Federal judge defies Trump admin, removes Pentagon block on funds for gender reassignment
The Washington Times ^ | November 21, 2017t | Andrea Noble

A federal judge in Maryland became the second to block the Trump administration’s proposal to oust transgender service members from the military — but went a step further than the prior ruling and halted a directive for the Pentagon to stop paying for gender-reassignment treatments.

The preliminary injunction issued Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Marvin J. Garbis comes after the prior ruling out of D.C. found that the policy banning transgender troops creates an “inherent inequality” that likely violates the Constitution.

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.”

A judicial impeachment scalp or two per year would do wonders.

What possible "imminent harm" would they "suffer"?

None, in my opinion other than have to pay the bill themselves for the mutilation of their bodies and the embarrassment of being a freak in our society.

They are mentally ill. If anything, pay for their intense psychotherapy.

Not really. The courts are as corrupt as the rest of the fed govt. Politicized...Loyal to a leftist ideology.

Like I said, we need a COTS, not to amend the Constitution, which no one is upholding or following anyways, but to hold treason trials and hangings on the national mall. We need mass arrests and round-ups of these anti-American leftists or we’re finished.

We’re pretty much finished anyways...all over but the screaming, dying and the crying but I don’t want to scare the womyns here.

Many judges appear to be politically driven nitwits.

Modern liberal judges make more sense if you think of them as progressive priests.

So people will just join the military to get free sex reassignment surgery and promptly quit after?
Seems like encouraging a scam to me.
