During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

    National Guard is part of the Army which is typically composed of reserve units. They are a state militia that report to the State and to the Federal Government. Most of their assets are federal assets. The governor can activate the national guard in a state of emergency without waiting on the president. However, the president can take over if a national emergency is declared or during war time for redeployment. Orange Chicken Little has manufactured a national crisis that is the “Invasion of Illegals”. They are basically trying to strong arm dismantling the Posse Comitatus Act and bypass congress. Once that happens you can’t impeach the Donvict because he is overseeing a national crisis.
