Trump's imaginary "War"

[Syne]

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals quickly overturned the decision (by a federal judge in California), ruling that the president likely acted within his authority by federalizing the Guard to protect federal agents.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the highest court that has ruled on this issue... unless or until it is appealed to and ruled on by the Supreme Court. But even then, how do you think SCOTUS is likely to rule? A SCOTUS ruling would instantly end all lower court suits on the issue.

The restraining order is before the judge. We'll see what she rules.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is over the federal district court for Oregon. So it would also be overturned.

It was nothing to do with this case. This is an entirely different reason. Hence being considered by the judge.

Keep telling yourself that.

Here's what I'm telling myself and everybody else..

PORTLAND, Ore. — "A federal judge has issued a ruling on Oregon's lawsuit challenging the federal deployment of the state's National Guard to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted the state's motion for a temporary restraining order over President Donald Trump's order to deploy 200 National Guard troops to the city.

The temporary restraining order expires Oct. 18.

The ruling comes after a hearing Friday morning concluded with no immediate decision. Immergut began the hearing by asking questions of each side and allowing them about half an hour each to make their case.

Immergut was assigned to the case Thursday evening after U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon recused himself.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed the federal lawsuit against the Trump administration in late September.

Oregon U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden reacted to Saturday's ruling, saying in a statement:

“Today’s victory clearly supports what Oregonians already know: we don’t need or want Donald Trump to provoke conflict by deploying federal troops in our state. I will keep working with local and state officials to ensure Trump does not keep wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to make Portland the center of his perverse fantasy about conducting assaults on U.S. cities.”

And one guess which court that gets appealed to. That's where you'll find out if it has "nothing to do with this case."

[Magical Realist]

You're the moron that falsely claimed this case was already decided. It was not. Obviously there are issues the previous ruling didn't cover. Hence the restraining order. Suck it.

[Syne]

No, I said the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had already ruled. If you could understand simple English, or had a rudimentary comprehension of law, you'd know that since the Ninth Circuit has already ruled, we know what to expect of any similar cases that get appealed to it.

You don't even understand that District Courts, that haven't previously ruled on an issue, can still make their own rulings. Even if their ruling contradicts a higher court.
So you're not only illiterate, you're also legally illiterate. Dunning-Kruger moron.

When a district court fails to follow its appellate court's binding precedent, it may be reversed on appeal.
