I think Trump is CIC and the judge has no authority.

“Total gibberish !!!!!”

Read the Constitution. Congress can “constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.” It can regulate the courts and determine their the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme and inferior courts. It also has the power “To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces.”

Congress can simply pass a bill banning transexuals in the armed forces and deny the federal courts appellate authority over the law. Alternatively it can ban spending for gender reassignment surgery and deny the courts appellate authority. The court has no recourse with respect to matters Congress has defined as being outside its jurisdiction unless the jurisdiction is specifically delineated in the Constitution.

The Courts have seized power by decree from the Executive and Legislative branches who have acquiesced to this seizure of power. Perhaps someday the POTUS or Congress will simply announce it will not obey a court decree. Effectively doing so is no different than Obama and Bush selectively enforcing laws passed by Congress.

You don’t get it, do you!

No branch of government has any power not granted to it by the Constitution.

“Ennumerated powers” is is the name of that limitation.

I fully understand enumerated powers. I also know that horse left the barn long ago. The states and the people have ceded considerable power to the federal government. Congress and the Executive branch have ceded power to federal judges. The courts meddle in the affairs of the people, the states, Congress, and the Executive branch daily. The question is how to bring the courts in line.

There was no horse to leave the barn.

Ignoring the judge is the best course of action.

What isn’t isn’t. Only Don Quixote would sweat it.

“Why do judges have all this power to over turn the President’s authority?”

Another example of congressional dysfunction. There is a mechanism for impeaching judges! USE IT YOU WORTHLESS BASTARDS! There should be a standing committee set up for summary impeachment of these wretched democrat judges as soon as they overstep their authority.

Judge Garbis wrote in his 53-page order that transgender military members who filed suit over the proposal had established that they were “likely to suffer imminent harm as a result of the Directives in the President’s Memorandum.”

Is Judge Garbis sane?

People with gender confusion are insane, and in need of treatment for their mental disorder.

Those mental patients are likely to suffer imminent harm if their bodies are mutilated by sexual reassignment surgery and drugs.

Judge Garbis needs to be removed from the bench.

Well said...It truly looks like Judge Garbis is not sane just as transgenders definitely suffer mental disease.

What part of the Constitution did Judge Garbis find was violated?

Whose in charge of this nation? The President? Or commie federal judges. It seems like the latter.

Ignor the judges.

After all, how many divisions do they command?

5.56mm

Tell the hospitals and doctors they will have to sue to get their money and they will refuse to do the procedure.
