Greasy Gavin Newsom isn’t have a very good week. First he calls his gold digging wife a “first partner’ on her birthday, and now he gets a beat up in the appellate court, and is forced to continue to allow Trump to keep the National Guard in Los Angeles after the riots they had… Too bad..
On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled unanimously in the president’s favor, granting a stay of the Clinton judge’s order.
The appeals court concluded that “it is likely that the president lawfully exercised his statutory authority under § 12406(3), which authorizes federalization of the National Guard when ‘the president is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States'” and indicated Hegseth’s transmittal of the order “likely satisfied the statute’s procedural requirement that federalization orders be issued ‘through’ the governor.”
‘The Judges obviously realized that Gavin Newscum is incompetent and ill prepared.’
The court also recognized that Trump had “a colorable basis” for deploying the National Guard, citing evidence that the anti-ICE rioters:
interfered “with the ability of federal officers to execute the laws”;
threw objects at ICE vehicles attempting to complete a law enforcement operation;
threw Molotov cocktails and vandalized property;
“‘pinned down’ several [Federal Protective Service] officers defending federal property by throwing ‘concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects,’ and used ‘large rolling commercial dumpsters as a battering ram’ in an attempt to breach the parking garage of a federal building.”
To Newsom’s likely chagrin, the court noted further that “the president’s failure to issue the federalization order directly ‘through’ the governor of California does not limit his otherwise lawful authority to call up the National Guard” and that “Newsom had no power to veto or countermand the president’s order.”Newsom, like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other Democrats, suggested that the presence of the National Guard was inflammatory and prompted more unrest.
