Ninth Circuit Denies Another Trump-Pence Effort to Implement Transgender Military Ban<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Post submitted by Tom Warncke, Lambda Legal<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to implement its discriminatory plan to ban transgender people from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Services. Today\u2019s ruling in the lawsuit brought by Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN and joined by the State of Washington denied the administration\u2019s motion to stay the preliminary injunction a lower court granted in December 2017, and affirmed last month. The injunction blocks implementation of the ban and enables transgender people to continue enlisting in the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeven courts across the country have considered this so-called plan, and seven courts have recognized that there is no defensible reason to bar transgender Americans from serving our nation,\u201d Staff Sergeant Cathrine (Katie) Schmid said. \u201cBeing transgender has no impact on my ability to perform my duties. I\u2019m grateful that the courts to date have recognized the value in our service, and I look forward to the day when we can put this argument behind us and focus on what’s really important– the accomplishment of our mission, and the welfare of our service members.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ninth Circuit, much like the six other courts to have considered the proposed policy, has recognized it for what it is \u2013 blatant and impermissible discrimination.\u00a0 The court rejected the government\u2019s attempt to \u2018upend\u2019 the status quo, as well as the lives of transgender people serving and seeking to serve our country.\u201d said Lambda Legal Senior Attorney Peter Renn. \u201cIt has been one year since President Trump announced via tweet his plan to bar transgender people from the military, and in that year four district courts and, now, three courts of appeal have blocked its implementation. What more evidence does the administration need before it abandons this discriminatory and harmful scheme to prevent brave and qualified transgender people from serving their country?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ninth Circuit ruling holds that the stay requested by the government \u201cwould upend, rather than preserve, the status quo,\u201d which currently allows transgender people to serve in the military.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration had sought a stay from the Ninth Circuit while it appealed the\u00a0April 13<\/span>\u00a0ruling of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington affirming an earlier preliminary injunction and barring implementation of the transgender military ban.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0April 13<\/span>\u00a0ruling rejected the Trump administration\u2019s claim that its \u201cnew\u201d plan to ban transgender people from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Services, released\u00a0March 23<\/span>, passed muster. Instead, the court found that plan to be a retread of the original ban, not a new policy, threatening the very same constitutional violations. Furthermore, the court also found that the effort to ban transgender people from military service must meet the most demanding level of scrutiny because it so clearly targets transgender people.<\/p>\n

The case is on track to go to trial in April 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201dEvery court ruling has been consistent and unequivocal: the ban on transgender military service is discrimination, no matter how it\u2019s phrased and no matter the myriad ways the administration has tried to cloak its intent,\u201d OutServe-SLDN Legal Director Peter Perkowski said. \u201cThe administration has failed to come up with any adequate rationale for the president\u2019s ill-conceived tweets of last July that justifies their blatant discriminatory nature, and we are confident it never will.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, Lambda Legal and OutServe-SLDN represent nine individual plaintiffs \u2013 six currently serving members of the armed services and three individuals seeking to enlist \u2013 and three organizational plaintiffs: the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Seattle-based Gender Justice League, and the American Military Partner Association (AMPA), who joined the lawsuit on behalf of their transgender members harmed by the ban.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit is\u00a0Karnoski v. Trump.\u00a0<\/em>Read today\u2019s ruling here<\/a>.\u00a0Read more about the case here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Lambda Legal attorneys working on the case are: Peter Renn, Camilla B. Taylor, Tara Borelli, Sasha Buchert, Paul Castillo and Kara Ingelhart. They are joined by co-counsel Peter Perkowski of OutServe-SLDN. Also on the legal team are pro-bono co-counsel at Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Newman Du Wors LLP.<\/p>\n

Statements from Organizational Plaintiffs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Once again, another court has held off Donald Trump and Mike Pence’s desperate attempts to impose their extreme anti-LGBTQ agenda on the U.S. military,” said\u00a0HRC National Press Secretary Sarah McBride. “After a string of victories for transgender troops and enlistees at the district court level, this appeals court ruling reinforces that there is simply no need or legitimate reason to bar capable and willing transgender Americans from serving their country. We are grateful to Lambda Legal and Outserve-SLDN for their representation in this critical case, and we hope that the constitutional rights of transgender Americans will continue to be upheld by the courts as this case proceeds.”<\/p>\n

“The Trump-Pence administration’s continued insistence on targeting our nation’s transgender service members for discrimination is truly deplorable,” said\u00a0AMPA President Ashley Broadway-Mack. “These brave American volunteers have already proven their ability to serve by putting their lives on the line for our nation. What matters in service to our country is whether a person is able to accomplish the mission, not gender identity.”<\/p>\n
