Trump administration lawyers argued in court late Wednesday night that it’s too soon for federal courts to consider blocking President Trump's ban on transgender people in the military, because the Pentagon hasn’t even finalized the ban's details yet.

"That challenge is premature several times over," said a brief submitted in US District Court in Washington, DC, by the Justice Department, which is representing Trump and military brass in the case of several transgender soldiers who have sued to repeal the ban.

This is the first time federal lawyers have attempted to defend Trump’s policy in court. The president has claimed the policy is necessary for a strong military, but rather than vindicate that argument directly, Trump’s attorneys argue it is too early to consider suspending the ban now.

"No actual discharge or denial of accession has occurred, and they will not suffer a hardship if the Court withholds consideration until after the policies challenged in this case are implemented and are found to impact Plaintiffs," the government attorneys continued in their 44-page brief.

1. Wrong....

It is the right time.

This is the same thing as "we should not discuss the shooting today."
Well you are setting forth discrimination. FULL STOP.
Just like the congress-critters, the courts have been packed with men that left their balls in wife's purse for safe keeping.

Maybe a field event where separate accommodations may not be present, then that type of deployment may not appropriate.
Nevertheless, there are 1000's of jobs that any person can perform regardless of sexual identity, religious beliefs, etc.

Those are called "Desk Jobs".
Well some may have a desk like cooks, sanitation, etc.

Get this Mother F#$%ing narcissist hater [500 other adjectives] impeached NOW !

2. Transgender soldiers say medical treatments have been canceled and their careers are being derailed

Trump has already sabotaged these troops just like he is sabotaging the #ACA

"No actual discharge or denial of accession has occurred, and they will not suffer a hardship if the Court withholds consideration until after the polic ies challenged in this case are implemented and are found to impact Plaintiffs," the government attorneys continued in their 44-page brief.

They added the case should be dismissed outright: "The Court should therefore dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction."

But six transgender soldiers who sued to overturn the policy have argued they are already suffering and need immediate relief. They asked the court in August to block Trump’s order, which had directed the Department of Defense to prohibit service by transgender people by March 23, 2018. With that deadline in sight, the soldiers say some medical treatments have been canceled and their careers are being derailed.
