Tomorrow, 9 am, the 9th Circuit will hear oral argument on whether to grant a longer stay of the Immergut’s first TRO while the Trump regime pursues its appeal.

Today, the 9th Circuit granted an administrative stay,which has the effect of leaving Oregon’s National Guard federalized but not deployed. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71554902/32/state-of-oregon-et-al-v-trump-et-al/. Also still in place, because not appealed by Trump regime, is the 2nd […]

On Sunday I wrote a thread about how the Trump regime’s then-only-planned deployment of federalized National Giard troops into the street of Chicago wwould very likely be seen by future historians as the start of a second American Civil War […]
