In July, Trump promised to ban transgender people from serving in the military. In August, he signed a memorandum instructing the military not to accept transgender recruits and to stop all funding of sex-reassignment surgeries. Luckily, supreme court judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has halted the ban for now.
This article was written at NBC News by Reuters at 2:30 today. Before reading this article, I knew Trump had issued the ban, but I wasn't sure if it was being enforced or not. Because I didn’t know this before, I have a higher appreciation of this judge’s actions. The main idea of this article is that someone has put a stop, even if it may be temporary, to Trump's transgender military ban. I imagine it has a positive effect on its audience; it certainly had a positive effect on me. I’m incredibly happy that this judge has taken a stand and put a stop to this, because it’s everyone’s constitutional right to serve their country.
Synthesis: This article is similar to the court case of Marbury v. Madison, where a supreme court judge gained the power to veto a low based on constitutionality. That is exactly what happened here.
this is so awesome! if our government starts to fight back against trump and his executive branch we can make change! Checks and balances
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how the many members of the federal government are slowly turning on Trump, because it seems that people disagree with him more and more every day.
