The US Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump Administration’s transgender military ban to take effect.
The Supreme Court stayed the lower court’s preliminary injunction on the transgender military ban pending appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The high court made the decision 6-3. Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson would have denied the application.
There was no explanation included in the Supreme Court’s decision.

Last month President Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court temporarily blocked his ban on transgender troops.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, stacked with leftist judges, previously denied the Trump Administration’s stay of injunction on the transgender troop ban a couple of weeks ago.
The three judges: Wallace Tashima (Clinton), John Owens (Obama), and Roopali Desai (Biden) denied the request for a stay.
In January President Trump signed the “Restoring America’s Fighting Force” executive order and the “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” executive orders, which direct every element of the U.S. military to “operate free from any preference based on race or sex” and root out gender insanity and made up pronoun usage, respectively.
In March US District Judge Benjamin Hale Settle in Washington State issued a nationwide preliminary injunction.
Judge Settle, a George W. Bush appointee, said the Trump DOJ’s arguments have not been persuasive.
President Trump’s DOJ filed an appeal, and the DC Circuit Court denied the administration’s motion to stay Judge Settle’s preliminary injunction.
“Appellants have not demonstrated that they will suffer irreparable harm absent a stay,” the appeals court said in a previous order.
The Supreme Court stayed the lower court’s injunction while the case proceeds.
