Another day, another federal court stuffed with activist judges who believe their rulings should be based on hurting President Donald Trump.
On Monday, a federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that portions of the Trump administration’s policy of not admitting trans people into military service were unlawful.
Oh, and contained “animus” or something.
BREAKING: In a 2-1 ruling, a federal appeals court finds the Trump administration policy to ban transgender individuals from serving in the US military is unconstitutional.
The court has ruled that the policy is unconstitutional and further stated that it “appears to be driven by the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group.” It also states that the policy advanced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is “arbitrary and based on animus.”
“The record shows that the purpose of the Hegseth Policy is to target applicants and servicemembers who express what the Administration believes is a ‘false gender identity,’ and the Policy goes far beyond disqualifying persons currently or recently suffering from gender dysphoria,” the decision says.
“Some of those disqualifications are completely unexplained and have no reasonable justification.”
Hows this for justification. The military has been working endlessly for years to stamp out sexual harrassment and assault. Now some bozo judges with TDS want to allowed gender confused people into the military?
Here’s more justification. Serving in the military is not a right, it’s a privilege that not everyone enjoys or should enjoy. What’s next – a court ruling that people with diabetes and heart disease should be allowed to serve? Or one that says the military’s physical standards ‘discriminate against overweight people’?
It’s absurd.
In any event, the appeals panel left Trump’s ban on enlisting new transgendered troops stand for now, so there’s that.
