Let’s face it, stiletto heels have no place on the battlefield. That is why President Trump has tried to ban transgenders from the military. An activist judge ruled against the ban and rather than appealing to a liberal packed Appeals Court, the president is asking the Supreme Court to take it on an expedited level.
Should they accept the case, they would then set a precedent that no lower court could rule against.
Since he has become president, lower courts have written new law from the bench and then make their rulings national. That rarely happened before Trump, but has now become commonplace. In the end, the rulings by the lower courts are thrown out. I wonder how many transgenders would serve if the military didn’t pay for sex change operations.
Government lawyers asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reimpose President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender servicemen in the military Friday, even as federal appeals courts in Washington, D.C., and California are still considering the matter.
Friday’s filing is the latest in a series of high-profile cases in which the government has bypassed normal judicial procedure and taken petitions directly to the high court.
“The district court in this case entered a nationwide preliminary injunction nullifying that exercise of professional military judgment and blocking the implementation of a policy that the secretary has deemed necessary to ‘place the Department of Defense in the strongest position to protect the American people, to fight and win America’s wars, and to ensure the survival and success of our service members around the world,’” the petition said.
I would just like to point out that the military is held to a different standard than the private sector since national defense is at stake.
