A federal judge just blocked President Trump’s executive order protecting minors from transgender medicine and surgeries.

Joe Biden-appointed Judge Lauren King claims the order violates the Fifth Amendment’s equal protection clause, which she says bans the federal government from “treating people differently based on sex or transgender status.”

Here’s the news from NTD:

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Feb. 28, extending the block on President Donald Trump’s executive order that seeks to halt funding for transgender procedures for youth under 19.

This injunction followed a temporary restraining order that U.S. District Judge Lauren King issued on Feb. 14 in response to a lawsuit filed by the attorneys general of Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, and Colorado. Three doctors also joined as plaintiffs.

In Friday’s order, King said the plaintiffs have demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that Trump’s order violates the Constitution’s separation of powers by attempting to usurp Congress’s power in appropriating federal funds.

“The Court’s holding here is not about the policy goals that President Trump seeks to advance; rather, it is about reaffirming the structural integrity of the Constitution by ensuring that executive action respects congressional authority,” the judge stated.

King said the plaintiffs have also shown a likelihood of success in their claim that the order violates the Fifth Amendment’s right to equal protection, which prohibits the federal government from “treating people differently based on sex or transgender status.”

I hope this is already on appeal because this ruling is absolute garbage. The Fifth Amendment is about protecting an individual’s due process and NOT about anything related to allowing people to brainwash and mutilate children.
