They are insane.
Why does the court even accept such frivolous lawsuit?
To: Innovative
I don’t think they can sue their commander in chief.

They are insane. Why does the court even accept such frivolous lawsuit? Oh I guarantee there are a bunch of Obama appointee Federal Judges just drooling to strike down the ban. And just like with the travel ban, they won't even bother finding a legal reason the ban is unconstitutional, they will just strike it down because they will declare Trump only did it out of spite (essentially the reason they struck down the travel ban).

Exactly. So why would a judge take this case, instead of turning them away in the first place.

The directive to reinstate a ban on open service by transgender people violates both the Equal Protection component of the Fifth Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, states the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington by five anonymous Jane Does. So far there is no directive to reinstate the ban, only a Trump tweet. Don't they have to wait until there is a ban for them to sue over?
To: Innovative
One suspects that possibility that the (apparently) military-hating Mister Obama opened our precious military to transgendered individuals to hurt morale (making it difficult to express one's self without a p c violation), to mess with military discipline (favoritism for the abnormals, it always happens), to screw up military traditions, and thus pride in military history, and to do this with....
...(you probably guessed, but...)
LAWSUITS!

I guess those who are obese, have flat feet, too short, have tattoos on their face, mentally ill, etc are next to sue
To: Innovative
If we start allowing the mentally ill dictate policy to our military, we’re toast.

Trangender rights ping!
If no-one knows that these Jane Does. are really John Does then what is their problem?

They are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD).

To: Innovative
Since Transgenders must take hormone shots, they are medically dependent and therefore not world-wide deployable and unfit to serve on Active or Reserve duty.

Serving in the United States military is not a right. Would not that shoot a hole in the equal protection argument?

In a sane World they would not. But we no longer live in a sane world. That ship sailed when the voters, in their infinite wisdom, returned the muslim to the White House by a majority vote. We now live in a Get President Trump World.

There were very good reason that the founders said he couldn’t be President.
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
He was and is ineligible.

If I remember correctly, when we signed up, part of the obligation was that we CANNOT sue the government.
So, technically, they are breaching the contract.

Misfits can not prove they are fit for battle. There are no safe-spaces with coloring books on the battlefield.
