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.
