Federal court rules against military gays policy

The military cannot automatically discharge people because they're gay, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday in the case of a decorated flight nurse who sued the Air Force over her dismissal.

The three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did not strike down the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But they reinstated Maj. Margaret Witt's lawsuit, saying the Air Force must prove that her dismissal furthered the military's goals of troop readiness and unit cohesion.

McCain rejects pastor's endorsement

McCain had resisted calls to repudiate Mr. Hagee for months. However, once it leaked yesterday that Hagee had said that God sent Adolf Hitler to help Jews reach the promised land, it was only a matter of time.

This is an issue that Olbermann has been following closely, so I would expect to see this at the top of the hour or, at the least, the #4 story of the evening (he counts down backwards).
