Five active-duty service members sued President Trump Wednesday over his intentions to ban transgender personnel from serving in the military.
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.
They are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD).

Ummm, we are under a “living” Constitution, embrace the chaos, not enumerations, common sense/Natural Law, and applied law.

If we start allowing the mentally ill dictate policy to our military, were toast. We're already there. In fact, been there for a while.

This is a coordinated attack on our military as ruthless as any enemy in the field would be. Yep. Wish more people would recognize this.

I hope that Trump will stand firm on this one. This is the ACTUAL chance to reign in the courts. I don’t think even our chicken-shit congress would have the guts to explain to the American people that they are impeaching a President because he won’t let these fruitcakes in the US Marines. Particularly at this moment in time, with the North Korea situation.

Gutless. They’ll be losing their rank and kicked out as soon as it’s discovered who they are. You can’t sue the C in C.

I guess those who are obese, have flat feet, too short, have tattoos on their face, mentally ill, etc are next to sueI'd say the mentally ill are already suing.
To: fwdude
been there for a while Yes, but that's been because of mentally ill leaders.
Time to reverse course.

These trannies are mentally ill . They should be court-martialed and thrown in Leavenworth. Being they are mentally unstable , they will probably suicide soon anyway.
