A federal judge in San Francisco expressed skepticism at a hearing Thursday that President Trump had the authority to federalize the National Guard, questioning whether he had followed the law before ordering an extraordinary deployment to Los Angeles over the weekend.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, presiding over the case, pushed back against the Justice Department’s central argument, that courts had no say in the matter.
“We’re talking about the president is exercising his authority, and of course, the president is limited in his authority,” Breyer said. “That’s the difference between the president and King George.”
“We live in response to a monarchy,” the judge continued, adding: “Line drawing is important, because it establishes a system of process.”
In the lengthy hearing, Breyer directed most of his questioning to the Trump administration, which has cited Title 10 of the U.S. Code to justify the takeover of the National Guard. But that provision, the judge noted, requires that orders from the president “shall be issued through the governors of the States.”
“I’m trying to figure out how something is ‘through’ somebody, if in fact you didn’t send it to him,” Breyer asked. “As long as he gets a copy of it at some point, it’s going through?”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I don’t know, but he capitulated on mass deportations today, which is of course what the protestors really want.
Obamammy Boy deported 4 million.
No injunctions. No mouthing off judges.
In his 1995 SOTU address, a badly defeated Clinton sounded like Trump on illegal aliens and used the word illegal.
No whining by media, Dems, etc.
Do kings serve fixed terms? Are they term-limited? Are they subject to removal by the legislature? Can they be replaced by the vice-king by a majority vote of department heads?
his brother is Stephen “CommieBoy Fag” Breyer...
I hope Trump is putting out, over the grapevine, that he’s not going to stand for summary dismissal of the proper power of the executive. That he’s going thru the motions of responding in court and putting a nice face on it but that the appeals courts/SCOTUS better do the right thing. OR THEY’LL BE RESPONSIBLE . Because if he ain’t then they’ll roll right over the presidency as they damn well please.
What the h3ll is he talking about?“
He is part of the leftist no king event. He used the term Monarchy intentionally and will be aid to protests. This bastard is working with the rats.
Yep, they’ve pivoted from literally Hitler to King as their newest “scary” pejorative.
Accusations of fascism have failed so now it’s accusations of arrogant high handed monarchy.
” A federal judge in San Francisco expressed skepticism at a hearing Thursday that President Trump had the authority to federalize the National Guard,”
Then explain to us how low level judges suddenly have the power to override Executive Branch actions. Isn’t that insurrection?
The judges’ game here is to force Trump to declare National State of Emergency where all things are permissible to the Executive.
These folks will be very disappointed as more troops are deployed, more ICE raids take place and more illegals are removed from circulation. The cities will be left in shambles and Trump will be laughing at their requests for federal aid. And they will have accomplished nothing.
I guess calling Trump "Hitler" all the time stopped working.
He appears to be talking about 10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard in Federal service:https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406
“the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.”
While ignoring 10 U.S. Code § 252 - Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/252
“Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”
and
10 U.S. Code § 253 - Interference with State and Federal law
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/253
“The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
(1)so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2)opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
The Left switched from “Hitler” to “king” because much of the public has Hitler fatigue. Time to try a new catch phrase.
He is using that term purposely to help with the rat narrative for the no BS no kings day on Saturday.
“We live in response to a monarchy,”
“The President shall be commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states....”
Well, Judge - thank you for proving the falsehood of your statement. The fact that we are questioning, ridiculously questioning the presidents powers here and you havent been arrested for doing so - means it is not a monarchy. no monarch would suffer such.

Trump sure as Hell has the authority. Full stop.
