       The #DOJ in a filing requested that #SCOTUS lift Seattle-based US Judge District Benjamin Settle's nationwide order blocking the #military from carrying out #Trump's prohibition on #transgender service members while a #legal challenge to the policy proceeds. Settle found that Trump's executive order likely violates the U.S. #Constitution's #FifthAmendment right to #equal #protection under the #law.#CivilRights #HumanRights #TransgenderRights #EqualRights  #democracy #LGBTQ+ #Equality

       @Nonilex Excellent idea to use the #FifthAmendment argument.  Years of trans servicemembers show that there is no basis for Republican efforts to ban them now.

       @Nonilex This is an end run around the legal process. They will fire people and then claim it's too difficult to bring them back when/if they lose in court.
