It’s becoming more clear that President Donald Trump is not really in charge of the Executive Branch. It’s federal judges who are in charge, even of the military.
In the latest decision, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes wrote that the Pentagon cannot enforce Trump’s order banning transgender people from serving in the military, saying it discriminates on the basis of sex.
After Trump signed the Jan. 27 executive order, six service members and two transgenders seeking to enlist in the military sued, saying it was a violation of their constitutional rights.
Trump’s order said that transgenders do not “satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service” because they threaten the lethality of the armed forces and undermine unit cohesion, an argument long used to keep marginalized communities from serving.
“The Court knows that this opinion will lead to heated public debate and appeals,” Reyes wrote. “In a healthy democracy, both are positive outcomes.”
“The cruel irony is that thousands of transgender servicemembers have sacrificed — some risking their lives — to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them,” Reyes wrote.
As of early March 2025, at least 15 to 24 judicial blocks had been imposed on Trump’s executive actions. This number is includes everything from injunctions on policies like birthright citizenship (blocked by four judges), federal funding pauses (blocked by two judges), and transgender healthcare restrictions (blocked by judges). However, some orders were upheld, others overturned, and most are under appeal and will land in the Supreme Court eventually.
Transgender individuals require ongoing medical attention to help them retain their cross-sex appearance and functionality. Some military experts say that makes them unsuitable for deployment into battle zones.
Let’s have a real headline, “Judges Continue to Rule in Favor the US Constitution!”
Which article of the constitution states that the military has to accept transgenders?
Coddling a mental illness is constitutionally protected ?
wrong
“Thousands”?!? Why does that sound hard to believe? And why would the military want to enlist or commission individuals with known ongoing mental and physical health issues that require regular maintenance?
I recall a time when simply not being able to identify specific colors would prevent entry and nowadays the only color these trannys can see are rainbow and pink/blue pastel so how does that pass muster?
Perhaps you recall a time when a soldier also had to have a high school diploma (or GED) and could not have visible tattoos or a criminal felony conviction. You may also recall a time when women couldn’t serve and soldiers were segregated by the color of their skin. You may in fact want to take your recollection and make it the current law of the land. It sounds like you would also like to ban people with ADHD, diabetes, colorblindness, depression, and a list of other ailments that soldiers and citizens work to control or treat.
It’s estimated that their are approximately 15,500 transgender military personnel (active duty, reserves, and civilians) out of approximately 2.86 million personnel (or approximately 0.5%).
You may want to research because people diagnosis with diabetes and depression are barred from entering the military.
Painful “truth” you also might want to look into the physical and mental drawbacks that all Transgender people come with. Not one of them is combat ready at all. Every single member of the military needs to be combat ready.
Please just stop while you’re behind.
Some military experts say that makes them unsuitable for deployment into battle zones. Others say that they would lay down their lives for their fellow soldiers and for their Country.
Seems as though the author inadvertently hit the backspace…
That’s just you, Dog.
Every single Transgender person is not mentally or physically capable to be combat ready.. ever.
Oh stop your whining. Given that Trump has a SCOTUS majority, he’ll probably get his way eventually. But until then he will need to make his case that the action is Constitutional and legal. Trump is not a King, even though he thinks he is.
The resistance is growing strength, and the Blitzkrieg is starting to stall.
What makes you think that just because the Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Trump that they will blindly agree with anything he does? Then again… a lot of 0bama and Biden appointed judges are totally devoted to the progressive agenda.
.
Of course, there is a difference between leftists and adults… errr… I mean conservatives. The leftists let their feelz determine their rulings, whereas the conservatives let the law rule.
Dog, When are you going to admit you’re always wrong?
SD– Are some words missing here? “Trump’s order said that transgenders “satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service” because they threaten the lethality of the armed forces and undermine unit cohesion, an argument long used to keep marginalized communities from serving.”
The executive rules the executive under Article 2. If the judiciary wants some of those powers they and their army can come get it.
It is time for the Administration to take their case to the American people and end this foolishness.
Well maybe it is time to judge shop and have them making rulings countering all those injunctions. Two can play that game and it will be immediately obvious that federal judges are overreaching by applying their rulings nation wide ( in usurpation of executive power) instead of to the case and the litigants before them.
From what I have read, transgenders for the most part perform well in the military and are dedicated to serve.
The $20,000 cost for surgery is a good bargain, if you get a good soldier
No matter the cost of elective mutilation,
Be it 5,000 or 5,000,000 dollars. The individual is and always will be the same gender as when birthed by their mothers ( which happen to all be women). Should someone with anorexia be coddled and “affirmed “
So you are in support of buying cannon fodder?
Using your logic every non transgender deserves a $20,000 signing bonus plus a long paid vacation while their nuts aren’t healing up?
