The Supreme Court on Tuesday barred President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago to protect ICE agents, handing the White House a rare loss at the high court as the president has sought to send troops to multiple American cities.
“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.
Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the opinion.

What’s the reason they’re trying to use to justify sending the national guard to Chicago

I mean, SCOTUS is also going to overturn Humphrey’s Executor and crown Trump as King of all of the United States so what does this matter? They’re also on track to overturn birthright citizenship and gut the Voting Rights Act. They’ve already signaled their intent to elevate Trump to supreme ruler of the nation so what does this matter?

Best Christmas present I’ve gotten all year. Now throw the dissenters off, please. This *should have been* 9-0 against. Clear abuse of power.

I wonder if we’ll see apologies from everyone who said the Supreme Court is in Trump’s pocket.

Good. Makes it a bit tougher for him to deploy the military for another Jan 20 type event. That was one major missing piece for Trump for what happened in 2020 – the insurrectionists were a major but an irregular force.

The Supreme Court throws us a bone every now and then to try and save face

That’s a strange outcome. With this wording, it seems to imply that the president either must invoke the insurrection act or simply does not have the authority to violate posse comitatus in the first place. Going even further, mentioning regular forces being first before the guard is a scary implication.

One day, he’s going to send troops to the Supreme court after they do their annual “rule against trump”

So…he’s just going to do it anyway, right? Just like everything else he’s been told not to do?

Trump’s plan – do it anyway. Wait for the ruling or the lawsuit. Deploy them somewhere else. Repeat.

Of course the most corrupt justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the opinion. Treasonous trump will either not listen and keep the NG there or find another way to terrorize Chicago and kidnap people

Glad they are looking out for our national guard because it’s a scary place.

ICE are the invaders and should not be there. Remove ICE and there is no need to protect them.

They’ll give him a much bigger win for something else instead. We’ve seen this show enough times.

SCOTUS has finally figured out that rubber-stamping this wannabe dictator’s tantrums is only going to bring them down with his flaming, sinking ship.

Interesting to see 2 out of 3 Trump’s Justices agree here I wonder if the rats are all trying to get off the sinking ship. I am not surprised at all by the dissent.

Lol funny, when armed forces are involved then they believe in the 10th amendment.

They werent fucking useful for jan 6th because of the president. History shows that it doesnt matter if the president has the power because of political bias in the actual use of powers.

All you people who constantly assert that the supreme court is totally in Trump’s pocket and will always rule in his favor, you have been proven wrong so many times now.
The supreme court is loyal to the Republican party and the wealthy interests they accept bribes from. They’re not loyal to Trump.
They made Trump bring Garcia back. They blocked the national guard from being deployed to cities for no reason for good with this ruling. And they’re about to rule against Trump’s signature trade policy, and against his birthright citizenship ban just watch.
He does not control the supreme court.

He’s living proof its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, and he doesnt ask for forgiveness.

“Nothing in today’s ruling detracts from that core agenda”
Oh good, so you admit you were deploying the National Guard for no purpose. Seems like something you would not want to say when there are still lawsuits regarding illegal National Guard deployments.
