A federal judge appears poised to block the Trump administration if the Department of Defense attempts to place limitations on or ban transgender service members.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes is still hearing arguments Tuesday in the case but signaled deep skepticism with the claim that transgender service members lessen the military's lethality or readiness.

"You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you agree with that?" Judge Reyes asked during a hearing this morning.

<snip>

With the DOD policy expected to be finalized over the coming week, Reyes said she would hold off on issuing an order but had largely made up her mind about the legality of the order, at one point remarking that "smarter people on the D.C. Circuit would have to tell me I'm wrong" about the policy. She added that the central premise of the executive order -- that only two genders exist -- is "not biologically correct."

Biden appointed judge of course, and one who wasn't even born in the US.

And the DC Circuit won't do anything. It is about as far left as the 9th. The Supreme Court will have to deal with it like everything else come from these leftist hack judges.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I wonder how the judge feels about the less than 1% valid reasons for an abortion? Can she block abortions since only 1% is not significant enough to warrant them?

How does a judge have any jurisdiction over the military and the chain of command orders? Would a judge be able to block a air strike ? Nope.

No. I most definitely do not agree with that statement. 1 mentally ill person can FUBAR a mission and get other soldiers killed.

Here's one thing that liberals just don't get.
Let's say she's right. Let's say that transgender don't hurt the military at all.

It's completely irrelevant to what she is supposed to be deciding. The judiciary job is not to second-guess the wisdom of what Congress or a president does. The judge is supposed to determine whether it is legal or not.


As for 9th circuit, it's not nearly as liberal as it once was. 10 Trump judges.

Every justice will say that these random federal judges have standing to stop action taken by the president.


The issue is which of the actions by the president the courts have the ability to stop, and how far that ability goes.


For example, Thomas has raised the issue of "nationwide" or "universal" injunctions. He believes that under the constitution, the judge can only enter an injunction as it applies to the parties in the case, not every person in the country.

So, in this case, the injunction would only apply to the six transgenders that filed the lawsuit (of course, Thomas would never enter in a junction in this case. I'm just using it as an example.)

Th DC circuit should be dismantled. These jurisdictions were created by Congress, not the Constitution, and the judges don't even believe in the Constitution. These courts are a threat to the Republic. They need to be dismantled to literally SAVE DEMOCRACY.

I love that I could not join the military because I take a once daily thyroid medicine.. but some some freak taking drugs to attempt to change the sex they are outwardly presenting and/or getting sex change surgery, was actively recruited by the Biden administration to join.

Mental illness should be an automatic disqualifier for military service…

Transgenderism is a mental illness…

I'm not arguing that these folks need to be locked in an asylum or that they should not be allowed to mutilate their own bodies, but military service only adds stress, and it's not good to be dealing with mental stresses only to add this on top of it…

And by all means, if you wanna go cut off your twig and berries, be my guest…as long as you are an adult and paying for it with your own money (not mine), feel free to mutilate away…

This is the argument

It's not their pronouns that's the issue

It's that our military doesn't accept anyone whose ability to be deployed is restricted by access to drugs be it thyroid, diabetes or in this case, hormones.

Dems want Trans to be a special protected class of soldier who can't be deployed and get their hormones and surgeries covered by the tax payer

That's completely unacceptable no matter how few of them there are

The solution is simple: if you are Trans and want to join the military you can not be on hormones, you will get no surgeries and you will wear the uniform and keep the grooming standards assigned to you by biological sex. You don't like it, then don't enlist because clearly the mission of killing people and breaking stuff is not for you if you can't sacrifice your need for your mental illness to be put first.

The Biden Pentagon even had to come out with a policy memo allowing these mental illness types to defer deployments for 300 days. That's what it's about. Combat effectiveness, mission readiness, and deployability. If you're mentally ill and/or hooked on getting hormone replacement therapy to play your pronoun game you're just not real likely to be deployable.

But I could never have been selected by Biden to be appointed to the ranks of morons 'he' put on the bench.

i would do whatever the democrats have done when a judge tried to slow down their agenda. whatever they did worked. if that means ignore than just ignore. if that means find another judge who will rule in your favor then do that. they sorted all least for years to employee their agenda why not do the same in dismantling it.

I'm not an attorney, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but with people like this judge, their religion of politics trumps logic. Every time.

This judge need to be removed, disbarred, and maybe learn to code.

It is obvious to me, this person is first of all, a liberal activist. Maybe somewhere secondary to that, she considers herself an attorney and judge. That does not make it so!. The problem is, control/correction of out of bounds judgements by this type of jurist is very slow and tedious.

Why only 5 stars for this post. This is the way. Just ignore them until they reach constitutional reality. The left has always used the court to abuse their power. That has to end. Ignore the F* out of them until it goes to the proper channels/court. These Aholes are just buying judges off AMAZON.
