The Department of Justice pushed back, requesting that Reyes dissolve her ruling. Instead of considering the request in good faith, the judge used the courtroom as her personal soapbox.
In Friday’s hearing, Judge Reyes blasted DOJ attorneys with irrelevant and politically charged questions—comparing the military’s spending on Viagra to the costs of gender transition treatments. This bizarre comparison seemed more like a stunt for media attention than a serious legal argument.
It’s clear Reyes had already made up her mind. The hearing, which should have been a serious legal review, devolved into a political spectacle.
“Judge” Reyes didn’t just rule from the bench—she sermonized. She mocked the Trump administration’s policy as if it were beneath her, disregarding any legitimate national security concerns. The Pentagon’s need for unit cohesion, physical readiness, and mission focus was brushed aside in favor of woke talking points.
Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Army officer and veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, was not about to let the judge’s antics slide. On Saturday, he unleashed a blistering rebuke on social media.
“Since ‘Judge’ Reyes is now a top military planner, she/they can report to Fort Benning at 0600 to instruct our Army Rangers on how to execute High Value Target Raids…after that, Commander Reyes can dispatch to Fort Bragg to train our Green Berets on counterinsurgency warfare,” Hegseth posted on X.
The post instantly went viral, igniting a firestorm of support from military families, veterans, and patriotic Americans sick of unelected judges making battlefield decisions from the comfort of a D.C. courtroom.

Hegseth’s point couldn’t be more clear: Our military isn’t a social experiment—it’s a warfighting machine. And decisions about combat readiness, training, and personnel policies should be made by those who’ve worn the uniform, not partisan judges playing political games.
As the Biden administration continues to stack federal courts with far-left ideologues, this case is just one example of how judicial activism can undermine national security. Americans should be alarmed when political appointees with zero military experience think they know better than seasoned commanders.
While the Trump administration fights to keep America’s military focused and formidable, it’s facing resistance not just from the usual D.C. bureaucrats—but now from the bench itself. Judge Reyes’ actions prove that the war on wokeness isn’t over. It’s just beginning.
And this time, the battlefield is the courtroom.
