WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Democrats were outraged by an appeals court ruling that permitted the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces to command the armed forces.
Democratic leaders said that the ruling was a clear and present threat to American democracy and they feared for the future of a country where the person in charge of things could actually be in charge of things.
"This is an extremely dangerous precedent for the court to set," said Senator Cory Booker. "There is no way that the president should be allowed to exercise his constitutional authority to tell the U.S. Armed Forces what to do, as though he were somehow their highest-ranking commanding officer. These activist judges are trying to make Trump out to be some type of president or something."
The criticism was supported by revered constitution scholar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Trump should not be allowed to command the National Guard just because he's the Commander in Chief," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Who does he think he is? Everybody knows that federal judges are supposed to give the armed forces their orders. Trump is basically insurrecting the government again."
Democrats' backlash against the court ruling left many commentators confused. "I'm not quite sure how to break this to them," said Brian Vogel, who has read the Constitution all the way through. "Pretty sure this falls under the executive authority of the president as commander in chief, though. But that's just my interpretation."
At publishing time, Democrats were so outraged by Trump's overreach that they threatened to impeach the president for acting as the president.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
they understand the constitution sufficiently to attack, denograte, and undermine almost every clause in it
This makes anarchy much more difficult for them.
Democrats are good for nothing. But then neither are RINOs.
They’re not even good for comic relief.
Stick a fork in them.
Sorry, ... however, I tried.
I thought The Bee was supposed to be a satire site ...
This looks awfully like straight reporting.
Except maybe the Sandy Cortez “quote”. She’d never be that honest.
"Democrats Outraged After Court Rules Commander-In-Chief Of Armed Forces Can Command Armed Forces"
I enjoy the Bee.
But when judges decide against elite, Constitution-ignoring Democrats, I wish that patriots like the Bee would also point out that the Constitution doesn't give possibly activist judges a choice to support Democrats on many issues.
"Article I, Section 8' Clause 15 (1.8.15): To provide for calling forth the Militia [all emphases added] to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;"
Should have been *Not the Bee*.
We’re all on your side, Amendment10!
