9th Circuit court rules on Trump's National Guard deployment in Portland

[Maximum Overkill 2,372]

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled that President Donald Trump can deploy Oregon National Guard troops into the city of Portland, delivering a significant victory to the Trump administration as it continues its effort to send federal forces into Democratic-led cities despite a string of recent setbacks in other district and appeals courts.

Judges on the three-member panel ruled 2-1 to authorize Trump's deployment. Judge Ryan Nelson and Judge Bridget Bade, both appointed by Trump, sided with the administration in the majority ruling, with the lone Clinton-appointed judge, Susan Graber, dissented.

"After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when ‘the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States,’" the majority said.

But so many people attended "No Kings" protests, didn't they effect change?

Well, it would seem as though the 9th circuit, which is inevitably where the GOP runs when they need a favorable ruling, missed the point. To the surprise of nobody.

Traditionally, the 9th Circuit is far and away the most progressive, law-ignoring appeals court.  Not surprisingly, they along with the Federal Court are the most overturned by SCOTUS.  This predates the current SCOTUS makeup.

My guess is that Trump lucked out to get two non-whackadoodle-progressives on this panel.

This is a huge victory for Trump. Portland is a mess right now.

Not for trump, trump is the cause of the riots, he likes this violence, it’s a victory for the citizens of Portland. Trump doesn’t live in Portland, he lives up His .

Are you off your gourd? The 9th has been by far the most leftwing circuit for your entire lifetime and its not close. Its inevitably where leftoids go judicial shopping. Trump goes to the fifth.

Early bird supper must have been overcooked. The general is grumpy.

Hopefully our brave military can crush the dancing inflatables threatening Portland and the very fabric of American society.

Of course he can. What if the US was invaded? The president of the US couldn't deploy the national guard to defend our land?

Which our land was invaded. This is simple stuff.
