As USAF Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach is facing imminent discharge under DADT, the Palm Center has released a new report that shows that his discharge would be in violation of a 9th Circuit Court decision. In Witt v. Department of the Air Force, Maj. Margaret Witt challenged the policy, and the court held that the Pentagon must show that a servicemember undermined his or her unit if that individual is to be discharged under “don’t ask, don’t tell.” The Obama administration declined to appeal, and this decision is binding on the Western states covered by the 9th Circuit - including Idaho, where Fehrenbach served.
