Congress + President > federal courts.
A Joint Resolution signed by the President should do it.

The 2010 Defense of U.S. Military Integrity Act

Section I
The federal courts shall have no authority or jurisdiction to hear or issue rulings on matters pertaining

(A) to the U.S. military policy known as 'don't ask, don't tell' (i.e. DADT); or

(B) to homosexual conduct in the U.S. military generally and all disciplinary action resulting therefrom.

Section II
All actions, decisions, orders, or rulings issued by the federal courts prior to the passage of this Act that qualify under Section (I)(A) or (I)(B) are hereby abrogated and of no force or effect.

Section III
Congress shall have the power to amend, clarify, extend, or qualify this Act through legislation.

Judge orders military to stop enforcing 'don't ask, don't tell'

(CNN) -- A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the U.S. military to stop enforcing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, effectively ending the ban on openly gay troops.

U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips' permanent injunction orders the military "immediately to suspend and discontinue any investigation, or discharge, separation, or other proceeding, that may have been commenced" under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

The judge, a Clinton appointee based in the Central District of California, previously ruled that the policy regarding gays serving in the military violated service members' Fifth Amendment rights to due process and freedom of speech, but had delayed issuing the injunction.

All the President has to do is order the military to ignore it. The President is given exclusive authority in the Constitution as Commander in Chief and the courts have no power in these matters.  There are very specific reasons why the President alone gets to set policy pertaining to regulations to maintain good order and discipline in the ranks. More over congress should impeach this judge for violating the Constitution he swore to protect in the oath of office he took.

Another tyrant judge.
Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Happiness are fundamental rights for all (including males), & not contingent on gender feminist approval or denial. Consider my "Independence" from all tyrannical gender feminist ideology "Declared" - Here & Now!

Any judge can say what ever he likes ....they can issue judgments etc et al.....Judges do not have jurisdiction over the DOD.
Imagine waking up tomorrow to find
that unbelievably rape is now legal.

You would be freaking out, telling everyone you ran into this is crazy- something needs to be done... now!!! And then every man you told this to just very smugly and condescendingly says...

"Hey... not all men are 'like that.'"

The more grievance groups use the courts to shove their morality down people's throats, the less respect I have for them as a whole or as individuals.

You would be surprised;  such people are very insecure and ill at ease with themselves and expend a great investment in effort in either seeking approval, or policing others for correctness of thought.

Here's what my brother (Army Staff Sergeant, 9 years) had to say about DADT yesterday . . .

"I feel that the problem is bigger than people think it is. Society has somewhat 'accepted' homosexuals yet military institutions haven't. Yes there are gays in the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force . . . however they are in the closet. Most military training facilities aren't exactly 'private'. Prime example: Currently I'm at PTA. The showers here are definitely wide open. There is a person next to you and across from you. How would you feel if you had to shower across from someone you knew was openly gay . . . there would be fights upon fights. The military isn't ready for homosexuals, PERIOD. On another note, everyone who is against torturing should watch the movie Unthinkable with Samuel L. Jackson. Great movie . . . Best movie I've seen in a while. Check it out."
