The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court just handed President Donald Trump a win that has Democrats outraged. 

Fox News reports that the justices just gave the green light to the Department of State to implement a policy requiring applicants to indicate their biological sex on passports.

The decision was 6-3, with the court's three liberal justices - Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan - all dissenting.

The decision

Fox explains that this case has to do with a Biden-era policy that President Trump reversed by executive order upon stepping into office.

The outlet writes:

The policy, which reversed the Biden administration's allowance of an "X" gender option on passports, was implemented as part of a string of executive orders Trump issued when he took office aimed at requiring transgender people to identify as their biological sex in certain situations, including in gender-exclusive sports and in the military.

The move was immediately challenged in the courts, and the Trump administration actually lost at the lower court levels, albeit in preliminary battles. This led to an emergency appeal by the Trump administration to the Supreme Court. The justices granted that appeal.

Now, the high court has given Trump a preliminary victory.

According to Breitbart News, the majority, in part, wrote:

Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment

Trump admin celebrates

At the time of this writing, President Trump has yet to release a public statement on the Supreme Court's decision. However, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has.

"Attorneys at @TheJusticeDept just secured our 24th victory at the Supreme Court’s emergency docket," the attorney general wrote on social media. 

She continued:

Today’s stay allows the government to require citizens to list their biological sex on their passport. In other words: there are two sexes, and our attorneys will continue fighting for that simple truth.

It is worth highlighting the fact that this is a preliminary victory for the Trump administration. In other words, a final decision on the merits has yet to be made.

This decision from the Supreme Court, however, bodes very well for the Trump administration, which is now allowed to proceed with the implementation of the passport policy while the case continues to play out in the courts.
