are back, with 19 other cosigners: Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Roland Burris (D-IL), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Bernard Sanders (I-VT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Al Franken (D-MN), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Ben Cardin (D-MD)... No R's at all.
