A federal court in Washington has blocked President Trump from reversing a policy put in place by President Obama that would allow transgender troops to serve openly.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued her ruling Monday.

Who in the hell is the Comander in Chief, a duly elected President or an unelected judge?

This one Trump needs to ignore as he will win on appeal.

There's gotta be a way to start yanking judges who's rulings grossly exceed their authority.

Roy Moore: Impeach judge blocking transgender military ban

By Olivia Beavers - 10/31/17 11:02 AM EDT 

Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore is calling for the impeachment of the federal judge who partially blocked President Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military.

“The decision of a federal judge in the District of Columbia enjoining President Trump’s executive order on transgenderism in the military is absolutely ridiculous and is a perfect example of the outlandish doctrine of judicial supremacy whereby judges exalt themselves over the Constitution they are sworn to uphold," Moore, a former state Supreme Court chief justice, said in a statement on Monday.

Impeaching would do nothing takes two thirds of senate to convict.

Why were these strange, confused people ever allowed in the military ... and why would they even want to be in the military?

I'm with Moore on this but exactly how do we get rid of crazy, overreaching judges?  It's probably not easy.

It was a way for Obama to get them taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgery.

Yes! Bammy's evil has far reaching goals. He did so much damage.

[Free Vulcan]

The court has zero jurisdiction over the military.

Well, of course, gender reassignment surgery is a medical necessity and should be paid for by someone other than the confused patient.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

41% of transgenders attempt suicide.

Put aside every other political aspect of the issue and this one fact alone disqualifies them from military service.

At 41% they pose an active and unacceptable danger to those around them.

They compromise military readiness, and by extension degrade national security.

The ruling does not compel the military to pay for gender reassignment surgery. 

This is more or less SOP for a lower court addressing a case where the change will impact those currently serving, thereby jeopardizing their careers.  It keeps the status quo in place pending a decision on the merits.   While the judge presumably believes that the plaintiffs have a better than even chance of prevailing, the government's burden - to show that the change in policy is justified for military reasons - shouldn't be impossible to overcome.

Elect a Republican,  er,  I mean a Conservative Senate.   Then they can be impeached.

What part of the Constitution, pertains to the military, and to transgender rights (or any other special rights in the military)?

In this, won't it be taken to the next higher court for appeal?

And at some level of court consideration, wouldn't it be right to consider the mission of our military, above social agendas?

And to consider if transgender is mental illness? And whether our military is a social agenda experiment?

And to consider if it is wise to allow the military to house an employ people that are 41% likely to attempt suicide?

I don't disagree,  but the intent of the order is to preserve the status quo while all of that is hashed out.  Again, it's pretty much SOP.     

[Right_in_Virginia]

Does a civilian court have authority over anything to do with the military?

I'm certain it will be.

It's more of the left gumming up the works with obstruction after obstruction.

We've already had 3 Judge/Courts obstruct Trump's completely 100% legal and clearly within his Executive Authority by Statute travel/immigration bans.

Judge Moore is EXACTLY correct!  And until congress starts to actually exercise it's powers in this area the courts will continue to run wild!

There is a remedy!  The problem is that our feckless congress REFUSES to do it's job in these matters!
