'Trump's trans military ban garners meaningless (for now) court victory' & other Fri afternoon news briefs


Appeals Court Gives Trump First Win on Trans Military Ban - For now, the ruling is essentially meaningless. The ruling only eliminated one injunction against the ban. It still can't take place because of other court injunctions. Still, it is a drag to hear groups like the Family Research Council crow over it.

The Federal Judges Who Ruled in Favor of Trump’s Trans Ban Don’t Understand What It Means to Be Trans - According to The Slate, ignorance about the transgender community led to the ruling.

You can read how the Family Research Council is crowing about the decision via this link, but it would be more pertinent to remember (via this link) how the hate group helped Pence to craft false reasoning for the ban via junk science in contradiction to the information put out by the committee picked to investigate the issue.

Lesbian EEOC appointment dies in Senate - It took them a number of years and a bunch of lies (remember when they falsely claimed she said "gays win Christians lose" ) but those bastards finally got Ms. Feldblum removed from EEOC.
