Trump asks Supreme Court to hear challenge on transgender military ban
The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to take up the president's transgender military ban.
Solicitor General Noel Francisco filed a petition to Supreme Court justices Friday asking them to hear the issue currently being debated in three lower courts in order to have the case decided quicker, according to CNN.
Francisco also argued that the injunctions issued by lower courts warrant review for harming the military.
Trump first announced on Twitter his intention to ban transgender people from serving in the military in July 2017. In March of this year he signed a memo written by Defense Secretary James Mattis that banned most transgender people from serving in the military “except under certain limited circumstances."
