There’s a very disturbing pattern of trial court judges- those that spend days hearing and viewing evidence and who live in the effected states-deciding one way then appellate judges reading briefs deciding another. We need more trial judges and fewer institutional lawyers on appellate courts

She’s going to find out that a federal District trial court operates much differently than a grand jury panel

Opinions like this are good arguments for appointing our Supreme Court by drawing lots from all District Court trial judges and giving them staggered 10 year terms

The root problem here is that federal immigration laws are out of sync with a supermajority of public opinion. The only way to address this is to fix our immigration laws. This is a Congressional problem. So we must change Congress at the ballot box

The male Trump appointed judge keeps interrupting and talking over Judge Susan Graber-
Graber is a former Oregon Supreme Court Judge and the only of these three judges from Oregon

OMG- a judge in the 9th circuit COA oral argument just said basically… I don’t know how any court can second guess how the President assesses the laws or facts…

Seems like 2 of the 3 judges are hostile to the District Courts injunction. If so expect the Guard in the city’s streets soon

The discovery allowed in Comeys motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution should be pretty broad and intrusive into Trumps private DMs

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

A good job by Durbin. Ask a short non controversial question- did you talk to the WH- (nothing about content of the convo) let her get off her prepared attack then use the rest of your time to critique and hammer home how damaging this admin has been. Don’t ask another question. Don’t move on

This is particularly true in states with closed primaries.
We don’t have a two party system as much as a system of one party districts and states.

The Judge at the hearing was pretty clear that she believed the Feds violated her original order. She didn’t want to amend the original order because she thought it was clear. That’s why there was a second order. Your article makes it seem like there was a legitimate legal debate. There wasn’t

Trump and MAGA will lose. Democracy and the constitutional order will win

We will keep at it

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Mad. I don’t know what the DOJ lawyers can argue in good faith. Maybe some will refuse to appear.

This is a good Point. And using PPB as witnesses doesn’t mean you solely rely on them. So it’s not one or the other. And for sure many judges give testimony by sworn officers more weight

Judges should be pretty furious about this. Using a different states Guard units doesn't alter the Courts legal finding that under the statute, the President couldn't call in federal troops or the Guard. Using a different state's Guard doesn't change that finding.

Insane development. From a legal perspective it certainly violates the Judges Order. She found no statutory legal reason to have the Guard activated and deployed. Changing which Guard is deployed certainly doesn't change the statutory analysis. There's no US DOJ lawyer who should defend this.

Vowing to sue, Newsom says Trump moved 300 California National Guard troops to Portland after a judge blocked his call-up of Oregon’s troops yesterday

Newsom to sue over Trump sending California National Guard to Oregon

“This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,” the governor said in a statement.

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes”

So all a production for a Soon to be released reel from DHS

Very confusing to be in a sports bar in PDX area and rooting for one Seattle team on one screen (Mariners) and against a Seattle team in another screen (Flounders)
