A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.

In a scathing ruling, US District Judge Ana Reyes said the administration cannot enforce the ban — which was set to take effect later this month.

Reyes, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, wrote that the ban “is soaked in animus and dripping with pretext. Its language is unabashedly demeaning, its policy stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit, and its conclusions bear no relation to fact.”

“Defendants have not provided a legitimate reason for banning all transgender troops,” she wrote.

The judge said she was pausing her preliminary injunction until Friday morning to give the administration time to appeal it to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

When the Commander in Chief and his staff lay out readiness expectations and criteria, they are NOT subject to judicial review; it is a plenary power vested solely in the Office of the Presidency.

Oh? So must have really been pissed when SCOTUS blocked Biden's student loan forgiveness E.O! You see, no-cocks, in America there are 3 equal branches of government, the Judiciary being one of them. A president is not a king. But I guess they don't get Schoolhouse Rock where you live, eh, comrade?

The Swamp Creatures are not going to stand down, the success of the MAGA counter revolution is iffy.
 
Judges very often are part of the Mandarin Class that has decided that it manages the ignorant masses, who have no say.

They are not interested in the Constitution, they overtly dont follow it.

Biden was not in charge of much more than his ice cream flavor....the people who run America behind the scenes and without telling us because we are just We The People issued the required scripts and instructions....who the fuck are we to have ideas...who the fuck are we to decide who is in charge?
 
A Biden appointed judge produces an order, ruling from the bench on the basis of nothing. Her saying, "Defendants (the Trump administration) have not provided a legitimate reason for banning all transgender troops" is based on nothing. She has no legal reasoning backing her decision and hasn't provided what would be legitimate reasons for a ban.

Basically, she doesn't like what Trump's doing so she ruled against him. It gets worse. Reyes is an openly gay, LGBTPDQRSTUV+- whatever and political supporter of those movements. Her previous legal work included for the Feminist Majority Foundation and opposition to California prop 209 (gay marriage). She further has previously done pro bono work for illegal immigrants and on illegal immigration issues to support open borders.

In other words, she has a vested interest in this case and a clear position from the standpoint of a long work history that would oppose the Trump position on transgenders in the military. That means she should have recused herself as being unable to be impartial in this case. But as with the Left in general, she sees her being the judge on this case as an opportunity to further her personal political agenda.

Her political bias was sufficiently bad that she barely got confirmed to the bench (51-47) by the Senate in a party line vote.

That's where this case is at right now.

Trump has to prove that transgender soldiers are unfit. It does not matter what you think her agenda is.

This judge has no authority in the matter. Looks like another one that should be impeached, or at least ignored.

The judge has no authority to make such a ruling anyway.

No, he doesn't. Trump can simply use their higher level and sustained need for medical care above and beyond the average military member as justification. But proving they are unfit is relatively easy on that basis as they also require more mental health care.

The Defense Department treated 1,525 service members between July 1, 2016 and February 1, 2019, who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition of extreme distress from not identifying with one’s biological gender. Currently about 1,071 are serving, including 20 senior officers.

The military spent about $8 million on transgender care, including about $5.8 million on psychotherapy and about $2 million on surgeries mostly for breast reductions and hysterectomies. There were about 23,000 psychotherapy visits and about 160 surgeries.

Transgender care cost military less than 1 percent of its health budget since 2016

The military has spent about $8 million on transgender care since 2016 out of its $50 billion overall health care budget.
www.pbs.org www.pbs.org

Those are costs that otherwise would be ZERO if transgenders were not allowed to serve. That's a $16 million savings at a rate of about $4 to $5 million-a-year. That's a savings of about $4 to 5 thousand dollars a year per transgender service member versus not having that expense at all. Add in the fact that each transgender required about 20 psychotherapy sessions that would have had some impact on unit readiness, along with the surgeries having a big impact, it argues that the military doesn't need transgenders serving. Their miniscule numbers don't justify the added cost and complexity of having them serve.

Gender dysphoria is not a mental illness.

Good luck with that in court. The DSM won't help.

Wrong. The evidence Trumpy lawyers provided in court proved the opposite of their claims. Trump is not acting to make the military better, but to stir up the haters he has been fomenting. People like you fit into that group. The judge read what Trumpys provided and explained they proved the opposite, that trans were very good soldiers and wanted to serve their country.
