Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The Supreme Court on Tuesday left in place a ruling by a federal judge in Chicago that bars the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois. In a three-page unsigned order, the justices turned down the government's request to put the temporary restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge April Perry on Oct. 9 on hold while litigation continues in the lower courts.

"At this preliminary stage," the court said, "the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois."

"Three justices dissented from Tuesday's order. Justice Samuel Alito, in a 16-page decision joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, wrote that "[w]hatever one may think about the current administration's enforcement of the immigration laws or the way ICE has conducted its operations, the protection of federal officers from potentially lethal attacks should not be thwarted."

Justice Neil Gorsuch indicated that he too would have granted the government's request."

Not even all the rwingers can justify Trump's Gestapo measures. What they do seem to do is whine about how since they are already there, they have to be protected.

Making whatever their Cult Leader does a fait accompli. Which they can still do.
