9th Circuit court rules Trump can deploy National Guard to Portland

[Valletta]

“After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when ‘the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States,’” the majority said.

Without law there is lawlessness (without people adhering to laws) ... laws have no meaning or effect unless they are enforced. If not ... what's the point of having them?

Not a fan of Trump but your argument here does not make sense in light of the court allowing Trump to deploy the NG to Oregon. If the court would have decided against Trump and he deployed the NG anyway then I could see how your argument has merit. Trump’s move is legal.

You are correct.

The previous events lead up to people thinking they can do whatever they want.

They're wrong of course, but it's like that verse that tells children to obey their parents, and to parents to not provoke their kids.

Anyway, thanks for your response.
