President Trump’s ban on mentally ill transgender pretenders from the military is being ruled ‘unconstitutional’ today by the DC Appeals court, with them suggesting Trump is targeting a ‘politically unpopular group’.
The caveat here is that this ruling only applies to those who sued, and doesn’t prevent Trump from continuing his ban.
Here’s the news from ABC News:
A federal appeals court on Monday concluded that the Trump administration’s transgender military ban is likely unconstitutional and “appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group.”
In a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s decision blocking the Department of Defense from removing current servicemembers because of their gender dysphoria.
The decision only applies to the service members who sued the administration and does not bar the Pentagon from blocking transgender people from joining the military.
I don’t know who the judges are, but you can bet your britches that the 2 are either Clinton, Obama or Biden – with an outside chance they are Bush Jr.
Regardless, this should be appealed to the Supreme Court at this point, and they are likely to overturn this ridiculous ruling.
