The national guard wasn’t performing police functions. They were protecting federal officers, federal operations, and federal property. That’s entirely ok.
Also, when law and order breaks down and us citizens are threatened, then they are permitted by the constitution to intervene.
So, the judge made a ruling on something that isn’t happening. Iow, the whole point was political.
Finally, the national guard was being paid by the federal government and not by the state of california.

No problem with his refusing businesses that require government money. We should do that across the board.
However, if some entrepreneur wants to build his own windmills with his own money and sell the electricity to the grid, then it’s not the government’s business to get in his way.
Or, a new design windmill for individual homes and independent off-the-grid living is something that the government absolutely shouldn’t be involved in. If I want a horse cranking a generator in my back yard, then that’s really my business and the government should keep its nose out.

All congressional districts should be based on existing county lines. They tend to be compact and adjacent to other counties similarly drawn. Current congressional coverage is about 750,000 people. Each county more than that would be divided geometrically to include the required number. Each county less than that would be combined with an adjacent county until the required number is reached. Snakes, splotches, distant areas would all be prevented by this fair system.
