Yesterday the U.S. Supreme court made the unfortunate decision to refuse to hear a case involving the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy, thus letting the policy remain in place.The New York Times examines the court's refusal to hear the DADT case today. The Times reports:

"Without comment, the nation's highest court denied a review of an appeal from former Army Capt. James Pietrangelo II, who was in the Vermont National Guard when he was discharged in 2004."
''I think this decision is an absolute travesty of justice and I think every judge on this court should be ashamed of themselves,'' said Pietrangelo, who served six years in the Army, seven years in the Vermont National Guard and fought in Iraq in 1991. 'It's nothing short of rubber stamping legalized discrimination.'"
''The Supreme Court is not infallible, they get things wrong, and they got it wrong this time,'' added Pietrangelo, who now lives in Ohio."
