Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is leading a group of 15 Democratic attorneys general in opposing President Donald Trump’s administration’s plan to bar transgender individuals from openly serving in the military.
The group filed a brief Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia arguing that banning transgender individuals from the military is unconstitutional and against the interest of national defense and that it harms the transgender community. “Our military should be open to every brave American who volunteers to serve,” Healey said.
In the brief, the attorneys general argue that “nothing about being transgender inhibits a person’s ability to serve in the military or otherwise contribute to society.” […]
The brief supports a lawsuit filed in August by The National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders on behalf of eight transgender individuals, including members of the Air Force, Coast Guard and the Army, as well as students at the U.S. Naval Academy and in the ROTC program at the University of New Haven. …

State AGs got nothing to say about how the federal mililtary is run. STFU and go prosecute some scumbags.
'Nuff said.
“No known mental health problems should ever be allowed in the military period.”

I have to log off now, but I had to address this. I minored in psychology in college, and in the ‘80s, even being gay, let alone transgendered, was considered a mental illness, according to the DSM.
Thanks to propaganda from the media and Hollywood, things have certainly changed.
Oh, btw...a couple of years ago, I was visiting my dying father in Chicago and staying at a hotel. I went to the front desk to ask for something, and this man came up, wearing a pink dress, pink earrings and pink heels. He had a beard and gray hair.
Everyone there tried to pretend that it wasn’t the weirdest thing they had ever seen. LOL!
These foolish 15 attorney generals have absolutely no clue as to the purpose and function of the U.S. military. My guess is they also have no understanding of the American Constitution. Their states are being poorly served.
In a just world all these child-torturers would be hung by the neck until dead.
How do they have any standkng?
Don’t tell me. They’re all homosexuals. This is news?
Too bad.....AGs have no standing
And the dumbocrats think this is a winning issue for them....
The time for America to send politicians, “lawyers” and “judges” to fight our wars is way overdue. Let’s keep our young men and women at home.
In most of those states, you have a better chance of winning the Powerball, Mega Millions as well as seeing killery clinton going to prison, the Yellowstone super volcano erupting, an asteroid hitting Hollywood, and pigs flying all on the same day before a sane person ever becomes AG.
It’s the FREAKING MILITARY!!! These low life AGS should have NOTHING to say about their gay friends being in the military.
Fire them and watch the fireworks. Worth another bag of popcorn!
Asspress is very active today. Like multiplying cancer cells.
State attorney generals have nothing to do with the military. That’s like asking the USDA what they think of the F-35
Last I heard state attorney generals do not sit on “Joint Chief of Staff meetings nor are they part of those meetings, nor do they have in legal influence at those meetings and they are not president.
It should read: “15 openings in officer ranks”
Don’t know much about law. But don’t you have to prove “standing?” How do these 15 RAT attorney generals do that?
Our military shouldn’t be a baby-sitting service for the mentally ill.
I assume by alleging it will adversely affect their state National Guards.
