The full 9th Circuit Court of Appeals declined to rehear a panel’s order allowing National Guard troops to deploy to California, prompting the dissenting judges to pen lengthy warnings about the danger the United States now faces.

A single judge had requested the vote to rehear the case, after a panel — composed of two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee — stayed a district court order blocking the Guard’s deployment.
I guess but judges are essential to lend legitimacy to all forms of government, democratic and authoritarian.
That changes how I perceive the role of “fighting” authoritarianism as a judge.
As with everything is never cut and dry eh
