They raise an excellent point.
President Obama signed a certification in July of Congress' DADT repeal, and the repeal goes into effect after a 60-day waiting period. The president hailed the certification as the "final major step toward ending the discriminatory" policy.
But Dan Woods, a lawyer for the Log Cabin Republicans, will argue before a court of appeals today that the group's lawsuit should continue. If the appeals court doesn't affirm that DADT is unconstitutional, there's no guarantee it won't be reinstated, he argues.
"Several leading Republican presidential candidates have gone on record promising to 'repeal the repeal,'" Woods said in a statement. "The military could also bypass Congress and enact new regulations, and a new Congress could re-enact DADT."
