DOGE v. The Constitution

🔴 UPDATE: March 31, 2025
9th Circuit Denies Trump’s Emergency Bid to Reinstate Trans Military Ban

In another blow to the Trump regime’s war on civil rights, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied an emergency motion from the administration to reinstate its ban on transgender troops. Trump’s lawyers sought immediate permission to purge trans service members from the military while litigation plays out—but the court said no.

This ruling keeps protections in place for transgender Americans serving in uniform, halting yet another attempt to weaponize the federal government against marginalized communities.

Key Developments:

• The 9th Circuit denied the Trump administration’s emergency motion for a stay that would have allowed the military to begin discharging transgender troops immediately. The court cited precedent from Doe #1 v. Trump in its decision.

• This decision upholds a lower court’s injunction issued by Judge Benjamin Settle in the Western District of Washington, which blocks the administration’s discriminatory policy from taking effect.

• The Guardian reports that this is just one of several legal losses for Trump this week, as judges push back on executive overreach in multiple arenas.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
Transgender troops win—for now. And so does the Constitution.
But this legal victory doesn’t change the fact that the Trump administration has made targeting vulnerable Americans a cornerstone of its agenda. The real goal here isn’t “military readiness”—it’s using hate as policy, again.
The people who pay the price are those who serve this country with courage and dignity, only to be treated as political pawns by a regime obsessed with cruelty and control.

🔍 Why This Matters:
This case is part of a much larger pattern: Trump is testing the limits of how far he can go in stripping rights from entire groups of Americans—whether it's immigrants, queer people, or government workers. Every court loss slows him down, but the attacks won’t stop.

🚨 The Bottom Line:
The 9th Circuit just slammed the brakes on another Trump power grab. But this fight isn’t over. The attempt to erase transgender troops from the military isn’t about “policy”—it’s about reshaping the country into something unrecognizable.
This is what they do: create chaos, weaponize bigotry, and chip away at civil rights until there’s nothing left to protect.
