And I think the precedent is more important than the immediate issue anyhow.

DC: "The National Guard *is* the state militia; you don't need a militia on top of that."
Also DC: "We can use your Guard against you and there's nothing you can do about it."

If the precedent is accepted it could undermine the whole DtG effort.

@mitchconner
Pointing out that you're on the wrong side of the issue does not make me a baby.

Vegan MGTOW kept on saying that 2025 June 11 there would be a fake nuclear attack on Seattle Washington which is the same day as the deadline set in that letter or document

@Humpleupagus @Tony @ins0mniak @mitchconner Disagree in part: immediate granting of ex parte TROs which technically can't be appealed is very much a trope of our current regime of Inferior Court Supremacy.

Also beware of an instant appeal to the Ninth Circus Circuit. The ACLU did that in an illegals case after giving the Texas district judge 42 minutes to rule (and got swatted down, then the Supreme Court both granted it and chastised the inferior judges; look for Judge Ho's "not a Denny's" scathing towards the Supreme Court order for lots more).

One thing any legal mind with a clue will be thinking about is that Trump can instantly trump this legal action with the Insurrection Act. In fact, from the 1994 timing of 10 U.S. Code § 12406 after G. H. W. Bush's invocation of the former for the 1992 Rodney King riots, I'm pretty sure it was passed (and by Democrats) to give a president a less powerful tool if needed.

@john @Humpleupagus @Tony @ins0mniak @mitchconner I don't think that'll happen, there are so many ways the President can Federalize the National Guard, like for duty overseas, one ruling like this one, on one fairly narrow law (10 U.S. Code § 12406) isn't going to make a difference.

Especially when D.C. indeed insists on having it both ways, hating with passion the citizens who make up the "unorganized militia."

@Humpleupagus @Tony @ins0mniak @mitchconner Not as far as I know or just checked with Brave AI.

He's been implicitly at minimum threatening it, but for now the Marines in LA, 700 vs. the 4,000 National Guardsmen there or on the way, are not on the front lines.

There's of course plenty for them to do to support the Guardsmen, plus in extremis they're a reserve if things get really life threateningly bad.

Marines unless MPs, and I don't think these are or mostly are, are also a very very bad choice for a front line job like this. Too likely to kill innocents, as for example has happened on the southern border.

Maybe duty in the sandbox has changed that, but it would be bad to count of that, especially since there will be some number of newer lower ranking ones without that experience.

@Humpleupagus @Tony @ins0mniak @mitchconner I have seen the first page of one recently appeals court document that started out saying "TROs and preliminary injunctions are basically the same thing," so....
