As we've seen in the last few weeks, it appears that many federal judges have taken it upon themselves to try and overrule the Executive Branch on matters of enforcing immigration laws, and now the kinds of policies that are set by the Secretary of Defense for servicemembers.
Here's the latest example:
U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes orders Pentagon to allow transgender troops, calls Trump ban ‘unabashedly demeaning’https://t.co/gjY4PiB74Y pic.twitter.com/krFhOCKxvi

From the Washington Times:
A federal judge on Tuesday issued an injunction blocking the administration’s new policy ushering transgender troops out of the military, spanking President Trump’s team for what she called an “unabashedly demeaning” ban.
U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden appointee to the district court in Washington, said transgender troops have been serving openly since 2021 and there’s no evidence they have hurt military readiness.
She said banning them amounts to discrimination on the basis of sex.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded to "Commander Reyes" with what is essentially a middle finger to any attempts to run the Pentagon on his behalf:
Since “Judge” Reyes is now a top military planner, she/they can report to Fort Benning at 0600 to instruct our Army Rangers on how to execute High Value Target Raids…after that, Commander Reyes can dispatch to Fort Bragg to train our Green Berets on counterinsurgency warfare. https://t.co/CNrl252Irs

What are the odds "Commander Reyes" shows up for those assignments?
Hell to the yes! Pete’s getting salty! 💪🇺🇸🔥

That's the kind of saltiness we voted for.
I don't think she's going to take you up on that offer, secretary. Just a hunch. pic.twitter.com/WcBu1HJZc6

Something tells me she/they won’t show up. 🤣 https://t.co/yIeYgEBaUr

We'd bet the ranch that she/they will not show up.

The military is for national defense. It's not an outlet for "woke moral crusading," and the country will cease to exist if we allow it to be that. pic.twitter.com/faJgUrsxGx

The Left needs to understand that their time using our military for social experiments is over.
