Federal Judge Orders Trump Admin to End Deployment of National Guard in DC

The District of Colombia is not a state. There is no basis for the 10th Amendment. I don't understand the judge's reasoning.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I don't understand the judge's reasoning.

Orange man bad. Crime GOOD!

[2nd Amendment]

Federal judge rules Moses cannot lead Israelites out of Egypt!

[metmom]

Now there’s one for The Babylon Bee.

[Svartalfiar]

The judge said the president only has authority to call up the National Guard “through the exercise of a specific power outlined in state law,” and not for “whatever reason” he sees fit.

Huh? Why would the President be enforcing State law at all? Not to mention DC is gravely lacking in State laws.. I don't think they've passed any at all!

Judges now control the Military , the President controls nothing

[Ronald77]

Hey judge, don’t look down that barrel it might be loaded.

She's an akata Boss Girl, appointed by The Autopen.

Looks like Miss Piggy, only not as cute.

[Frank Drebin]

No.

[Candor7]

Trump does not have to obey this order. The judge has no jurisdiction to make it.The issue does not even rise to the level of separation of powers litigation.

The order is void ab initio.

Punishable by death!’ Trump notes ‘execution’ is traditional penalty for sedition

The “DC government” is not the analog of a State, it has no legitimacy as it violates the power delegated to Congress to legislate for the District “in all cases whatsoever”, the President does not even need to discuss the security of the District with this “government”.

[ByteMercenary]

Withdraw the troops and watch the bad guys crawl back out of their cesspools and start preying on the citizens again.

As the robberies and murders start again I would like to see the families of the first few murder victims post a multi-million $$ lawsuit against this judge. DC is full of smarmy legal beagles ... some or several of them could take the case.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

The US Constitution states that the state laws of Maryland and Virginia apply to DC. Some Fed judges tend to grab power.

[odawg]

Well, anyway, the democrats have decided that we no longer have to obey orders we think are wrong. So, tell the judge to go to hell.

[frank ballenger]

Everyone said “well, DC isn’t a state and the President has control but watch out for court rulings if he tries it in other places.”

What happened to that?

[blueyon]

Then Pull the National Guard - give it a month and people will be begging Trump to act.

[frank ballenger]

Yes in the newly expanded judges’ wing. Already crowded in that part of Hell.

[piytar]

That covers it.

BTW Hope Trump just ignores this idiot judge.

[justrepublican]

I'm so tired of these feral judges.
