Via Mr. Charles P. Pierce, official DoD statement from Secretary Hagel:
The Department of Defense welcomes the Supreme Court?s decision today on the Defense of Marriage Act. The department will immediately begin the process of implementing the Supreme Court?s decision in consultation with the Department of Justice and other executive branch agencies. The Department of Defense intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses ? regardless of sexual orientation ? as soon as possible. That is now the law and it is the right thing to do?
Pierce adds, ?It really matters that this Secretary Of Defense started out in the military as an infantry grunt. I truly believe that.?

What?s on the agenda for the evening, as we catch our breath between bouts?
