Lawyers have a notoriously bad (and often well-earned) reputation. But one thing you have to hand them is this: If there's a loophole, they'll find it.
Such appears to be the case with those advising the Trump administration as it navigates the bevy of lawsuits filed in an effort to #ResistWeMuch its efforts to enforce immigration law and restore law and order to a number of blue cities and states.
As Jennifer Oliver O'Connell reported, on Saturday, an Oregon district court judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the administration's deployment of 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.
n a 31-page opinion and order (which the administration has already appealed), Judge Karin Immergut (who was appointed by Trump in 2019) concluded that President Trump's determination that federal law enforcement officers were unable to execute federal law (thus necessitating the deployment) was "untethered to the facts," and further “'interfere[d] with the constitutional balance of power between the federal and state governments' by federalizing state National Guardsmen for federal service when no statutory or constitutional authority permitted their federalization." Immergut thus enjoined "Defendants’ September 28, 2025, Memorandum ordering the federalization and deployment of Oregon National Guard service members to Portland."
Here's the catch: That order applies to Oregon National Guard members. So, it seems, the president has seen fit to deploy California National Guard members instead.

There goes the efforts of McConnell’s Oregon Article III stooge Immergut.
Now, she’s Immerschlecht.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
All Credit due to Trump on this as laws meant to be twisted and used against Democrats at every chance!
A Trump judge? Someone suggested by McConnell ?
“””A Trump judge? Someone suggested by McConnell ?””
Trump judge in 2019. Biden put her on the FISA court last year. Not hard to figure out where she stands.
Is that the Reverend Al cabal?
Three-dimensional chess.
And, DJT lives in their heads rent-free.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.
Military is yours Mr. President.
So what’s to stop this btch from just issuing another order on behalf of the same plaintiff?
She would be declaring that she is the boss of the California National Guard and the Oregon National Guard - not the executive of the United States.
It is to laugh.
Well Biden didn’t his handlers aka pardon team did as last year at this time Biden didn’t know what century it was.
“””Well Biden didn’t his handlers aka pardon team did “”
Yes.
Just do it!
Thanks, that’s a straight answer.
I read that the judge was suggested by Oregon’s two senators, something about a ‘blue slip’, and that Pres. Trump approved her as part of a political deal with the demonicrats.
