Summary

On February 16, 2025, Washington state Judge Lauren King issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s January 28 executive order that restricts transgender care for minors.

The judge ruled the order unconstitutional for overstepping presidential authority under separation of powers and violating the Equal Protection Clause.

The injunction follows lawsuits by Democratic attorneys general from Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and temporary blocks in Baltimore.

    Why cling to the 2nd amendmend of the constitution and not make use of the means?

    A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    Highlights by me.
    Instructions unclear?

      Doing that means throwing everything away. Even if someone survives after starting a firefight, chances are they’ll get caught and imprisoned for life. It takes a lot of courage and commitment to do something on that degree, I find it understandable why people are a little hesitant.

      That said, Luigi did it. So can we.

        I’m a very peace loving person, but I understand that having peace is only possible if all involved parties keep peace; only one party or some parties keeping peace while others wage war is in the end no peace at all.
