In a major ruling late Thursday night, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously held that President Donald Trump acted within his authority in federalizing and deploying California National Guard troops to Los Angeles, overriding the objections of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.
As of this writing, some 4,700 US military personnel—including 4,000 members of the California National Guard—have been federalized by the Trump administration in response to protests against ongoing immigration raids across Southern California. Hundreds of troops are now deployed throughout Los Angeles, as masked and unaccountable immigration Gestapo agents continue to brutally assault, detain and disappear residents, workers and even US citizens on a daily basis.
Welp, this is the consequence of being able to pack the courts with your own appointed judges.
It was unanimous, I didn’t think Trump fully controlled any courts?
One of then was from Biden:
Thursday’s 3–0 ruling—issued by Judges Mark J. Bennett and Eric D. Miller, both Trump appointees, and Jennifer Sung, a Biden appointee—extends the stay and marks a clear victory for the Trump administration and its ongoing drive to establish a presidential dictatorship.
Whelp, guess we are venturing closer to civil war territory. I honestly hoped not, but this is not a good sign.
Civil war at home and world war 3 abroad. Perfect timing
Well, history tells us that it is very difficult for a country to do both at the same time. See Russia, Red October vs. WWI
The 9th is shit, their rulings have done so much damage for years
In their unsigned 38-page ruling, the judges concluded that Trump “lawfully exercised his statutory authority under § 12406(3), which authorizes federalization of the National Guard when ‘the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.’”
I wouldn’t sign my name to such blatantly wrong tripe either. I’m ready to Civil War. Who’s with me?
Has anyone signed up for napkins, yet?
Napkins or serviettes?
this is the result of relying on decorum and norms for a century and a half instead of passing laws.
Americas always been fascist, they just historically held themselves as different and only took the mask off for socialist movements.
Precisely. Trump merely took off the mask of facade. People have been asking for authenticity and elected Trump. And here you go, America as it truly is.
And it will continue to be this way because Congress isn’t really functional. They kept giving power to the office of the president because it was convenient. They won’t try to take it back.
Germany annexes Austria, 1938, orangised
(Just a dumb joke, not comparable at all)
