The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court decided on Tuesday that the Trump government could enforce a ban on transgender troops that were used by the military that had been blocked by the deeper courts.

The verdict was short, not signed and did not give any reasons what is typical when the judges react to emergency applications. It remains while the challenges for the ban are moving forward.

The three liberal members of the court – the Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson – noted, but did not provide any reasoning.

The case concerns an executive regulation on the first day of President Trump's second term. It revoked an order from President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

A week later, Mr. Trump published a second order in which she said that “the assumption of a gender identity, which stands with the sexual conflict of an individual with the commitment of a soldier, does not match an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle.”

The Ministry of Defense implemented Mr. Trump's order in February and issued a new guideline that transgender troops from the military had to be forced.
