The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled President Trump may not deploy the National Guard to the Chicago area for now amid his push for military troops to patrol the streets of Democratic-led cities, a major loss for the president at the high court.

After more than two months of consideration, the court refused to pause a district judge’s ruling temporarily blocking hundreds of National Guard members from being federalized and deployed across Illinois, rejecting the government’s emergency request.

Well fuck me, didn't see THAT ruling coming. Maybe someone should check they've not come down with some severe illness, like a brain tumor or morals

They only ruled this way once the “mission” was over.

I expect this to be the plan to whitewash the SCROTUS when the option exists.

It’s also why they are delaying judgements and reversing stays with the shadow docket. So they can rule against future non-republican administrations on the same suits.

Same vibes as "Supreme Court recognizes Cherokee Nation as sovereign state"

Wow, you know Trump's reached the end of his rope when even his rubber stamp court runs out of ink!

[-] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Maybe one of the liberal justices put a their gun on the table to start the negotiations

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Careful with that. That will truly begin civil war and martial law. With the first round comes massive force. Tread carefully. This ain't no game.

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 6 points 4 months ago

Nah, I don't think any of them are capable of acting crazy enough to be a believable threat. Trump's just blown way past even the most patient & indulgent parent's limits & it's finally gotten to the point where they're embarrassed enough to actually... you know... PARENT.

My hypothesis is way more fun though

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 points 4 months ago

Can't argue that - would love to see it happen.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Too little, too late, scotus. Who will listen to you protest now? Donald "immunity for official presidential acts" trump or Pete "suggesting troops disobey illegal orders is treason" Hegseth?

"Won't allow"

BWAAHAhahahaha ha ha ha. Oh. Oh, that's rich. Defunct group of judges who made a series of decisions that shit all over the law now indicate that someone can't do something because of the law that they have no physical power to enforce. Oh, thanks for the laugh, SCOTUS.

[-] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

SCOTUS has the power to deputize their own agents in order to enforce it's rulings.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

That's odd.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

"John Roberts has made his decision. Now let him enforce it" -- Trump, probably, if he was educated. But it'll probably be Stephen Miller saying that to himself right now.
