Trump Triumphs Over Newscum: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules in Favor of Trump

The Governor of California went to court to stop the President of the United States from protecting Americans from violent rioters, looters and destroyers.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The Commander in Chief remains in charge of the military.

Susie Moore of Red State: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its ruling on the Trump administration’s motion for a stay pending appeal. The court granted the motion, meaning the National Guard may remain under federal control for the time being. Shortly after President Trump issued orders federalizing the Guard in response to riots that broke out in and around Los Angeles, ostensibly following protests of immigration raids in the area, Newsom filed suit in federal court to block the move. Of note, he filed the suit in the Northern District of California rather than in the Central District, which serves Los Angeles. Judge Charles Breyer then issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) ordering the return of control of the Guard to the state. Within hours of that ruling, however, a three-judge panel at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative (temporary) stay in response to the administration’s appeal. Oral argument was heard before the 9th Circuit on Tuesday afternoon. Now, they’ve permanently stayed the district court’s TRO pending the appeal of the case (Red State).

From the ruling: we are persuaded that, under longstanding precedent interpreting the statutory predecessor to 12406, our review of that decision must be highly deferential. Affording the President that deference, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority … which authorizes federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States” (US Courts).
