Legislative branch (2)

Source: "Robert Gates changes 'don't ask' procedures." 10/21/10. Josh Gerstein. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/43994.html.
(2) "Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution." 12 October 2010.

Constitutional connection:
            "create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court..,make rules for the regulation of land and naval forces, provide for, arm, and discipline the militia." (2)

Explanation of connection:
         The "don't ask" policy is about not allowing gays,lesbians to not enter the military. People have been arguing about why why but why the discrimination against gay people.

         This article demonstrates the legislative branch of the United States Constitution. Because the legislative branch has the power to make laws that would come in advantage to us the people. In this article, the law about "don;t ask" is made to supposedly protect the people ion the military or make them feel more comfortable. This article had both views (the ones against it and the ones who agree with this law.

         I think that the law that the legislative branch came up with is unconstitutional because well one, it is discriminating a certain kind of people, something that should not be aloud to be made into law. Another thing I would like to say about this policy is that i disagree with it, because anyone can be what ever they want to be and people should respect that, not make policies that would banned those kind of people.   .
