US Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce transgender military ban while the case makes it through the lower courts (www.bbc.com)

In March, a federal judge in Washington state ordered a nationwide halt on the administration's ban, saying the government failed to show it would enhance "unit cohesion, good order or discipline".

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals did not block the lower court's ruling, keeping the injunction in place.

With the Supreme Court order, that pause will lift while the servicemembers' lawsuit makes its way through lower courts.

"Today's Supreme Court ruling is a devastating blow to transgender servicemembers who have demonstrated their capabilities and commitment to our nation's defense," Lambda Legal and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which are representing the plaintiffs, said in a joint statement.

"By allowing this discriminatory ban to take effect while our challenge continues, the Court has temporarily sanctioned a policy that has nothing to do with military readiness and everything to do with prejudice," it said.

"We're not sure if this is allowed, so we'll let him ruin lives and military careers while it gets hashed out."

Dumb as fuck.
