A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from removing nondiscrimination protections for transgender people in health care, issuing a temporary setback to a major policy priority for social conservatives.
The new rules, which were set to take effect on Tuesday, would have reversed Obama-era Affordable Care Act regulations that said discrimination protections “on the basis of sex” should apply to transgender people. Civil rights advocates had decried the new interpretation, saying it could be used to deny care to transgender patients.
The Department of Health and Human Services finalized the regulations in June, three days before the Supreme Court ruled that federal nondiscrimination protections “because of sex” include gay and transgender employees. The Supreme Court justices held that such discrimination “has always been prohibited by Title VII’s plain terms,” and that “that should be the end of the analysis.”

Federal Judge Blocks Trump-———
In Monday’s preliminary injunction, U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block said the administration’s new rules contradicted this Supreme Court ruling and that HHS acted “arbitrarily and capriciously in enacting them.” …Block is a Clinton appointee, for the record.
Judge Blocksucker.
Isn’t this an Executive-branch matter? Judges may have opinions, but who cares?
Exactly. Trump seems to act as though he has authority but only if all federal judges unanimously agree with him.

Can I cut the dick off of U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block?
Many judges are now cancerous tumors in our Republic.
U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block is another democraicly appointed judge. He was appointed by Bill Clinton. He is simply following a plank in the party’s platform.
Just one more reason President Trump should have FORCED ALL Federal Employee’s to enroll in Obamacare.
Again: Obama can issue a regulation but Trump cannot issue one repealing it. How doest that work?
Justices wrongly ignored that the only specific powers that the states have expressly constitutional given the feds to make penal laws that discourage sex discrimination are limited to protecting biological sex at birth and race only in the context of voting rights, also evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But more importantly regarding the Supremes legislating constitutionally indefensible LGBT “rights” from the bench, probably much of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its titles that justices claimed to be protecting are unconstitutional imo since they go well beyond the scope of voting issues, including 15th Amendment-protected, race-related voting rights protections.
"15th Amendment:Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added].”
The remedy for corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification career politicians who exploit low-information voters by promising them constitutionally indefensible federal civil rights laws to win their votes to stay in power, unconstitutionally expanding the already unconstitutionally big federal government’s powers by doing so…
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
The Senate has confirmed 203 Article III judges nominated by President Trump. The following was a result of some of his judicial appointments.

Ronald Reagan on Gun Control | NRA
MAY 15, 2018
IN HIS WORDS
https://www.reagan.com/ronald-reagan-on-gun-control-nra
“However, as the debate over gun control became more nuanced in the years to come, so too did Ronald Reagan’s positions. In the early 1990s, he announced support for the Brady Bill, named for his staffer who was paralyzed by the 1981 attempt on Reagan’s life. That legislation, which called for background checks for gun purchases, was adopted in 1993. The topics of Ronald Reagan, the NRA and the 1994 assault weapons ban were among those fueling public debate about gun control that year. The former president joined Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter in publicly calling on Congress to ban the manufacture of military-grade assault weapons.”
