DOJ: Trump's National Guard deployment can't be second-guessed by the courts
lawandcrime.com
The DOJ urged the court to issue an emergency stay and allow the Trump administration's deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles.

During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

U.S. Circuit Judges Mark Bennett and Eric Miller, both appointees of President Donald Trump, and Jennifer Sung, an appointee of President Joe Biden, presided over the hearing, which began at noon on the West Coast.

    You make the mistake of thinking all of this is happening against the Americans’ will.

    The magats like this when it happens to others. Until the fascists come for them that is, and then they’ll bitch and moan that it isn’t what they voted for. But it’ll be too late at that point.

    Just like the Germans 90 years ago.

          While you’re waiting, innocent people are going to die. Your inaction is actively aiding the fascists.

            👆 This.

            “Oh you’re inciting violence.”

            Yes I am. Because MAGAts are already shooting up gay bars and clubs, assaulting and killing elected democrat politicians and holding fucking neo-Nazi marches against the LGBT. The Trump administration is already using violence. They’re sending ICE to kidnap both legal and illegal immigrants that have constitutional rights and sending them to prisons in foreign countries without a warrant or even a trial. They’re sending the fucking national guard and the matines against your asses and building alligator Alcatraz to hold you there. And Trump and his goons are saying the Supreme Court judges can’t stop him if he does anything illegal or unconstitutional. He’s gone full dictator.

            If that’s not reason enough for people to start bearing arms, then I don’t know what does and you guys and everybody else in the world are fucked.

            If YOU don’t bear arms, soon I’ll have to, in order to kill your asses when you start invading Canada. And I swear to you that I won’t hesitate to pull that trigger.
