DOJ: Trump's National Guard deployment can't be second-guessed by the courts

The DOJ urged the court to issue an emergency stay and allow the Trump administration's deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles.

During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

    And Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers say he’s totally innocent too…

    trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they’re always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:

    “Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”

    It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they’re gonna kick it to the SC.

    Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn’t dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he’s just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.

      SCOTUS is an appeals court, they rule on lower court findings.

      A lower court can’t “kick it to the SC”. They have to make a ruling.
