A U.S. court on Monday ruled the Trump administration could not enforce an updated policy barring certain transgender people from serving in the U.S. military, becoming the second court in the country to rule against the government since it unveiled the policy in March.
Trump announced on March 23 that he would endorse a plan by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to restrict the military service of transgender people who experience a condition called gender dysphoria. The policy replaced an outright ban on transgender service members that Trump announced last year on Twitter, citing concern over military focus and medical costs.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington denied a request by the administration to lift an injunction she had issued against Trump's original ban.

Three more judges also blocked the ban, forcing the military to permit openly transgender individuals to join the ranks.

Obama was a dictator making up laws or ignoring them and the judges yawned.
Trump is allowed to do nothing. Including using the same logic as obama.

Time to arrest all of these "judges." Send them to GITMO. They are enemies of the People, and of the Constitution.

Judges do not have this power.
They should be ignored.

The Congress - the legislative branch of the governmgent - is the final arbiter, even though they never exercise this power.
We DON’T have to sit back and allow activist judges make policy.
Congress do your job!

Here is where we’re headed:
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

These judges who believe themselves to be the rulers of our country should be arrested, tried by a military tribunal, and then shot.

I am glad I am no longer in the military.
The court needs to be pushed back to is role, which is not creating laws or running the government.
