National Guard troops have been in D.C. since August. A federal judge ruled Thursday that both deployments — D.C. National Guard and out-of-state troops — likely violate the law.
Ah, man, regarding the actions over the past eleven months, Dt played the lawyers and courts. His approach to legal proceedings, reminiscent of his past conduct in New York City, suggests a strategic manipulation of the judicial system, a tactic he likely honed under his former mentor, Mr. Cohn... Lie, cheat, never admit defeat, and never follow the rule of law. Basically, I'm tired of hearing the phase, "likely illegal." What crap!!!!!!
I’m sorry, but, the comment is completely addressed and rebutted in the story. As the story notes, the National Guard deployment has been blocked in multiple locations, so, the litigation has been making a difference.
Second, the “likely,” as also explained in the story, is about the status of the case. It’s a preliminary injunction, so the standard is “likelihood of success on the merits.” No reason to call it “crap.” It is the legal standard at this point in the litigation.
I was surprised by the Posse Comitatus Act parts of the decision..I had heard from the beginning that it didn't apply here in DC. What the judge said made sense to me -not a lawyer- but I'd love to hear more about it, especially in regards to the decision's vulnerability on appeal.
Sad it took so long, but VERY glad up see the decision.
Expect tirades in ALL CAPS and a stamping of the foot—Baby Huey on a tear of vituperation and grievance.
So, too, from Mein Herr Miller.

Pesky little things, the law and Constitution.

Likely illegal is like the courts being likely slow
