Trump Unconstitutionally calls in the National Guard

[AZrailwhale]

Trump has violated his office by calling in the National Guard without the governors. And he either knows it or his dementia has him forgetting that's the law.



If Republicans were about the law, they would impeach and remove this man from office.

Wrong. The president can nationalize the National Guard at will. Eisenhower nationalized the Arkansas National Guard right out from under Arkansas Governor Faubus when he tried to use the Guard to block the desegregation of Little Rock high School. As another example, the president can call out the D.C. National Guard despite the fact that D.C. has no governor.

That's not true. All that has happened is a suit. Trump is still moving and grooving.

Newscum sued the Trump administration on June 9, 2025, arguing the deployment violates federal law and the 10th Amendment, which protects state sovereignty. Newscum, who is not a constittuional lawyer called the action “illegal and immoral,” and the lawsuit seeks to return the National Guard to state control.

So, we shall see.

But Tom Homan is leading the effort, supported by Kristi Noem, with President Trump backing them both, while critics on the left undermine their own political standing.

A simple search would have saved you from some embarrassment.

IM2 is impossible to embarrass.

Gavin Newscum... armed with just a Poli Sci degree and zero else, ditched his sad little podcast to polish his image for a doomed presidential run and just cut his political throat.

It doesn't matter whether they asked for federal troops or not. Failure of local law enforcement to quell violence requires the federal government to step in to take over. It's their duty. Nations can't survive mob rule. That's anarchy.

section 12406 of TItle 10 can only be used when regular forces cant handle it. The shit was only happening on a few streets. State law enforcement is more than sufficient for it. calling the guard before requested with such little going on is a 10th amendment violation.

So many folks tuned in live, and since the circus is still in town, they’re still glued to their screens.

Safety’s a winning ticket, but the Dems are too busy tripping over their own mistakes to notice.

Loving the show.

These people are "Insurrectionists". Technically with the foreign flags, this is a declaration of war from those involved. Some surgical military strikes to their home countries is justified.

How do you not know that the Commander-in-Chief has the ability to call up the National Guard?


Oh yea, they call you IQ2 for a reason.

the national guard is guarding and securing federal buildings they are not in the streets standing against the foreign invaders your party let in ..

Protesting against ICE actions is not a grounds for using the NG. There is no evidence of any violence. Trump is the one who is fermenting violence against Americans.

Those burnt waymos would disagree with you.

Furthermore all the NG are guarding Federal Buildings.

Just heard that someone has been killed in LA.

Tariff negotiations have stalled, so has progress with the tax cut for the rich, DOGE is a fraud, the courts have pushed back against the regime's rampant illegality. So what's a conman to do? Create a distraction the rubes can rally behind.

maybe you're dissapointed the city didnt burn, insurance companies raised their rates even higher or cut service, and the exodus from California by working people continues to grow. You're on the wrong side again. Sooner or later you have to get exhausted from being so wrong following the Democrat talking points.

create a distraction?? you mean like Mexican seperatists flying their flags and throwing concrete chunks at police? You would be happy surrendering a major American city to anyone who is upset? Your Tea leaves have failed you Ice Berg. Try some Romaine next time it has more nutrients for your brain. We're worried about your mental health.

The safety of the country and it's LEGAL citizens come first. Trump is doing what any patriot would do. Now, go take a long walk on a short pier.

This is unconstitutional, period. Nobody wants to hear your right-wing jibberish about the law when you elected a convicted felon for president. If you want credibility, begin by demanding Trump's removal from office. If you want to be heard, demand that he revoke the pardons of the 1,500 insurrectionists. If you want to be taken seriously, demand that the family of Babbitt return the money they were given. If you can't do any of these things, STFU.
