Judge shuts down Trump, rules he exceeded president's authority
Well ,it certainly looks like the Law isn't on Donnie's side at the moment. It looks like he'll need to take this further if he wants people to "respect his authority"
Quote:Judge shuts down Trump, rules he 'exceeded his authority’
A federal judge recently ruled that President Donald Trump acted outside the limits of his authority when he federalized National Guard troops and deployed them to Portland during immigration-related protests.
Knewz.com has learned that the decision marked a significant legal rebuke of Trump’s attempt to use military force in a domestic law-enforcement context. It also made permanent an injunction issued in October.
In a 106-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, found that the former reality star “exceeded the president’s authority” when he ordered 200 Oregon National Guard members into Portland in September.
The court rejected the administration’s claim that protests outside a Portland ICE facility amounted to rebellion or imminent danger of “rebellion,” the threshold required for federalizing state-controlled Guard units.
Immergut wrote that “the evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon’s governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president’s authority.”
Following a three-day trial, Judge Immergut ruled that the conditions cited by the Trump administration fell far short of the legal standard needed to justify a federal takeover of the National Guard.
She wrote that the “precise standard” defining when a president may deploy federalized troops domestically “is ultimately a question for a higher court to decide,” signaling that the dispute could move to the appellate courts.
Well ,it certainly looks like the Law isn't on Donnie's side at the moment. It looks like he'll need to take this further if he wants people to "respect his authority"
