Trump Administration Urges Supreme Court To Allow Ban On Transgender Members Of The Military
HuffPost
The order claimed these soldiers could not meet the “high standards for readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity.”
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to lift an injunction on its controversial transgender military ban as challenges against it go forward.
Solicitor General John Sauer wrote to the high court that an injunction “cannot be squared with the substantial deference that the department’s professional military judgements are owed.”
In January, President Donald Trump issued an executive order banning trans troops from serving in the military and proclaimed, without evidence, that their “false” expression of their gender identity made them unfit for service.
The order claimed that these soldiers could not meet the “high standards for readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity.”
That executive order kicked off a series of lawsuits from transgender service members — many of them decorated and one in an active combat zone — who claimed the administration was openly and unconstitutionally discriminating against them.
