Voila!

A federal judge on Wednesday affirmed her injunction preventing President Trump’s transgender military policy from taking effect remains in place days after the Pentagon released a memo to implement the policy.
In a three-page order, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote that “defendants were incorrect in claiming that there was no longer an impediment to the military’s implementation of the [transgender policy] in this case.”
Asked whether the order will affect plans to implement the policy April 12, a Pentagon spokeswoman said the department is “consulting with the Department of Justice on next steps.”
The spokeswoman referred further comment to the Justice Department, which declined to comment.
Last week, acting Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist signed a memo implementing a policy that would ban most transgender people from serving in the military. The memo makes the policy effective April 12.
The memo came roughly a week after a federal court ruled to lift the last of the injunctions preventing Trump’s policy from taking effect.
A federal judge in Maryland ruled he had no choice but to the lift the injunction after the Supreme Court in February ruled 5-4 to lift two other injunction.
But advocates for transgender troops and the Trump administration continued to fight over whether a fourth injunction remained in place despite the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia’s ruling to lift it.
The plaintiffs in that lawsuit argued the injunction still holds until they decide whether they want a rehearing in front of the appeal court’s full bench. The deadline for them to decide is March 29.
In Tuesday’s court order, Kollar-Kotelly agreed, saying the D.C. Circuit Court’s judgment is not final until it issues a mandate after the deadline passes

It ALREADY went "that far" and it ALREADY lost "at the SC level."
Then what’s the problem!!!??!!?
If Trump abides by that judge’s decree, then the presidency is over. May as well give it up.
And here I thought the President was the Commander in Chief. Silly of me, I know.
Surely a shop could be set up to “redneck” these into existence....
PDJT needs to do what soetoro did when faced with rulings that he didn't like.
Ignore the judge and do as he pleases.
Just tell the judge to go sh!t up a rope!
Too many courts playing games with this.
“Judge” should be involuntarily committed for talking to himself.
“Where do we muster, EG ? Or do I just wing it ?”
A rifle behind every blade of grass.
I agree with the judge. Effective immediately, all transgendered soldiers are to report to SEAL training.
Clearly, the best in the ranks will step up to the challenge and honor their nation!/s
I just want to say, if the democrats think this strategy is theirs alone,
They are going to be incredibly sorry.
We have a number of conservative leaning courts we can file in that will do the same for us.
Their presidents are going to be stonewalled into standing still.
Not only that, but their candidates are going to be spied on by the intelligence agencies, their non-profit applications slow walked by the IRS, their businesses denied bank services, and their social media accounts banned.
Oh wait. Never mind, none of that will happen to them.
The Executive-Judicial branch weighs in to straighten out those rubes in the Executive branch about who is REALLY running the country...
Blanket party, as opposed to blanket pardon... ;-)
More hot air, the SC has already decided this.
