The Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to implement its ban on transgender military service members, originally signed into order during his second term. This policy essentially mirrors one from his first term, which had been temporarily suspended under President Biden. The decision is expected to be reviewed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, the papal conclave commenced in the Vatican to elect a successor to Pope Francis, with cardinals focusing on the religious aspects of the process rather than political concerns.
The fact that the Supreme Court allowed the ban to proceed now, even on a temporary basis, is a strong indicator the administration is likely to prevail in the long run.
The order appears to strengthen the order from the first administration by barring transgender individuals from enlisting and discharging active duty transgender service members.
Cardinal Czemy states he considers this primarily a religious experience, and the cardinals are not focused on church or world politics.
