"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."The preamble to the constitution calls us to live in to our best ideals: establishing justice and promoting the general warfare.Over the last two months, we have witnessed the dismantling of justice and promoting the agenda of the top one percent over the common good.But just yesterday, courts ruled in this spirit. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes ruled against the trans military ban. Judge Reyes said “This ban is unjustifiable and attacks brave servicemembers, recruits, and families who sacrifice so much for our country.”On the same day, the Tenth District Court of Appeals ruled against Ohio’s ban on healthcare for trans youth as it violates “parents’ fundamental right to direct the medical care of their children”.Yesterday was a glimmer of light in a time of darkness. We will continue to work to secure the blessings of liberty for all people.
