Supreme Court allows Trump administration to enforce military's transgender ban

 | January 22, 2019 09:52 AM

The Trump administration can begin enforcing its policy restricting many transgender people from serving in the military while legal challenges proceed through the lower courts, the Supreme Court said Tuesday.

The court voted 5-4 to grant Justice Department requests to put on hold lower court orders that blocked the Trump administration from enforcing the transgender military ban nationwide.

The court split along ideological lines, with justices appointed by Democratic presidents voting to deny the Trump administration’s application to halt the lower court rulings — Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.

President Trump announced on Twitter in July 2017 that transgender troops would not be permitted to serve in the military in any capacity, and subsequently issued an order barring most transgender people from military service.

Good. We don't need the mentally ill in the military and we sure don't need to pay for their hormones and surgeries.

The article says RBG voted against so I wonder when this vote was taken.

Makes sense to me:

Doesn't it seem obvious that if a person thinks that their brain is in the wrong body that they shouldn't be trusted with weapons in a military unit? Someone who says their brain is in the wrong body is admitting they have a serious mental disorder. Seems  unfit for military.

It continues to amaze me that some people continue to think that a court has the power to prevent the president from doing something.  They do not have any such powers

One beep from her heart monitor for yes.

Two beeps for no.

Got it.

Amen, If it isn't mental illness being so confused you can't accept the gender you were born as I don't know what is.  We don't need our military to be a mental circus.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
