A federal appeals court on Thursday extended its block of a judge's order that directed President Trump to return control of California's National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The unanimous order from a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a victory for the president and allows for the continued deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, where they have been protecting federal property and U.S. immigration agents during enforcement operations.
That’s nice. But no court can end it. The Congress can override his emergency declaration, but the courts cannot cancel a declaration of emergency.
I suspect he’s already doing so.
Those CBS pricks can’t even call him PRESIDENT Trump. They keep referring to him as Mr Trump.
Nice, thank you...let’s round up the ILLEGALS!! We need to round up the NYC mayoral mandate, too ..
Local news “media” here in LA dont even hide their hatred for Trump anymore..every single day they dont even report on crime anymore, they just report wherever ICE shows up anywhere so people can go and protest
any lawyer could’ve told Newsom that
1. a POTUS has the power to nationalize the national guard
2. a court will, as a practical matter, not interfer anyway with crime control/guard action when the nightly news features (obviously-well-organized-and-financed) violent gang riots injuring innocent people, destroying property, and stealing/looting from shops
(3. everybody including the court realizes that the mayor and governor “failed to act” to protect the public... turning the situation back to them would’be been indefensible and inexcusable)
