Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to deploy National Guard in Illinois

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘The Supreme Court on Tuesday rebuffed the Trump administration over its plan to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois over the strenuous objections of local officials.

The court in an unsigned order turned away an emergency request made by the administration, which said the troops are needed to protect federal agents involved in immigration enforcement in the Chicago area.

In doing so, the court at least provisionally rejected the Trump administration’s view that the situation on the ground is so chaotic that it justifies invoking a federal law that allows the president to call National Guard troops into federal service in extreme situations.

Those circumstances can include when “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion” or “the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.”

Among the issues in the case is what the term “regular forces” means, something the Supreme Court focused on in an order issued on Oct. 29 asking for additional briefing. The question is whether the law only allows for the National Guard to be called up if regular military forces are unable to restore order, or whether the phrase refers to law enforcement.’

That the Court had to address this at all illustrates the reckless authoritarianism of the Trump regime.

Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois is devoid of merit and purely partisan.

You could care less, but you would have to be a Dem or "not Dem."

They really don't care.

They waited 2 months to say no to an emergency request and did not sign the refusal.

The USSC does not want this hot potato, and are hoping it will somehow become moot by Trump changing his mind about the deployment.

Too bad. If there is one most important and legitmate function of the USSC, it is deciding issues like this.

The Supreme Court has rebuffed President Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois to protect federal officials carrying out his mass-deportation policy.

In their ruling Tuesday, the justices noted that federal law generally bars use of the military for law enforcement, and they declared that the law Trump used to activate the Guard is likely to only apply when regular armed forces — the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines — are insufficient to maintain order.

“At this preliminary stage, the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the high court said in an unsigned order released more than two months after the administration asked the justices to weigh in.

Trump over stepped his authority. He had no Constitutional grounds to justify his use of the National Guard. He is creating creating his own panick.

That's not the Army's job, dipshit.

This is exactly what I mean when I tell you brainless submissive useful idiots Trump has led you far, far, far off the conservative reservation.

Have you ever even heard of the Posse Comitatus Act?

Trump and people like you are the reason our Founders didn't want a standing army.

Why are the Democrats stopping him?

The Supreme Court stopped the dictator wannabe.

Federal​

The National Guard is dual in nature: it serves both state and federal governments. Under normal circumstances, the governor controls the Guard within that state, and the president cannot unilaterally deploy it without state permission

However, federal law provides mechanisms for the president to federalize the Guard, bringing members under federal control to enforce laws or respond to national emergencies

Red states have higher crime rate

Isn't that what you would expect when crime and corruption is dealt with properly vs. looking the other way con.man?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Red states have higher crime rate

What was this shinola based on?
if one person lives in a state/town and commits a crime what is the crime rate for that state/town? if 1000 people live in the next state/town over and all but one of them commit a crime whose crime rate is higher? and which state would crime be far more rare in and which would it be far more rampant in?...your claim is bogus con.man
