What's really frustrating about Squeakquel is the pedigree of some of the movie's perps.

The unusual order is only incidentally about gay rights - the judge sidestepped the constitutional question about gays entirely - and is instead a fiery defense of the rights of the judiciary to manage its own employees. But if the Administration chooses to fight the order, it will have to tread...
