Activist Judge Reinstates Obama Military Transgender Rule in Defiance of Trump Administration


The American people voted against Leftism, rejecting it lock, stock and barrel.  The American people put Donald Trump in the White House to effect this change.  They voted to remove the Establishmentariat attitude of being holier than thou.  They wanted the Swamp drained.  They decided that the Deep State was deeply flawed.

So, the answer on the Left?

Shop for a judge to fix that.  If the election didn’t go their way…RECOUNT…DISBAND ELECTORAL COLLEGE…ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT…COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA!  If the agenda isn’t what they want, or goes directly against their beliefs…SHOP FOR AN ACTIVIST JUDGE WHO WILL GUNK UP THE WORKS AND HALT THE AGENDA UNTIL WE CAN FIND A VALID “ACTUAL, LEGAL” REASON FOR WHY THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

And it’s happened again.  This time with the transgender ban in the military announcement.

A judge says she has the authority to countermand the Commander in Chief’s July decision to reject transgender applicants for military service, highlighting the judiciary’s continued efforts to seize political power from legislators and President Donald Trump.

The claim was made October 30, when Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia denounced Trump’s ‘Presidential Memorandum’ ending President Barack Obama’s policy of recruiting people who think they are members of the opposite sex.

She insisted that Trump’s policy be blocked pending a full trial:

The Court will preliminarily enjoin Defendants from enforcing the following directives of the [Trump] Presidential Memorandum, referred to by the Court as the Accession and Retention Directives:

I am directing the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the U.S. Coast Guard, to return to the longstanding policy and practice on military service by transgender individuals that was in place prior to June 2016 until such time as a sufficient basis exists upon which to conclude that terminating that policy and practice would not have the negative effects discussed above.

The judge ordered the Pentagon to continue Obama’s policy of recruiting people who think they are members of the opposite sex, pending a trial and a final decision. The Democratic-nominated judge also insisted that the Trump’s policy would hurt the military, declaring that:

On the record before the Court, there is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effective on the military at all. In fact, there is considerable evidence that it is the discharge and banning of such individuals that would have such effects.

Who has given the authority to these activist Leftist judges to be able to re-write American presidential and Congressional policy?

Well, honestly, no one.  No law, that is.  The Constitution doesn’t really allow for this type of thwarting of presidential power.  It does allow for the question of laws that are extra-Constitutional, something that former president Barack Hussein Obama did on an almost weekly basis (and for which, he went unchallenged by both the judges and Swamp RINOs).  The problem with this type of determination, though, is sort of the same concept of calling someone a rapist:  Once the charge is made, it sticks until it can be proven otherwise.

In the case of Trump’s agenda, the Republicans are not with him.  Never have been.  It’s difficult enough when you have your own party on your side, but when they are actively working against you, it’s nearly impossible.  Add to that the fact that your traditional opponent, the Democrats, are using every laundered dollar at their disposal to trash the agenda by slowing it down in the courts and it becomes flat-out impossible.

What will occur next is that this new decree by the judge will remain until the Supreme Court deigns to hear the case.  That could be a long while.  That being the case, we could have this twisted social experiment of transgenders in the military continue on for a very long time.
