Judge temporarily bars Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Los Angeles
A U.S. judge on Thursday temporarily barred Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Los Angeles, finding that the Guard was unlawfully mobilized by Trump.
Judge Charles Breyer ordered the National Guard to return to the control of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who sued to restrict its activity. Breyer's order will take effect at noon on Friday.
"The Court is troubled by the implication inherent in Defendants' argument that protest against the federal government, a core civil liberty protected by the First Amendment, can justify a finding of rebellion," Breyer wrote.
The Trump administration immediately appealed the judge's order.
Lemme guess. He's gonna appeal and another judge will pause this decision while they take their time to review the appeal, because Trump shows daily how deserving he is of the benefit of the doubt.
Meanwhile things keep escalating and people get hurt.
Right?
Keep giving fingers, keep losing arms. Trump relies on shortsightedness to advance, and there's plenty to go around. You falter, he swallows you whole before you can even react. Be cordial, get taken advantage of, like a sucker. 100 out of 100 times. Guaranteed.
Aaand it already happened...
Yup. Just saw it and came back to check if someone had already replied the obvious before I could. Thank you.
What a joke of a justice system. Things are where they are because as slow as Fat Blob Trump is, he's still faster than the law. By the time they finally decide to actually state his actions are illegal it'll be last year's news already, while another judge's order gets paused on the latest scandal of the day.
If the law were any good neither him or his ilk would even get the chance to run a first term. Because many of them would be jailed for all sorts of crimes, and the rest wouldn't dare to act with fear of the consequences. Weak men create hard times.
Countdown to "Far left Judge Breyer is a disgusting radical leftist who hates America and should be removed from his position!!"
Whatever he said, another group of fascist judges have already given him back control
Gotta love that everyone opposing Trump is named personally but the shadow “three person” appeals court isnt
"Breyer is leading an insurrection and must be put down!" /s
Yeah! Tell Trump he's breaking the law! That'll teach him!
(smh)
You don't just tell him. You also need a sternly worded letter too.
Have you considered resorting to a hard stare? I mean, it works every time in the Paddington movies.
Whats the overunder on Trump respecting this?
I’m more concerned with the military command respecting the court decision. They are the ones with the guns. That would be a problem.
Yeah, there's a problem in the assumption that this is a decision for Trump to make and that everyone under the executive just needs to wait for a decision from above about whether court orders should be obeyed. When the courts say an act was illegal, the default stance for a public employee should be to implement that instruction.
Friday at noon Gavin Newsome is their commander, whether or not Trump agrees. If they're going to refuse that, that's the guard itself deciding to act illegally, not a choice by Trump that they just have to follow.
Agreed. It doesn't matter if trump likes the decision or not. If the National Guard commanders (and soldiers) follow the governors orders, trump is out of the equation (on this one...for now).
Thats not how overunders work...
Over/unders need to have a numeric value, not a yes/no.
An over/under could be, "how quickly until trump disrespects this?" Or even better, state the line yourself. "Over/under 1 hour until trump appeals this?" Then people can actually pick under or over.
National guard no, US marines yes? Hmm.

The courts move at a relative snail's pace compared to how fast they need to be under Trump, and they need to use their judicial power to deputize people to actually start enforcing the law against the executive.
