In a court filing that reads more like a culture war manifesto than a legal argument, disgraced former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and conservative allies this week urged a federal appeals court to uphold President Donald Trump’s renewed ban on transgender military service. Their amicus brief in Talbott v. United States not only casts transgender people as mentally ill and dangerous, it argues that courts have no power to review the president’s military policies at all — a claim legal scholars say veers toward authoritarianism.
