NASW’s efforts to repeal the U.S. military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) policy reached a conclusion on Thursday when Federal District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips ruled the policy to be unconstitutional.
Judge Phillips accepted the arguments of the plaintiffs: that due process rights were being denied under the Fifth Amendment, and that the First Amendment’s right to freedom of expression was chilled by DADT as well.
