Federal judge orders the end of National Guard deployment to Washington DC
Jia Cobb, a federal district judge, argued that President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington D.C. intruded on local law enforcement’s duties of addressing law enforcement issues for the city. Cobb argued that this “takeover” was illegal. The judge put this order on hold for 21 days pending an appeal from the Trump administration.
From AP News:
U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb concluded that President Donald Trump’s military takeover in Washington, D.C., illegally intrudes on local officials’ authority to direct law enforcement in the district. She put her order on hold for 21 days to allow for an appeal, however.
District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued to challenge the Guard deployments. He asked the judge to bar the White House from deploying Guard troops without the mayor’s consent while the lawsuit plays out.
Dozens of states took sides in Schwalb’s lawsuit, with their support falling along party lines.
Cobb found that while the president does have authority to protect federal functioning and property, he can’t unilaterally deploy the D.C. National Guard to help with crime control as he sees fit or call in troops from other states.
After her ruling, Schwalb called for troops to be sent home. “Normalizing the use of military troops for domestic law enforcement sets a dangerous precedent, where the President can disregard states’ independence and deploy troops wherever and whenever he wants — with no check on his military power,” Schwalb said.
The White House, though, stood by the deployment.
“President Trump is well within his lawful authority to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C., to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement with specific tasks,” said spokeswoman Abigail Jackson. “This lawsuit is nothing more than another attempt — at the detriment of DC residents — to undermine the President’s highly successful operations to stop violent crime in DC.”

They want a shooting war.
Not only do these “unjust judges” (to use the Scriptural designation) need to be impeached, there needs to be financial and penal consequences for their actions.
They’re definitely unjust based on Scriptural terms. The prophets condemned judges who were corrupt (wild animals, ungodly, unjust, wicked, etc.), who labeled the innocent/righteous as guilty and the wicked/guilty as innocent. We see the partisan judges and juries in Washington D.C. fit that description “to the T.” This is also occurring across the country.
As for the shooting war… The first horseman of the apocalypse is “wild animals”. Wild animal describes ungodly/corrupt people. A corrupt (e.g. godless, lawless, wild animals) society tends to increase the risk of bloodshed, which is the second horseman of the apocalypse, “Sword.”

Judge ye not lest ye be judged by knot.
If up to me, I would like to see them wearing the hemp necktie.
I’d love to hear a pro-PDJT47 spokeshole tell these unConstitutional judges
“NO STANDING” and “YOU’RE FIRED”.
That would be schadenfreude music to my ears.
The difference between a federal district court judge and God: God doesn’t think He’s a federal district court judge.
Does not matter what Trump does. Judges will block it whether its legal or not just to try and slow him down and to help the democrats.
It isn’t so much that the murder rate has plummeted, which it has, it is that the homicide department has been freed up to solve other crimes. Most killers that kill for profit kill more than once and so solving these crimes has an echo effect on reducing crime all around.

Up yours, Cobb.
You may find the origins of that phrase go a bit further back, to Henry VIII at least.
Well, the Seditious Six said to disobey orders, so this judges decision is null.
Sounds to me like just another political whore in a Judge’s robe, who appointed that political activist wombat, Clinton, B. Hussein 0bama or Biden?
Just another lawyer sucking on the public teat.
I don’t understand how this work.
How can a district judge stop the President?
I understand the separation of powers, executive, legislative, and judicial.
But I expected only the Supreme Court to be able to stop a Presidential overreach, and then only after a majority rule.
How come a district judge has so much power?
they don’t and maybe after a couple are imprisoned and removed from the bench they will understand that.
