  1. >The DOJ claimed that federal law enforcement needs the National Guard’s help because they’re “unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.”

    The Trump administration can’t claim to care about the law while simultaneously ignoring judicial orders. The emperor has no clothes.

  3. And if he ignores them and does it anyway, there are zero consequences for him personally.

  4. Isn’t this like the third time it’s been “permanently” halted?

  6. Oh the judge told him no. We know from at least 27 women what he thinks of that word.

  7. His response will be a strongly worded letter, well letterS

    F U

  8. Until the Supreme Court overturns it. That’s pretty much what I expect now. The lower courts make correct and just rulings and the Supreme Court goes “to hell with being good people fuck them poor people.”

  9. Jfc… here we are again. We’ve seen this part of the movie over and over and over.

    Trump: we’re violating the Constitution
    Small legal group: see you in court!
    (waits a lot while Trump admin violates Constitution)
    Judge: No Trump! This is illegal. You must stop.

    (Trump appeals)
    Path 1: Judge approves of violation = end of issue. Trump steamrolls Constitution.

    Path 2: 
    Plaintiffs: see! This madman is breaking the Constitution.
    Judge: No Trump! This is illegal. You must stop.

    (Trump appeals to Supreme Court)

    Plaintiffs: see! This madman is breaking the Constitution. The appeals court has already ruled. There’s no sane reason to take up the case!
    Supreme Court: Bring this to us immediately!

    (Hears arguments)

    Supreme Court: I see. So you told our client he couldn’t do what he wants. Well, sorry, but he can.
    Plaintiffs: Why?
    Supreme Court: Because we said so. Don’t make us write an opinion. It gets hard trying to make this look legitimate. Better luck next time. Now, Trump… do your worst. You have our blessings, and no one can dispute that.

  10. >Permanently

    […]

    >“To be clear, today this Court does not rule that the President can never deploy the National Guard to Oregon, or to any other location, if conditions on the ground justify the Guard’s intervention,” Immergut wrote.

    So she conclusively ruled that this particular justification was not strong enough and permanently barred this particular deployment on the basis of the justification they already offered, but said other deployments could proceed if they had better reasons. It’s a permanent ruling, but probably not in the way most people think of the word.

  13. He can just drum up another excuse for their presence like everywhere else, this is the definition of a bandaid solution

  14. oh no! the homeowner tells the intruder to no come inside. that’ll do

  17. Lemme guess..just like every ruling in US , there’s always a loophole that can be exploited by the corrupted fucks.

  20. Courts mean nothing unless it starts to be enforced. I want to see people arresting national guard being deployed

  21. So our illegitimate Supreme Court will issue an emergency ruling overturning this within a day or two, right?

  22. He doesn‘t give a f€&@ and does it nevertheless, right?

  23. Oh, THIS time, the government agents will surely, definitely suddenly decide to obey the law and act accordingly regarding the court’s orders. We got ’em this time. Zero chance they’re just going to continue their violence, now.

  24. It was not a response to protests. It was a response for BREAKING THE LAW BY PRESIDENT.

  25. I wonder how often that will have to happen more before they realise that *he doesn’t care*?

  28. Don’t worry guys. I told the winter not to cold this year.

  29. And like a law abiding citizen he’s gonna follow to these court orders.and hes gonna release the epstein files and at last hes gonna sit on the top of statue of liberty with the crown sticking in his ass.

  30. When he refuses to leave office I’m sure a judge will scold him then too