They’re non deployable. Try again frank.
Nope, liar. Trannies are overwhelming exempted from overseas deployment because of their mental illnesses.
US Military will still need conservative southerners to do the work – especially when Pelosi warhawks are itching to send them to fight in Ukraine. End goal being, of course, that they can’t vote for Trump or have children if they get killed fighting in a pointless proxy war. People underestimate how evil and degenerate Democrats have become.
Oh “frank”…
If, big if, what you’re reading is accurate they can continue to serve as the gender they were born.
Not the one they want to be.
They are non deployable which makes them useless to the Armed Services main Goal Fight and Win a War against foreign adversaries. Why should me daughter have to pick up the slack for their mental incapacity.
The military and the VA does not pay for the surgery change. They pay for the medical (change over drugs etc…and counseling) services but not the surgery itself. but they are not deployable in most cases, because of the countries we have been sending our troops to are mainly Islamic, which would rather kill them as to have them in their country. In other countries, depending on where they’d go, may not accept them.
From what I read, transgenders have a disruptive effect on the military, and they are reducing our ability to keep America safe.
So… who’s source of information is correct?
Frank, I have been informed that without transitioning, the gender confused had a high likelihood of committing suicide. Nobody with such unstable mental and emotional well being should be in the military where they will have to witness the worst horrors known to man. If they could not accept who they were, they will certainly not be able to deal with PTSD that comes with service.
Only the best, only the strong. Diversity is not a strength, it simply a tool of division. It is IN THE NAME!
They can pay the $20,000 out of their own pocket. And your “studies” are wrong; not one single transgender person is mentally or physically capable of serving .. ever.
Trump needs to ignore these piddling, communist federal judges. What are they going to do? Send their court bailiff to the White House to arrest Trump? Bring it on. These judges weren’t elected by ANYBODY. They hate Trump and are just as psychotic and affected by TDS as are many Democrats. Defy the judges!!!!! End of discussion.
Exactly! He needs to just continue without their voice obviously these Judges are part of the problem and they ALL need to be purged!
It’s hard to hold a rifle with a limp wrist.
These activist judges are delegitimizing the judicial branch.
I think it’s time to ignore them.
Disqualified on basis of mental illness. Simple as that.
These judges are deliberately exceeding their authority to see what they can get away with.
All that comes of this is an eventual and harsh backlash against the judiciary.
Either Roberts steps up to solve his problem or congress will. And he won’t like that solution. Should he continue to defend the black-robed lawfare practitioners, he will reap the whirlwind he is sowing. Cheers –
This is one of those moments where we must reflect on the impotent nature of the Republican Party and Libertarians. They let the queers out of the closet, they drank the MLK coolaide, they took the AIPAC money and let the Jews run foreign policy and the MIC/intelligence, push censorship and open borders. They can’t even say publicly that they support a majority WASP America. Now the chickens come home to roost. What did anyone expect to happen? When third world freak show America repulses you be sure to thank the RHINOs.
If someone wants to change their gender, fine by me. Whatever. If a fully regendered trans person can prove they meet all the physical and mental requirements of the military, why not let them in? Just don’t ask me, as a taxpayer, to pay one red cent for any part of that regenderization.
MBitsko, you are ignoring the elephant in the room.
Transgender isn’t just cosmetic surgery, but a lifelong need for hormones injections, pills, mental health treatments etc. These individuals can not be deployed into war zones as there is usually limited or non-existent medical care which is deals with casualties not daily medication dispensing. There are many individuals with diabetes, asthma and other chronic condition, who are also not accepted into military service. If you want to be transgender fine, find another way to serve your country. I recently heard a gay man say that transgenders are men and women with a fetish, so why cater to that?
I think the truth serum test would apply here.
Give the judges a truth serum and ask them if their ruling is based on law, or on hatred of President Trump. Somehow, I do not think most of the lower level judges that are issuing these injunctions will say it was the law that pushed their decision. I need look no further than some of their “rulings.” Ignoring the Winter factors test when issuing a restraining order? The only people who would do that know their reasons for issuing a restraining order would fail that test.
I suppose we didn’t realize that all these federal judges had all this power to interfere with the executive branch or we could have nipped Bill Clinton’s “Dont’ ASK don’t TELL” in the butt right back then!!!
They don’t risk their lives. They are limited due to medical restrictions. THAT IS THE ISSUE! He’s either Command-in-Chief or not & if we allow one medically compromised group, how can we discriminate against people with asthma or schizophrenia? This is insane. It is a medical issue that affects readiness, period.
Transgenderism is a mental disorder. It cannot be forced on the populist as normal. Sorry it has come to this. A judge with a differing opinion is essentially unqualified for the position. Impeach the judge.
