The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled President Trump may not deploy the National Guard to the Chicago area for now amid his push for military troops to patrol the streets of Democratic-led cities, a major loss for the president at the high court.

After more than two months of consideration, the court refused to pause a district judge’s ruling temporarily blocking hundreds of National Guard members from being federalized and deployed across Illinois, rejecting the government’s emergency request.

Are they going to have to make separate rulings for every city Trump wants to invade, or does this decision apply to all of them?

[-] blueduck@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

This ruling upholds the Circuit Court order barring the use of national guard forces specifically in Chicago.

A separate order was issued in the ninth circuit barring the use of national guard forces in Portland. That has been appealed and was waiting for this decision.

It’s unlikely the administration will prevail in lifting the order in Portland now that this decision was made against their favor.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was asking. I know that a lower court has also ruled that deploying them in DC was also illegal...pending appeal. And if I recall, they said the same thing about California...also still pending appeal, or something.

It really does seem like they're going to have to get the Super Court involved in every state, separately...even though the rulings are all based on the same arguments.

[-] blueduck@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well to be fair, SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on the merits yet. This decision just upholds the lower court’s TRO.

If the court grants cert for the actual case, we’d see some kind of precedent established. It’s very unlikely they’d rule narrowly and limit the scope to a single deployment since the administration’s argument is consistent across all of them.

Using national guard forces to protect federal buildings and employees because local law enforcement can’t or won’t

Well fuck me, didn't see THAT ruling coming. Maybe someone should check they've not come down with some severe illness, like a brain tumor or morals

Too little, too late, scotus. Who will listen to you protest now? Donald "immunity for official presidential acts" trump or Pete "suggesting troops disobey illegal orders is treason" Hegseth?

Same vibes as "Supreme Court recognizes Cherokee Nation as sovereign state"

This in no way represents a loss for Trump. This shit is chaff. Nothing more. His distraction was incredibly successful in not only its purpose, but in its ability to tie up courts and investigations into his childfucking.

Collectivity, we take the bait every fucking day. The peso-files are DAMNING. He is doing everything he can- both legal and illegal to keep that info from seeing light of day.

And it’s damn effective, because we can’t resist the bait.

Wow, you know Trump's reached the end of his rope when even his rubber stamp court runs out of ink!

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe one of the liberal justices put a their gun on the table to start the negotiations

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Careful with that. That will truly begin civil war and martial law. With the first round comes massive force. Tread carefully. This ain't no game.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

"John Roberts has made his decision. Now let him enforce it" -- Trump, probably, if he was educated. But it'll probably be Stephen Miller saying that to himself right now.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

"Won't allow"

BWAAHAhahahaha ha ha ha. Oh. Oh, that's rich. Defunct group of judges who made a series of decisions that shit all over the law now indicate that someone can't do something because of the law that they have no physical power to enforce. Oh, thanks for the laugh, SCOTUS.

[-] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

SCOTUS has the power to deputize their own agents in order to enforce it's rulings.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

That's odd.
