Is the ban on military service for transgender people unconstitutional?  Eric
Merriam thinks so.  He’s a law professor at the University of Central
Florida who has worked for the Air Force both as a Judge Advocate General Corps
officer and as a professor at the Air Force Academy.  He thinks the ban,
allegedly justified by something called “unit cohesion,” is actually based upon
unconstitutional animus aimed at trans people."

Your Weekly Constitutional is hosted by Constitutional Law Professor Stewart Harris. Stewart teaches Constitutional Law at the Appalachian School of Law (ASL) in Grundy, Virginia. In 2011, Professor Harris created a public radio show, Your Weekly Constitutional, which is produced at WETS-FM, the NPR affiliate in Johnson City, Tennessee, and syndicated nationally.  YWC is underwritten by the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at Montpelier, the historic home of the Father of the Constitution, James Madison.
