10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The DOJ attorney emphasized that “sustained mob violence” in response to ICE raids is “no ordinary civil unrest,” claimed that it is ongoing, and asserted that such violence is “expressly aimed at preventing federal officers from enforcing federal law,” supporting Trump’s federalization of the Golden State’s National Guard.
That's just a lie, isn't it?
Even if it were true, that does not amount to rebellion. Nobody is trying to overthrow the federal government.
Yet.
That's standard Republican strategy. A lot of the cases that ended up in front of the Supreme Court are straight up manufactured. In the case of the lady who refused to create a website for a gay wedding, they contacted the guy who supposedly made the request and he'd never heard of it before. Republican operatives basically looked up a gay guy in San Francisco and used his details in the website's contact form.
Despite all that, the courts happily took the case and ruled on a complete fiction. Same thing happened in the case of the coach that forced his football team to pray.

Literally fabricated "intelligence."
Well, it's mostly true. I mean this isn't normal civil unrest. This is the people being fed up with a government trying to use fear as a weapon against it's own people. And the mob violence isn't generally preventing federal officers from doing what they want, it is in response to it. There is some mob shouting preventing some federal officers ftom doing what they want.
But issue at hand is that the law is very vague about the quantity needed to trigger the allowance of using the national guard. By just reading it, ICE could send a single agent to arrest 5 people in a facility that has 500. If the people stop the arrests, then it meets the written requirements. It ludicrous though to interpret it that way of course. But since it was written so poorly, we are at the mercy of the courts.
This is dictatorship. It's mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.
That is how they want everyone to feel so there isn't much fight back. However, I think if there was, and the gloves came off, it may also split Republicans and even Trumpers.
Telling the court that the court has no say. Bold move Cotton….
I mean hes done it before with no consequences so we'll see
Tastes like fascism.
That's fascism, folks.
Arm yourselves.
Also, maybe don't do something dumb like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting next time around. Y'all were warned. Now it's happening.
What about all the votes that were lost, removed, not counted? The way the elections, gerrymandering and more, Its all rigged.
So much to unpack there...
So the bestest president evah now caused a rebellion? Did that ever happen before to any president? Oh yeah, under trump 1 there was January the 6th, instigated and orchestrated by king Cheeto
And now there is another rebellion?
I mean, it's demonstrations but seeing that distinction is hard for smooth brain idiots
Then telling judges that they can't say no because else they can't stop a rebellion? I mean, you STARTED it, if you want to stop it's really easy: STOP BREAKING THE LAW!
And stop telling judges they can't do their job
The keyword is rebellion...
But it is not really about current protests ... it is to have all lights on green when there actually IS a rebellion cooking so the response can be swift and far beyond proportions.
Do you want a rebellion? Cause this how you get rebellions
Yes, they do, because it will distract from the US joining a war in Iran, and from all of trumps other crimes.
I thought the war in Iran was to distract from the protests? What are they going to do to distract from the rebellion then?
It's distraction upon distraction upon distraction while they steal the country.
It's distractions all the way down
It's not even a plan. It's notions of a plan.
The foreign wars arent the point. The foreign wars are a means to an end
The end. Is being able to isolate one's self from the rest of the world. Enjoy perpetual dictatorial rule through martial law. And rule your corner of the world like an absolute monarchy. The other parts of the world can deal with their own regional warlords like Russia and China
The foreign wars. Like starting a war with Iran. Are likely going to be used as a vehicle to declare martial law in the USA. And once that happens. Trump is never going away until death takes him
Sounds like Dictatorship to me
I wasnt aware the DOJ could order judges to find in certain ways in cases.
Not yet.
The time to rebel is now
These people want you dead
Arm yourselves.
Do not go quietly when they come for you
Drag one with you to your grave
My state says I have to pay a tax, do live fire training, get 2 background checks and wait several weeks before I can arm myself.
Guess we will just die.
Oh and I can't carry it virtually anywhere. Maybe to the range if its unloaded and locked and ammunition stored somewhere separately.
Did I also mention I am limited to 10 or less rounds?
I was going to add something else but there is a kiaboy with an autoswitch glock and extended mag tapping on my window while I type this.
That's some incredibly intense kneeling they're doing right there. Who knew the DOJ was so good at kissing the floor?
quashing protests, will eventually leader to larger protests and then uprising, and maybe a rebellion eventually.
Arrogant shits, aren't they?
And Harvey Weinstein's lawyers say he's totally innocent too...
trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they're always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:
“Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn't dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he's just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
SCOTUS is an appeals court, they rule on lower court findings.
A lower court can't "kick it to the SC". They have to make a ruling.
Isn't the national guard supposed to be a state level militia?
Makes zero sense that the federal government should dictate where and how they are used. The feds should be going to states and asking to borrow their militia for whatever happens, typically national disaster response and not murdering political dissenters.
