US District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Trump did not have the legal authority to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles and ordered control of the Guard returned to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
An outstanding victory for the rule of law and democracy. We are so gratefully reliant on judges and the judicial system . May the decision stand and be respected.
I just wish the legislative branch would do their duty to defend the Constitution and their own members from the violent extremism that is the Trump movement.
As it is now, our only guaranteed path to survival of the Republic is the mass defeat of all Republican candidates in the 2026 elections.
The "R's" in Congress are so clouded in their thinking that they cannot or will not see that they are being used and are dispensable to trump. He has no more use for them than he had for musk, Giuliani, or lindell. He'll bleed them all dry and kick their dying dust to the curb to be washed down the gutter.
Reminds me of the Genghis Kahn character in the Shadow who clouded people's minds and made them do stuff like run their cars into gas trucks and explode, jump off buildings, and stuff like that. The "R's" in Congress all seem to be in some kind of mind control tractor beam - right along with the screaming MAGAs and the jan 6 insurrectionist army. I hope they are happy in that space...
Yeah, well, they forgot to read the 'fine print' that in trump's mind is there will be no need for elections because they will cease to exist. Hopefully they will wake up to that nitty gritty little detail before it's too late for them.
good news. The courts have yet again put Trump and his Cohorts on the wrong side of the law. How many lawsuits have been filed against this Fascist regime?
Fight fire with fire. Taco uses the same court crap; has for decades to beat money out of people. As his book writer said, "He wins in court, he declares victory, He loses in court, he bitches then declares victory." sort of like heads I win, tails you loss.
Trump usurped his powers in an effort push his dictatorial leanings. He thought he could steal the governors powers and the court would go along with him. This was the right decision, and thanks to a judge who could and did stand up for the Constitution, we now have struck back a blow to an authoritarian rule!
Im thankful for this decision by this judge and I believe that the Trump administration had overstepped their authority by using this for force against a state that Trump seems to be using his position to punish this state and all democratic states for his political views. He has got to be admonished by the Supreme Court for his aggressive behavior for political gain!
I couldn't be more pleased. But by habit, I'm going to put a lid on celebrating until I see what happens on appeal. Let's hope the administration doesn't go the administrative stay route which could leave things unsettled for months. For now three cheers to the thin black line: the lower court judges who have done more than all of the rest of us combined to slow down the coup.
This needs to be made permanent.
LIKE RIGHT NOW!
Ya think??!!
Yes it does for sure.
I’m so glad for the governor 🙏🏽
F'ING A!
The Supreme Court needs to be put into Timeout until a suitable replacement can be found. Those jerks have gone to far in allowing Trump to do dirty.
Me too

This is a classic takedown of a democratic republic by internal and external forces.
Yeah... but we are not going to go down easy.
So Now What To Do About It?
Ignore... Run... Fight... Other?
Protest now, vote soon.
"Hail Hydra!"
So Now What To Do About It?
What do you think we should do about it? What will you personally do about it?
Those republicans know exactly what they are doing! They have been promised that they wont have to worry about winning elections anymore!
Yeah, well, they forgot to read the 'fine print' that in trump's mind is there will be no need for elections because they will cease to exist. Hopefully they will wake up to that nitty gritty little detail before it's too late for them.
The Midterms will be an epic Blue Wave, for sure! I can't wait!
Only if we can unite to topple the Republican stranglehold on the red states
If there is another election.
So Now What To Do About It?
There will be. Let's make sure the protests are peaceful…

…oh, and Dems have been winning a lot of recent elections, even in red areas, so voting still works.
There will still be voting.
That wish ain't happening.
So Now What To Do About It?

I’ve lost count

Yes yes yes. Go Gov Newsome
YES WE HAVE!!!!
Our Constitution's rules are the right rules. Thank God for the Judiciary.
Good to know there are decent judges with brains!
So true
Well I hope Kristi Noem doesn’t get upset over this after complaining about Biden if he would have done it.
I hope she chokes to death on Corey Lewandowski’s dick.
Hahahahaha! Dog killin' c**t needs to be imprisoned. All of them do.
😂
Hallelujah The judiciary continues to stand strong.

Well deserved birthday present
It is isn’t it😂
Hope it sticks. It is still just a TRO.
Great. We have no kings and I see he has to pay people on Craig's list to come to fill in for his birthday party. What a joke!
I hope that it rains and there is a lot of lightning. A message from God😂 get over yourself trump
Really!! LOL (which section of CL? I have to see it for a good laugh).
