From my brief look into it, the supreme court has not upheld it as it wasn't directly challenged. What was challenged was whether or not the governement could withhold funding from universities if they refused access to recruiters based on DADT. However, the recent court ruling is a direct challenge to it... Am I wrong in this? Never looked into its history before.
