What's happening now in Russia is very similar to what happened leading up to the Holocaust (hence our concern). So now I'm curious, were the gays killed in the Holocaust the only ones not included in the genocide that happened?

That's not really true either. Obama never fought its repeal. The Obama Justice Department lawsuits never fought repeal, never argued DADT wasn't invidiously discriminatory, and never argued that DADT was constitutional. They sought to change the method of repeal from immediate repeal by the courts to a guided repeal process agreed to by congress, the executive, and the military.

Apart from the fact that you seem to have problems discerning between "enforce" and "defend" (hard concepts, I know), the lawsuit would have had much broader consequences.

Wrong, a judge ordered it be ceased in October 2010 after the Democratic lead Senate voted down the removal legislatively. It wasnt until December 2010 that Congress overturned it through the legislation.
An the legislative route was what the President had told he was working on. Of course, you're lying about the "Democratic lead (sic) Senate" voting down the bill - it would have been long passed if not for Senate Republicans filibustering.

You really need to stop letting your fears get the better of you. It's embarrassing.
