Hegseth says ‘see you at SCOTUS’ after appeals court rules Trump admin illegally banned active transgender troops

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signaled he'll take the appeals court decision to the Supreme Court — tweeting "See you at SCOTUS" after the ruling.
A 2-1 D.C. Circuit panel found Hegseth's order to expel actively serving transgender troops unconstitutional (motivated by animus) but allowed the Pentagon to keep a ban on transgender enlistments.
The administration can appeal to the full D.C. Circuit or the Supreme Court; the high court previously allowed the ban to resume in an emergency order, so the legal fight is likely to continue.
