In the article by Dave Phillips, "Judge Blocks Trump’s Ban on Transgender Troops in Military" the piece shows that not all political figures take the Constitution lightly. The Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly is a significant example of this. She is a Federal Judge from the District of Colombia, who has made a temporary block against a White House policy. One of which that has created a tremendous amount of controversy, Trump wanted to pass the policy against Transgender troops. The plan would not allow the service of Transgender people in the military. The motive for Trumps suggestion to adopt this policy was due to his “disapproval of Transgender people in general.”
However, Judge Kollar-Kotelly made it very clear the plan would be unconstitutional in a 76 page ruling against the proposal: “There is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effective on the military at all.” says Judge Kollar-Kotelly. The Judge's repeal against the policy reassured supporters and members of the LGBTQ community. There have been a few issues that arose from this verdict, but civil rights groups have made more lawsuits against the plan and the administration. Although, some lawsuits are still pending. The article gives a well-detailed cover on the people who are trying to help LGBTQ community as well as the steps they're taking to fix the government from the inside out. People like Judge Koller-Kotelly help to interpret the constitution, as well as fight for those who fight for the rights of others.
