Appeals Court Grants Administrative Stay to Keep National Guard in D.C.
Townhall ^ | 12/4/25 | Scott McClallen

Posted on 12/04/2025 2:34:04 PM PST by CFW

An Appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can continue deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C.

The Washington D.C. Court of Appeals order is an administrative stay, not a ruling on the merits, according to the Dec. 4 order.

“Ordered that the district court’s November 20, 2025 order be administratively stayed pending further order of this court. The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the motion for stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion.”

How is the disposition of Federal troops within the jurisdiction of any court?

Federal troops in a federal district. Seems like a slam dunk case to me.

Back before activist federal judges were appointed to the bench by President auto-pen, you would have been correct.

I’ll try to remember to capitalize Auto-Pen in the future.

Also today, SUPREME COURT LETS TEXAS USE GOP-DRAWN VOTING MAP IN 2026

Activist judge rejected. Again

Funny, I thought the U.S. Constitution had an Article 2 in it. I guess there is only Article 1 and 3. I should get a new glasses prescription.

In another decision, a higher appeals court decided to allow Donald Trump to use the White House rest rooms.

Subject to later SCOTUS decision.

When the old gatherings used portable toilets some of them were around just in case the ruling went the wrong way.

Important moments in US history——
Obama Administration: Used them for large outdoor events, installing the first all-gender restroom in the EEOB in 2015 for staff/visitors.
Trump Inauguration (2017): A major incident involved taping over the “Don’s Johns” logos on porta-potties, citing advertising rules, much to the company’s chagrin.
Easter Egg Roll (2012): A lawsuit was filed after a woman fell on wet flooring outside portable toilets.

Especially after a terrorist killed on National Guard member in uniform and on duty, and injured another.

Aren’t all Port-a-Potties gender neutral?

So let me get this straight. There’s a “judge” who doesn’t believe the CINC can deploy troops where he thinks they are needed?
