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.

Unless the judge is literally beating him with a book titled “Legal Setback” in a fatal manner, her efforts aren’t going to do shit. Legal action against a man who’s above the law is like spitting on a fish.
A president has immunity, but people implementing everyday life tend to follow court orders if they contradict presidential decrees.
If they consult a lawyer, nearly every lawyer will advise to follow court orders. If they don’t, a court can order other authorities to enforce its decision with force, fines or jail time. Lay people don’t have diplomatic immunity.
Now if cops won’t enforce court orders, then yes… then I hope you’re all stocked up on batteries, brushless motors and flight controller stacks. But I hope that won’t happen.
So? He can just pardon them?
To my understanding, you cannot pardon someone whom a court fines or detains to force their compliance with their ruling in another case.
(It would be better if a lawyer answered that.)
the constitution? republicans just threw that out the moment they had control
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.
Sadly it’s a prime example for the paradox of tolerance and sooner or later people will act accordingly.
i never trusted the legal system anyway the only difference between a corrupt judge and a good one is how they rule on your case anyway
Why does this matter? The entire executive branch has said they will ignore the courts and that the courts have no power over them, cause 😝. Unless someone IN the executive branch enforces anything, it’s all just hot air blowing in the wind.
