A second federal court, this one the DC District, has ruled against USAID. Judge Emmet Sullivan issued a summary judgement in favor of DKT International, who challenged the anti-prostitution pledge requirement. See my earlier post on the Federal District Court in New York's ruling on the same issue.

What are the ramifications, Ed?
Rich-
Not much, really. The administration is still free to decide what organizations do and don't get aid for their AIDS outreach programs, they just can't force them to say something against prostitution in order to qualify for it.
I don't know if you're aware of it, but Brazil refused $40 million from USAID due to the anti-prostitution demand.
