“This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”
That’s the way Federal Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, summarized the issue when she granted a temporary restraining order blocking the National Guard Deployment.
Is that something we can agree on?
For those seeking for information on her legal reasoning, here’s Immergut’s initial decision granting the plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining order (issued before California and Texas Guard units were being told to deploy).

Thanks again, Ian. Every glimmer of hope helps. Keep `em coming…….
Thank you for posting this. The judge’s article is well researched and written and conclusively persuasive. Anyone reading all this can clearly see that there is zero need for any president to federalize the national guard in Portland , Chicago or California under these mild circumstances. Local law enforcement can clearly handle it. This is absolutely just a bunch of partisan bullies trying to get their way at any cost and trying to usurp our constitution in the process. This isn’t just my opinion. This is clear fact from anyone reading the details here and studying the constitution. No president gets to make himself king in the United States of America.
