(Via Politico) – A federal appeals court panel has backed President Donald Trump’s authority to send National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon, concluding that though the president’s claims on social media “may exaggerate” the violence in the city, he may still have had a valid basis for the deployment.

A president has the right to deploy troops from the national guard, or any other unit of the military to any location that he sees fit... Both in America, and everywhere else in the world. After all... He is the Commander in Chief.

I love that the President has to have the courts first tell him how he can do his job.

Still having trouble finding that in the Constitution though...
