The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with the Trump administration in lifting a lower court order that paused the Pentagon's transgender military ban from taking effect – allowing Trump's order and related policies to proceed, at least.

The high court ruling is a near-term victory for the White House, even as it did not address the underlying merits of the case or President Donald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order banning transgender service members from the U.S. military.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration's appeal and kept the lower court injunction in place.

At issue in the suit, Shilling v. United States, is Trump's executive order banning transgender military members.

The movement started by Obama was a terrible waste of taxpayer money, to fund the sex reassignment surgery for every person that wants it.  That surgery is elective surgery, and should never have been paid by the taxpayer.  Nothing but pure abuse of the taxpayer by Obama/Biden.  Something they were good at clearly.

We as a nation need to recognize transgender people as having a mental disorder, and not continue to allow anyone to continue to promote it as a life choice that is best for the individual concerned.  In children, it is abuse, and criminal and should be labeled as such.
