    They swore to uphold the Constitution. So far their orders are within the law.

          Again, even if the justification is 100% bogus??

          This sounds like yet another move of the goal post to justify inaction

            Of course it’s bogus, not sure what the remedy would be, but DC is a weird jurisdiction, he can do this for a total of 30 days.

              But if the framework of the law that allows Trump to deploy the National Guard is based on having an actual emergency and not because the moron-in-chief felt like it, then a bogus emergency does not met the mark (not been a real emergency and all)… therefore, his order is illegal

              Now, if you are telling me that a president can occupy DC with the National Guard because they felt like it (i.e. no actual emergency needed), then it means you were already living in a fascist regime even before it became as obvious as it is today
