That's a big step for the military. Congrats to all Trans soldiers! I hope you all have prosperous careers. I also hope that your lives won't be damaged by all the haters. As you already know, haters are almost guaranteed. Good luck. 👍

Necessary ruling. Thanks to the court. It is discrimination on the basis of sex. https://youtu.be/i62SusO5fKA

Leave Beyoncé the fuck outta this. She supports the queer and trans community.

Love the judge’s analogy … maybe they could have gone further than “Cowboy Carter” to calling out “Destiny’s Child”😉

🎯 "...the judge said the government had thrown together a ban based on next-to-no evidence and that “the law does not demand that the Court rubber-stamp illogical judgments based on conjecture.”
Dear Professor Tribe, why aren't lawyers who advance specious and baseless arguments held accountable?

Three cheers for that judge. A blow against bigotry.

Maybe it was just "vibes"

At what point is it appropriate to sanction lawyers who raise worthless defenses? Comment 7 to Rule 8.4 of the ABA Rules of Professional Conduct: lawyers in public positions have a higher duty than private lawyers.

This DoJ is not entitled to any presumption of honesty.

Did anyone really think there was any real logic and reason for the expulsion?

MAGA did

No it was just hate. They hate what they can’t understand. MAGA just means “HATE”

A judge with a sense-of-humor
Is one of my favorite things!

Felon34's order that trans troops cannot have a "soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle" is laughable. When has Trump ever been "honorable, truthful and disciplined"?

A draft dodger bars brave, patriotic men and women from serving their country. How ironic.

I like this Judge

enragedapostate.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now THAT is a judge I want in the courtroom and at a wine-and-cheese social gathering too

Life of the party!

There's a nice shout-out to Miranda's "Hamilton" in Footnote 5.

Props to Beyoncé, but good line, judge.

When a judge compares your legal argument to citing a Beyoncé album, that's a clear indication that it's blatant discrimination.

If you are willing to serve, to put your very life on the line, you deserve our respect and thanks.

Judicial humour.

Classic.

"Federal Judge Ana Reyes blocks Trump administration from banning transgender people from military service; ruling that Trump’s order likely violates their constitutional rights"
The poetic justice is that Judge Reyes was born in Uruguay.
Tantrum-time for Trump...
