Three Key Takeaways:
- Pete Hegseth was left speechless after a judge’s ruling, which criticized Trump’s transgender military ban and invoked a line from Hamilton instead of the Declaration of Independence.
- Judge Ana Reyes, appointed by President Biden, used her ruling to challenge Trump’s authority over military standards, leading to claims of judicial overreach and a politicized legal system.
- Critics, including Stephen Miller, argue that activist judges are undermining the Constitution and attempting to seize control of the presidency through “lawfare.”
Democrat judges are using lawfare to gum up the works for the Trump administration.
Things are getting out of hand.
And Pete Hegseth heard one unthinkable insult from a judge that left him in stunned silence.
Democrat judge cites a musical to force Pentagon to rehire transgender troops
President Donald Trump is facing an avalanche of lawsuits to stop his agenda.
Activist District Court judges have launched a judicial coup against his administration.
These judges are overstepping their authority to micromanage the Presidency from the bench.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Trump are rooting wokeness out of the military.
Trump issued an executive order banning transgenders from serving in the military.
14 transgender soldiers filed a lawsuit arguing that Trump violated their rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the 5th Amendment.
D.C. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, a lesbian appointed by President Joe Biden, struck down the ban on transgender troops.
According to Reyes, the President no longer has control over the standards of the military.
Reyes insulted the court by citing the musical Hamilton, a phenomenon with Democrats, in her decision.
She used the line “all people are created equal” from Hamilton instead of “all men are created equal” from the Declaration of Independence in her ruling.
Democrats are mocking Trump and the Constitution
A Harvard-educated judge citing a musical to unconstitutionally restrain Trump’s power as President made a mockery of the legal system.
“The President and Defendants could have crafted a policy that balances the Nation’s need for a prepared military and Americans’ right to equal protection. They still can. The Military Ban, however, is not that policy. The Court therefore must act to uphold the equal protection rights that the military defends every day. The Court’s opinion is long, but its premise is simple. In the self-evident truth that ‘all people are created equal,’ all means all. Nothing more. And certainly nothing less,” Reyes wrote.
Reyes said in the footnotes of her decision that she used Hamilton’s “all people are created equal” line because women didn’t get the right to vote until 1920.
She revised the Declaration of Independence with a line from a musical that features the Founding Fathers rapping.
“Leaders have used concern for military readiness to deny marginalized persons,” Reyes claimed. “First minorities, then women in combat, then gays filled in that blank. Today, however, our military is stronger and our Nation is safer for the millions of such blanks (and all other persons) who serve.”
The Biden-appointed judge claimed that Trump’s executive order banning transgender troops was “soaked in animus and dripping with pretext.”
Reyes has a long history of being a left-wing political activist.
She boasted about representing illegal aliens and worked for the Feminist Majority Foundation to oppose a ban on affirmative action.
White House Deputy of Chief Staff Stephen Miller blasted the ruling.
“District court judges have now decided they are in command of the Armed Forces…is there no end to this madness?” Miller wrote on X.

District Court judges are trying to illegally seize control of the Presidency away from Donald Trump.
