To be fair, they did for like 2-3 days before the Obama administration asked the courts for a stay.

Quote :

"“This filing is a shot across the bow as we prepare to pursue and sustain an aggressive far reaching litigation strategy if the Senate fails to act this month to repeal the law. This dispute can be resolved by Congress or by the courts. With this filing we put Congress on notice that a cadre of service members and our national legal team stand ready to litigate strategically around the country. The plaintiffs are three service members who want to serve their country again. They represent some of our best and brightest who were fired because of who they are, despite their decorated records. More than 14,000 have already lost their jobs and the investigations and discharges still continue. We are also preparing litigation on behalf of young people who would enter the armed forces to serve our country but for this terrible law. Another suit we’re working on involves clients discharged under ‘Don’t Ask’ who want to enter the reserves or a guard unit, and we plan to file such cases early next year if Congress fails to act. Clearly there is an urgent need for the Senate to act on legislation this week.”"

There is already the LCR case and the ACLU/WITT case, and now this case, and it looks like they are planning a lot more if DADT repeal keeps getting filibustered to the point that they can't get an up or down vote.

I personally don't understand the point of trying to re-enlist...but then again I don't see the point in enlisting in the first place.
