(Crankers) In a 106-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut wrote that “this Court arrives at the necessary conclusion that there was neither ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion’ nor was the President ‘unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States’ in Oregon when he ordered the federalization and deployment of the National Guard” – and blocked Trump from using the National Guard in Portland where protesters are acting up.
Of course her name is KARIN and I guess she prefers Portland to turn into a total dumpster, because this ruling makes absolutely no sense when you think about it.
Back in September, Trump announced plans to deploy federal troops to Portland in response to protests outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility over his administration’s immigration policies. The administration subsequently placed 200 Oregon National Guard troops under federal control and attempted to send an additional 200 federalized California National Guard troops to Portland.
Trump invoked Title 10 of the federal code in his deployment efforts, which allows for its use if the president deems that “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States.”
The moves prompted a lawsuit from city and state officials in Portland, Oregon and California – both being run into the ground by clueless politicians who would rather see the world burn down at the hands of criminals instead of cleaning things up.
