Democrats and leftist groups like the ACLU have sued the Trump administration for virtually everything he and his team have tried to do in his second stint in the office, and lower-court judges have frequently been jumping in and making sweeping decisions that many critics think our far out of their purview.

One such issue is the January Trump executive order banning transgenders serving in our military forces, an order that has gone back and forth in the courts since he announced it. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court weighed in, however—and they sided with the commander in chief:

The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration in lifting a lower court's order that paused the Pentagon's transgender military ban.

In a short order on Tuesday, the high court handed the White House win as Trump seeks to unmake the Biden-era diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda. The court stayed a lower court order, allowing the Pentagon policy to take effect. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration's appeal and kept the lower court injunction in place.

Trump's executive order laid out his reasoning:

Recently, however, the Armed Forces have been afflicted with radical gender ideology to appease activists unconcerned with the requirements of military service like physical and mental health, selflessness, and unit cohesion.  Longstanding Department of Defense (DoD) policy (DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6130.03) provides that it is the policy of the DoD to ensure that service members are “[f]ree of medical conditions or physical defects that may reasonably be expected to require excessive time lost from duty for necessary treatment or hospitalization.”  As a result, many mental and physical health conditions are incompatible with active duty, from conditions that require substantial medication or medical treatment to bipolar and related disorders, eating disorders, suicidality, and prior psychiatric hospitalization.

Not surprisingly, the Court’s three liberal judges—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson—publicly dissented.

We will continue to see more efforts by the left to use the judicial system to thwart the agenda that the American people voted for, but make no mistake, this is a win for the Trump administration.
