BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court allows Trump's anti-transgender military ban to go into effect while litigation proceeds.
The stay of the district court's injunction was issued with no reasoning and over the objections of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson.

Trump admin asks SCOTUS to let it enforce anti-trans military ban during litigation
The request comes in the wake of two district court orders finding that the ban is likely unconstitutional. Also: More upheaval in DOJ's Civil Rights Division this week.

Breaking: Supreme Court allows Trump's anti-trans military ban to go into effect
The order, with no reasoning, effectively overturns two district court rulings blocking the ban. The liberal justices objected.
Trans people are totally and royally fucked. We're facing generational oblivion as scotus greenlights eradication of trans people from society.
People should never forget that John Roberts and the other five greenlighted the return of segregation to the military.
DISGUSTING. If you are willing to serve your country, who the heck cares if one is transgender.
I don’t know how to teach TROs and preliminary injunctions to law students now…
Do they only want white straight men to be in the military? Wouldn't that mean they also would be the first and most prominent casualties in case a war?
100% of trans folx in the military are at least 200% more qualified to serve than Donald as a result of these 2 factors:
- Will defend Constitution
- No phantom bone spurs
A respectable military, requires us to ban the people who don't know how to do their jobs instead of the trans People who do.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is cruel and terribly shortsighted. Transgender service members are qualified and highly trained. There is absolutely no reason to force them out. Losing these service members is a loss of their experience, expertise, and corporate knowledge from the military. This is a horrible decision.
Seems like the reasoning is "we're going to ultimately decide to support the ban, but we need time to come up with a BS legalese explanation that MSM will eat up without questioning, so do what you want and we'll finalize this later"
I hate the fucking Inferior Court of the United States of America
that's maybe because there is no rational reasoning. The manifest harm to the expelled soldier (in the interem) would necessarily be FAR greater than any harm to the Service.

Terrible news from the SC.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoes anti-trans bills, and tells lawmakers to 'focus on real issues that matter'
Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a birth certificate update ban as well as two DEI bans that explicitly included transgender people.
Usually the courts want to make sure the status quo is preserved while the case is decided. Sort of a first-do-no-harm approach. Now the MAGA court does the opposite. Let's kick all of them out before the lower courts rule, that way even if they win at the lower court, they are already out.
"... issued with no reasoning..." The "reasoning" is obvious. The MAGAt justices are bigots.
Raise your hand if this surprises you.
Anyone?
Cowards.

Send the right wingers on the supreme court to El Salvador
Written with no reasoning indeed.
Predictable lines.
I'm from besieged and affected Gaza. My father is unemployed. We don't have money to buy food. We've run out and prices are skyrocketing. I need your help, my friends, to raise money.
We have to remove the conservative cancer from this country.
The 9th COA hasn't issued their decision yet, they're trying to let the COA make their decision, THEN look at the case. They've ruled in favor of transgender people in the past.
While litigation is still under way? Sounds super legal. Meanwhile, those service members get what? Honorable discharges, right? No fault of their own, right?
You cannot erase what people are. What they need to be. Who chose to serve their country.
Fuckers.
The justices provide no comment on their ruling. Their smug silence at the people they’re screwing over is palpable. God, I can’t wait to read their obituaries
Dear Supreme Court…
Fuck off!
Everyone who was convinced Amy Coney Barrett was on the Souter route
*sigh*
Of course they would. 😞
Bigotry is irrational and unoptimal. Two things that make militaries suck at militaring. Which is why it is usually the first thing that goes woke.
