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

[Maximum Overkill 2,414]

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.

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 .

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.

We weren't discussing "typical," Honcho and I were discussing the law behind it.

Your rationale is an example of why I said "of course they will," and why the 9th Circuit is the most overturned of the nine.

It's (D)ifferent because he's doing it exclusively in Democrat-run cities, predominantly in blue states, with Memphis the only exception. It's (D)ifferent because he's obviously targeting those that he perceives as "enemies" e.g. anyone that didn't vote for him. It's (D)ifferent because MAGA tinfoil hat types (which is most of them, it seems) would have been violently enraged if a Democratic POTUS ever would have done the same. It's (D)ifferent because this has never happened before, under any admin, and the party of "law and order" and "individual rights" and "patriots" has turned into the party of slavish sycophants that have completely inverted their purported beliefs for the sake of belonging to an ugly cult of personality.

I am indeed.

Somehow you've convinced yourselves that this guy is worthy of adoration and blind allegiance, to the detriment of all Earthlings.

Yaknow how them darkies took that ni**er term and started using it toward each other? That's like what I did. I flipped a belittling word on its head. There are some associated terms for this: reappropriation, satire, artistic license among them.

Appeals court will reconsider decision that allowed Trump to deploy National Guard troops to Portland

The appeals court that paved the way for President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland while the state’s legal case against the administration plays out announced Tuesday it will reconsider its decision.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to an “en banc rehearing,” where a new set of judges will be assigned to consider the case. The original decision was made by a three-judge panel, but the en banc panel will have 11 judges. A date for the hearing was not set.

Tuesday evening’s decision means the Trump administration will continue to be barred from deploying the National Guard to Portland, four days after a federal judge in Chicago extended an order blocking Guard troops there.

Trump administration says it overstated number of agents in Portland

The day before the federal appeals court agreed to reconsider the case en banc, the Trump administration made what local leaders fighting a deployment are casting as a remarkable admission:

Part of its testimony justifying the need for troops was wrong.

“We deeply regret these errors,” wrote Justice Department attorney Andrew M. Bernie in a Monday letter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals filed in the court record.

In Oregon, “115 (Federal Protective Service) officers have had to deploy to Portland” due to monthsl ong protests outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility there, an official with that agency – which provides security to government-owned properties – said earlier this month in an affidavit in support of a troop deployment.

“The continued deployment of FPS officers in response to the immigration protests stretches an already thin force beyond what is safe and effective,” Regional Deputy Director Robert Cantu said in the affidavit.

Those 115 officers amounted to “nearly a quarter of the agency’s entire FPS capacity,” Trump administration attorneys originally said.

However, this “statement was incorrect,” Bernie acknowledged in the Monday letter, noting only about half that number were agents sent out to provide security.

Oregon told court Trump administration’s math didn’t add up

The Department of Justice only discovered the mistake after it was raised by attorneys for plaintiffs Oregon and Portland, Bernie’s Monday letter says.

The plaintiffs in their own letter to the court noted the numbers in Trump administration filings conflicted with each other, ultimately showing a maximum of 31 FPS officers in the field at any one time.

 

 

They got caught lying.

Which is a total lie because all you had to do was watch the live streams to see hundreds getting arrested every weekend.
