Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, December 23, 2025

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.

He started out as a spoiled brat, then Daddy left him a huge pile of money that he wasted.

Then he turned into a successful con artist and eventually became President.

Now he has a lot of money and power, but not much of a mind left.

And in the middle of that, he had an actual Mafia Don teach him how to commit crimes and get away with them.

You need to read the ruling...

Not even all the rwingers can justify Trump's Gestapo measures.

Supreme Court, in the dissent, confirms that Trump has the authority via the Insurrection Act to send in the US Military.

SC is basically saying Trump has been playing nice.

I did. As I do with most court rulings. Your interpretation of this case is off base. The Court said the Buffoon ain't showed legal authority to do this. Yet. The Buffoon fights another day. So sayeth the SC.

I'm guessing you're not familiar with court procedure but dissents don't mean s**t.

You need to educate yourself upon the subject matter at hand. Dissent does not a ruling make. It's the losing opinion. Not the winning one.
