The Trump administration notched itself an illusory victory in federal court this week in one of the ongoing legal battles over the federal use of state National Guard troops to police American cities.

On Monday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in a 2-1 ruling, stayed a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term in office.

By Friday, the full 9th Circuit administratively stayed the panel’s own stay – “[w]ithout objection from the panel,” an order notes.

    For now. I’m sure SCOTUS is eager to tell us plebs just how immaterial material factual errors are because none of the founding slavers said he shouldn’t do that, specifically.

      SCOTUS is no longer ideologically originalist. They no longer concern themselves with constitutional rules such as “the house has the power of the purse”

      And even if they did, well, what they ACTUALLY meant was that he should do that since the usage of the word “shouldn’t” was different back then.
