Members of the federal judiciary are taking their scrutiny of President Trump’s executive orders to a new level, going so far as to weigh in on his administration’s authority to remove content about gender ideology from federal web pages. 

A district court judge at Washington, D.C., John Bates, ordered federal health agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration to restore sex and gender content to their websites by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday.
