Do me a favor, read the difference between the ruling in Lawerence V Texas and Log Cabin V USA It's getting tiring to explain over and over again the huge differences. There are plenty of cases, and this is one of them, of rights getting more and more broadened out due to court cases. And yes.. civilian courts have forced changes in the military before.

Oh no! Did I disappoint you by continue to argue a point on an internet discussion board related to politics? My apologies!!! I am sorry that you are getting so tired of defending your point. Unfortunately though, sometimes when you go on a public forum and state your opinion as fact you will get called out on it. I understand that perhaps it is frustrating that you got caught this time when there's so many rampant transgressions all over the same discussion board. If it makes it any easier to accept, I singled out your comment initially because of a series of petty spelling errors. Feel free to dismiss my objections to your feeble argument as grounded in a childish annoyance at the use of the 'would of' construct.
That said, you are quite right that there is a huge difference between Lawrence Vs Texas and Log Cabin Vs USA. The first being a landmark decision by the Supreme Court, the second being a footnote in the story of the repeal of an unfortunate piece of legislation. You don't have to explain the difference, nor is it necessary to point out that the two cases are different. I know that they are, what I am not sure of though is if you realize the importance of the Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence vs Texas. Basically, it is widely accepted as being the legal precedence for almost all gay rights legislation, including the Log Cabin case which was filed as a direct consequence of the ruling. In fact, Lawrence Vs Texas is so groundbreaking that the full ramifications of the ruling are not yet known. For example it is not inconceivable that it will provide the precedence for legalizing gay marriage. By claiming that Log Cabin Vs USA would have set legal precedence relating to gay rights outside of what is already established by Lawrence Vs Texas you are going against most conventional understanding of what legal precedence means. Unless you can back that up with something substantial it remains a highly speculative claim.
Should you muster the strength to continue our exhausting discussion, I look forward to your reply. Rest assured that I will probably reply withing the fortnight should you choose the respond.
