Justices split along ideological lines; litigation continues in lower courts

WASHINGTON—A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to allow the Trump administration to implement for now its planned restrictions on service in the military by transgender individuals.

The high court issued stay orders that block the effect of multiple lower court rulings that prevented the administration from implementing the transgender restrictions, on the grounds that they were likely unconstitutional.
================================
This may be one of the first such 'split' decisions now that Trump has packed the court with Conservative justices.

as if the court wasn't issuing split decisions before.

This is a clear cut and dry case of the liberal justices not following the law.
if the law allowed obama to change something and it not be unconstitutional
then trump has the right to change it again and it not be unconstitutional.

the hypocrisy on the bench is ridiculous more so in the lower courts.
 
You know how the right hates activist courts......

the only activists were those that didn't say that obama changing the rule was unconstitutional.
while saying that trump changing the rule the say way that obama did is.

that is what we call judicial activism.

Interesting.
Question: In the event that a trans person is in the military, would they be forced to wear the uniform of their formal biological gender?
 
Trumps edict will be reversed after 2020.

BS, the right calls anything judicial activism anytime they don't get their way.

and you are wrong as usual. that is why paintbrush fallacies are called such.
a judges job is to rule whether something is unconstitutional or constitutional.

so if they rule that someone can change the rules and it is constitutional.
then they have to rule the same way when someone else changes the rule.

it doesn't matter if they like the rule or not. the opinion of the rule and if they like or don't like it
is irrelevant.

active judicial-ism is when a just interjects his personal ideology into his rulings.
 
I wonder...did Ginsberg mail in her vote?

If the person can shoot the bad guy in their boiler room and put them down, I do not care what they do when on liberty.
As long as they are an ass kicking warrior when needed, I am good with it.

And because they are judges, we are absolutely sure they never inject their personal feelings into their decisions. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

The supreme court is like the pope in catholicism. Eating meat on friday, you go to hell. Next pope, hey guys, how about a nice steak for dinner this friday ok, good.
 
Trump is afraid. Anyone different. He's a big ****ing *****.
 
I hope that Republicans lose what little percentage of the LBGTQ vote they still have. Their margin isn't that secure, and every bit helps.

One way of looking at the situation is


Should the US military accept as recruits people who have a medical condition that requires surgery that has not been done but which will also require constant medication to maintain health after it has been completed?

You could even simplify that by eliminating the "not only requires surgery that has not been done but which will also" portion so that one of the conditions that would be a disqualifier is "Type 1 Diabetes".

So ask yourself, "Should persons with "Type 1 Diabetes" be eligible for enlistment in the US military?". Currently they are NOT.

Another way to simplify that would be by eliminating the "but which will also require constant medication to maintain health after it has been completed" bit, so that one of the conditions that would be a disqualifier is "two broken legs".

So ask yourself, "Should persons with "two broken legs" be eligible for enlistment in the US military?". Currently they are NOT.

Now ask yourself, "Should persons with "Type 1 Diabetes" and "two broken legs" be eligible for service in the US military?". Currently they are __[fill in the blank]__.

PS - Yes, that is what is known as an analogy.

Now if there were a person who had completed their "gender realignment surgery" and who did NOT require continuous medication in order to remain healthy, that would be a completely different case.

Are there any such people?

Do current active service transgender get to now leave the military or are they expected to finish their enlisted term?

It's ridiculous that these people can get sex change operations for free from the government, just by enlisting.

This is what's known as "a legal ruling".

Pretty sure MLK would not be a MAGA hat wearing charlatan if he were alive.

Legal my ass. I didn't know Republicans wanted to restrict those that would seek to defend the nation. Our own citizens stopped from serving.

You people are sickening.

MLK didn't want to make America great?

United States citizens have been barred from military service for 240 years. Midgets, mentally ill, handicapped, fat, blind, deaf people are barred from the service.

I guess you want to let blind people fly helicopters, next. :lamo
