RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A federal judge is expected to rule Tuesday on a government request to delay her order
halting the military from enforcing its ban on openly gay troops, and has said she'll likely deny it.
Phillips said the government has not proven that her order would harm troops or
in any way impede efforts to implement new regulations for the military to deal with openly gay service members.

"The farther the decision gets from the presentation of evidence in the trial court,
the more likely it is that courts will assume the military must have some critically important interest at stake,"
said Diane Mazur, a law professor who opposes the policy.
