Second U.S. judge halts Trump's proposed transgender military ban

BALTIMORE — Another federal judge has halted a proposed transgender military ban, expanding on an initial ruling issued last month against the plan by President Donald Trump's administration.

In a preliminary injunction issued Tuesday in Baltimore, U.S. District Judge Marvin Garbis ruled that transgender service members have "demonstrated that they are already suffering harmful consequences" due to the proposed ban including threat of discharge, stigma and the cancellation or delay of surgeries related to their gender transitions. The six plaintiffs in the lawsuit he reviewed have all been receiving hormone therapy.

In a strongly-worded passage from his 53-page decision, Garbis wrote that the "capricious, arbitrary, and unqualified tweet of new policy does not trump the methodical and systematic review by military stakeholders qualified to understand the ramifications of policy change."

How can these judges be removed from the bench for exceeding their authority?

For Federal judges, impeachment by the Congress. Not going to happen.

These people aren’t willing to admit that transgender/transsexuals are on steroids. Are steroids supposed to be allowed in the military. Will trannies have roid rage? The drug dependency is what disqualified so many people from the military in the first place. Why should some people be exempt from drug dependency rules.

citizens arrest of judges. But better Trump has to stand up and implement policies of national security like sanctuary city funds removal and immigration and composition of military. These should not be subject to judicial review. He started off wrong when he responded to the first court in Hawaii and recognized their ruling.

Is the judge queer? Or progressive? Or both?

This judge is obvious gay and/or a tranny himself. Probably wears Victoria’s Secret lingeree under his robe.

Not sure I’d describe it as “good” but agree with your point. Plus every time Trump tries to do the right thing and implement his campaign promises but is blocked by the judiciary, he wins politically and it strengthens the argument for remaking the federal judiciary, as he is doing.

Just tell the trans peoples that we cannot afford sex change surgery but have hired a vet fresh out of school to do the neutering required.

[[to understand the ramifications of policy change.]]

No mention of the ‘ramifications’ of allowing gays to openly serve which HAS increased the number of gay rapes by homosexuals assaulting straight men and women-

I just read that HALF of transgenders in prison are in there for sex related crimes.

If true, that is a bad statistic and one that should be true if it’s all “just normal”. There’s nothing in science that backs up any of the transgender narrative from the left.

Was the Constitution changed and I didn’t notice? I thought the president was the CIC of the military. Do judges now make decisions such as troop movement?

Its time for a President with backbone to tell them that and then implement policies that help rebuild America.

He has already knuckled under too may times. He should have told Mattis to process them out immediately instead of the six month stall that he granted. There is a Coast Guard Admiral the should have been fired after his first tweet, and there is a SAC commander with diarrhea of the mouth that should already be retired.

Trump can now appeal

Trump should ignore the tyrants and let them work through the courts, Or forever accept that unelected judges are the real president(s).

Why should any employer have any obligation to either pay for this mutilation or give people time off work to follow their depraved fantasies? You are in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines to DO YOUR JOB protecting America - not to audition for the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

The military is not the place for social experiments.

They have been for certain since the Clintons rose to power. Remember when we back stabbed the Bosnians? Hillary demanded that men and women troops there, use the same latrines. Ships now come without urinals installed.

Trump needs to just order his subordinates in the military to implement the policy, judges be damned, or they will be discharged as well. Eventually, someone down the chain of command will obey orders.

Evry one of those Mayors/Governors are violating several Federal laws. Arrest and charge them and this stuff will go away quickly.

This Judge's decision directly contradicts the Obama Case against Arizona enforcing immigration law.
