Judge requests ‘vote on whether case should be reheard’ after panel lifted block on Trump’s planned deployment
A decision in Donald Trump’s favor by a three-judge panel issued on Monday, which lifted a block on his planned deployment of Oregon national guard troops to Portland, could be reconsidered by a new, larger panel of federal appeals court judges.
Hours after the three-judge panel decided, 2-1, that Trump has the legal authority to deploy federalized troops to Portland, a judge on the ninth circuit court of appeals formally requested “a vote on whether this case should be reheard” by a larger panel of judges.
The initial three-judge panel was comprised of two judges nominated by Trump during his first term, who voted to allow the troop deployment, and one nominated by Bill Clinton, who voted against it.
Graber, the dissenting judge, described the ruling to allow the deployment as having “no legal or factual justification”. Graber said efforts to describe the city as a “war zone” were absurd, noting protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes.
The SC court literally just said they can’t enforce any rulings so Trump can do whatever he wants…
People need to stop depending on federal courts, and start pressuring their governors to do their job and stand up against the Fed.
For Oregon, it’s
They need to pick a side. Even if you can’t enforce a decision, make one. Are you aiding a fascist in violating the constitution or are you going on record when it’s illegal?
If they can’t enforce any rulings, what the fuck are we keeping them on the payroll for?
Them saying the SC is powerless is the entire reason they were put on the SC…
They’re just confident enough to say it out loud now.
Obama should have fought for his pick, and Biden should have done… Well, he should have done fucking anything.
The longer we ignored the problem, the more work it is to fix.
But at this point we really do need to just start over from scratch, we can’t just keep painting over rotten wood when we obviously live in a tornado zone.
The only people who describe US cities as “war zones” are people who have never been to war.
Or to cities likely for that matter.
IDK LA traffic can get pretty bad. Also the salt lake city section of the 15 would probably be improved by being in a warzone.
