Many were asking that since Judge Perry granted the TRO "in part," which part was she not granting. The answer: "The Court declines at this time to enter a Preliminary Injunction, and also to extend the scope of the TRO to include the military..."

This is the TRO blocking deployment of the NG to IL

Reading this now. It’s the opinion explaining the reason for granting a TRO (the order came out yesterday) against the National Guard deployment in Illinois. It begins with a quote from Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers against the idea.

Judge Xinis notes that the govt's witness wasn't prepared for the testimony she ordered:

"I had very specific directions for what that witness should be prepared to testify about."

She adds that it's getting close to "three strikes, you're out."

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?
