Good day all. During the recent riots in Los Angeles, President Trump, after trying to get Govno Numbnuts Newsom and Mayor Karen “Large Mouth” Bass to actually do their jobs, decided to activate and deploy the National Guard to protect the federal facilities the rioters were trying to storm.
This allowed the Federal Agents to deal directly with the rioters, since they didn’t have to do double duty of guarding the facilities. This angered Govno Gavin “Hair Gel” Newsom. How dare President Trump deploy HIS, (Newsom’s), National Guard? He promptly went to his closest leftard judge to have him order the Guard back to their bases.
The judge, Charles Breyer, did just that. Of course, the Trump Administration appealed to the 9th Circus Court of Appeals, (Expecting those clowns to uphold the order of course), and were pleasantly surprised when they slapped down Breyer hard. Now Hair Gel and Breyer are looking at another way to usurp the authority of the Commander in Chief. Here are the details from Fox News:
A federal judge on Friday asked if the Trump administration’s military deployment in Los Angeles violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits troops from conducting civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil.
Now the short version of the Posse Comitatus Act is that it prevents federal troops from being used in a law enforcement role. Basically, a soldier isn’t a police officer and can’t arrest people. (This is a very simple explanation of course) Now the guard unit wasn’t acting as police, they were in place to guard a federal facility that was, for all intents and purposes, under attack. That is in their job description.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in his complaint that “violation of the Posse Comitatus Act is imminent, if not already underway” but last week, Breyer delayed considering that allegation.
Newsom is, of course, incompetent pond scum. He also has a proven tendency towards tyrannical actions as seen in the lockdown during the Great Panicdemic of 2020. People were arrested who were outside alone because they wouldn’t submit to Newsom’s declaration of Martial Law. As for Breyer? It’s not impossible that he might actually be getting a clue. Unlikely of course, but not impossible.
Vice President JD Vance, who traveled to Los Angeles on Friday to meet with deployed troops, argued that the court said Trump’s reason for sending in federal troops “was legitimate” and that he would do it again if needed.
“The president has a very simple proposal to everybody in every city, every community, every town whether big or small, if you enforce your own laws and if you protect federal law enforcement, we’re not going to send in the National Guard because it’s unnecessary,” Vance told reporters.
One of the reasons that the Trump Administration called out the National Guard and eventually sent in the Marines. When the protests started transitioning into riots, the federal agents called the city for police assistance. It didn’t come for 2+ hours. Even then, they weren’t all they quick to shut down the protests. It was this reason that President Trump sent in the military. Neither Bass or Newsom were going to do their jobs. (shocking, I know)
On Friday, Breyer asked the lawyers to address whether he or the appellate court retains primary jurisdiction to grant an injunction under the Posse Comitatus Act.
Here is a very simple and straightforward answer. No.
Trump argued that the troops are needed to restore order, while Newsom said their presence on the streets escalated tensions and wasted resources.
What was actually going on was a repeat of the “Summer of Fiery but mostly Peaceful love.” President Trump wasn’t able to shut things down in 2020, but this time he wasn’t going to allow incompetent, or worse local officials actively aiding the rioters and looters the way they did in 2020.
Breyer said Trump had overstepped his legal authority, which he noted allows presidents to control state National Guard troops only during times of “rebellion or danger of a rebellion.”
“The protests in Los Angeles fall far short of ‘rebellion,'” Breyer said.
That’s your opinion, and that’s all it is. It has no basis in facts or the law, which, I believe was provided to this Leftard judge.
The administration argued that courts cannot second-guess the president’s decisions. The appellate panel ruled that presidents do not have unchecked power to seize control of a state’s National Guard, but also said that by pointing to violent acts by protesters in this case, the administration had presented enough evidence to show it had reason for federalizing the troops
Actually, the President does have the authority to take control of a national guard unit. There are several methods, one being federalization. The President of the United States can do this at any time. If the courts try to interfere with his role as Commander in Chief, which some of these jumped up tyrants may be considering, they will find out who has the actual power. Here’s a hint. It’s not the Judicial branch.
This is the first federal deployment of a state National Guard without the governor’s permission since troops were sent to protect Civil Rights Movement marchers in 1965.
That is also going to be a nail in the coffin of this joke of a case. I’m not going into the history of what happened, I’ll let you do your own research. (Or you can send a ping to the @Fat_Electrician on Twitter) What this provides is precedent. That precedent, along with the laws on the books and the Constitution are going to shut down Breyer. Oh he might rule against the Trump administration but SCOTUS will shut him down hard.
In any case, this is becoming a moot point now. The guard troops are being redeployed to deal with forest fires and things appear to have calmed down in L.A. There is also the latest lawsuits against the city and state by the administration on their active interference with ICE’s job in rolling up all the illegal aliens. Still, don’t be surprised if this back robed judicial tyrant tries to pull the Posse Comitatus ruling. It will further cement the Judicial Branch as so out of control that Congress will need to go nuclear in the next few years.
