Supreme Court just handed down a massive ruling that will have leftists in total meltdown

May 7, 2025

The nation’s highest court just delivered a decisive ruling for President Trump.

The Left’s agenda took a major hit.

And the Supreme Court just handed Donald Trump a massive ruling that will have leftists in total meltdown.

President Donald Trump is making good on his promises to transform the military back into a lethal fighting force rather than a social experiment laboratory.

In January, Trump signed an executive order banning transgender individuals from serving in the military, requiring the Department of Defense to update its guidance on “trans-identifying medical standards for military service” and “rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness.”

Predictably, leftist activists and their allies in the judiciary tried to block this commonsense policy.

But on Tuesday, the Supreme Court delivered a stunning blow to the radical Left by lifting a lower court’s injunction that had paused the Pentagon’s transgender military ban.

The high court’s order allows the Trump administration to immediately implement the policy while legal challenges work their way through the courts.

This decision represents a significant victory for military readiness and combat effectiveness.

Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration’s appeal and kept the lower court injunction in place. But their dissent wasn’t enough to stop Trump’s agenda from moving forward.

The case, Shilling v. United States, began when seven transgender military members sued the administration in Seattle federal court back in February.

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle, clearly operating from a left-wing agenda, had issued a preliminary injunction in March that blocked the administration from identifying and removing transgender service members.

In his politically motivated ruling, Settle characterized the ban as a “blanket prohibition on transgender service” and claimed the plaintiffs would likely succeed in their legal challenge.

Settle wrote that the government’s arguments were “not persuasive” and that it was “not an especially close question on this record.”

The judge’s injunction was designed to “maintain the status quo of military policy regarding both active-duty and prospective transgender service” that were in place prior to Trump’s January 27 executive order.

The administration quickly appealed this judicial overreach to the Ninth Circuit, but found no relief from that notoriously liberal court.

A three-judge panel composed entirely of Democrat appointees – Judges Atsushi Wallace Tashima (Clinton), John B. Owens (Obama), and Roopali H. Desai (Biden) – denied the administration’s request for a stay on March 31.

The Department of Justice remained steadfast, with an official telling Fox News Digital: “The Department of Justice has vigorously defended President Trump’s executive actions, including the Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness Executive Order, and will continue to do so.”

Shilling v. United States is just one of several legal challenges to the Trump administration’s military policy. Another notable case was filed in D.C. federal court, where U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes also initially blocked the ban.

But the Supreme Court has now effectively overruled these activist judges, allowing the Pentagon to restore its focus on military readiness rather than social engineering.

In its appeal, the administration argued that the policy “furthers the government’s important interests in military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and avoiding disproportionate costs.”

The Supreme Court’s decision validates the administration’s position that military policy should be decided by military leaders, not activist judges with no experience in national defense.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran himself, has been a vocal supporter of prioritizing combat effectiveness over social experimentation within the armed forces.

This Supreme Court victory follows Trump’s broader agenda of dismantling the DEI initiatives that flourished under the Biden administration.
