More than 50 House Democrats are urging the Pentagon not to comply with President Trump’s “unconstitutional” ban on transgender troops.
“As members of Congress with an abiding interest in our nation’s military and its policies towards the LGBTQ community, we write to not only express our strong opposition to President Trump’s recent tweets seeking to ban transgender individuals from the military, but to remind you not to comply with any unconstitutional directive which may ultimately be issued,” the 53 lawmakers wrote to Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford in a letter Friday.
The letter was organized by the top Democrats on the House Armed Services and Judiciary committees, Reps. Adam Smith (Wash.) and John Conyers Jr. (Mich.), respectively. Signatories hail from those committees, as well as the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus.

“Unconstitutional” = “we don’t like it” Synonym: racist.
It's right there in the 1st Amendment just before the Right to an Abortion clause.
Somebody please tell me this is a joke.
What would a democrat know about “constitutional”?
They have been active enemies of governance by Constitutional means at least since FDR slimed his way across the stage.
(Earlier progressives like Wilson were also enemies to the Constitution, but they had not yet reached a point of simply disregarding it)
I see the rep from New Hampshire, Shea Porter has signed her name to support deviancy to the detriment of national protection. The liberal swine of the New Hampshire coastal region voted this scumbag in last year.
Same place it says that Trump cant issue a travel ban on terrorist countries.

I see the problem here.
It’s right there in the 1st Amendment just before the Right to an Abortion clause, the right to a free cell phone, 1 gallon per flush, 3 tail lights on all cars, no 40, 60, 75, 100 watt bulbs, money to abortion providers, (golly, getting tired already), and the right to vote even if you’re not a citizen or alive. (there must be more . . . )
They don’t use the Constitution they make their own rules note last 30 yeas.
It’s right there on the children’s menu, isn’t it?
Can you say “insubordination?” I knew you could.
I'd also like to see where the Sec of Defense is allowed to DISOBEY a lawful order from The Commander in Chief because a bunch of pantywaists, most of who have never served a day, told him to.
I thought they wanted to cut off their caucus.
