Last year, the high court provided an interim victory for the administration by allowing the policy to remain temporarily. The Department of Justice filed a petition for the Court to review whether the policy, which bars people with gender dysphoria from military service, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >violates constitutional equal rights protections<\/a>, a view supported by lower courts that deemed the policy arbitrary and motivated by bias against transgender people. solicitor General D. John Sauer emphasized the importance of military authority in setting service standards and urged the Court to reverse lower court decisions that restrict this authority. The Supreme Court, currently on summer recess, is expected to decide whether to hear the case by October or later in its upcoming term.<\/p>\n<p>The case&#8217;s resolution could impact the broader debate over transgender rights in the military and beyond. Previously, the Court allowed the policy to stay in effect, and a separate legal challenge continues in the Ninth Circuit. Transgender issues have been a prominent topic for the Trump administration at the Supreme Court,which has seen several favorable rulings,including decisions upholding policies on sports,passports reflecting biological sex,and other related matters. The Court&#8217;s eventual ruling on this appeal will considerably influence the military&#8217;s authority to set service eligibility standards related to gender identity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"339\">Trump administration<\/a> is urging the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"203\">Supreme Court<\/a> to hear its appeal of a lawsuit over its policy barring transgender people from the military, a policy for which the high court <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3402784\/supreme-court-transgender-military-ban-trump\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3402784\/supreme-court-transgender-military-ban-trump\/\">handed the administration an interim win<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Justice filed a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/glad-org-wpom.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20260828_Talbott-USA_Writ-of-Certiorari.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/glad-org-wpom.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20260828_Talbott-USA_Writ-of-Certiorari.pdf\">petition<\/a> for writ of certiorari to the justices late last week, asking the Supreme Court to look at whether the Department of War policy, which bars people with gender dysphoria from serving in the military, violates constitutional equal rights protections, as lower federal courts have found.

Whether the Constitution prohibits the military from exercising that authority by adopting a policy like the one here is a recurring issue, which has arisen before and will likely arise again absent this Court\u2019s review,\u201d Sauer wrote, noting the policy was previously adopted under the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Court should thus take this opportunity to address the constitutionality of the Hegseth policy and reverse the decision below, whose reasoning cannot be squared with this Court\u2019s precedents or deference to the military,\u201d Sauer added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The D.C. Circuit\u2019s ruling\u00a0limited its scope to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/appeals-court-strikes-down-war-departments-ban-on-transgender-troops\/\" title=\"Appeals ... strikes down War Department&#039;s ban on transgender troops\">current transgender-identifying service members<\/a> who were part of the lawsuit, meaning the Trump administration\u2019s ban has remained in effect for transgender-identifying people not already in the military who are seeking to join. In a separate lawsuit still working its way through the 9th Circuit, a federal court had attempted to block the policy completely, but the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the policy to remain in place in the interim. The May 2025 emergency docket ruling did not have any explanation from the six-justice majority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court is currently in its summer recess and is expected to return to reviewing petitions in the coming weeks when it resumes closed-door conferences in its upcoming term. The earliest the high court is likely to say whether it will take up the case is October or later this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4706827\/supreme-court-trump-white-house-ballroom-continue\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4706827\">SUPREME COURT ALLOWS TRUMP TO CONTINUE WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transgender issues have been a winning topic for the Trump administration at the Supreme Court, where it has notched wins on both the emergency docket and the merits docket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, the Supreme Court upheld state laws <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4568174\/supreme-court-upholds-ban-biological-men-womens-sports\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4568174\/supreme-court-upholds-ban-biological-men-womens-sports\/\">barring biological men from women\u2019s sports<\/a>, a policy which the administration championed, and last year the high court allowed the administration\u2019s rule\u00a0mandating that passports must\u00a0reflect<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3878384\/supreme-court-hands-trump-a-win-on-passport-biological-sex-rule\/\"> a person\u2019s biological sex<\/a>, rather than his or her gender identity, also via its emergency docket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump urges Supreme Court to review transgender military ban appeal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2653154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AP26013600400023.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[41110,39947,32275,68523,32640],"class_list":["post-2653153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-lgbt-rights","tag-military-policy","tag-supreme-court","tag-transgender-military-ban","tag-trump-administration"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AP26013600400023.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2653153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2653153"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2653153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2653157,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2653153\/revisions\/2653157"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2653154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2653153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2653153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2653153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
