  • “In a San Francisco courtroom, all three judges, two appointed by Trump in his first term …”

    “Judge Mark Bennett, a Trump appointee, opened the hearing by asking whether the courts have a role in reviewing the president’s decision to call up the national guard. Brett Shumate, an attorney for the federal government, said they did not. “The statute says the president may call on federal service members and units of the Guard of any state in such numbers that he considers necessary,” Shumate said, adding that the statute “couldn’t be any more clear”. Shumate made several references to “mob violence” in describing ongoing protests in Los Angeles. But Mayor Karen Bass lifted a curfew for downtown Los Angeles Tuesday, saying acts of vandalism and violence that prompted her curfew a week ago had subsided. “It is essential that this injunction be stayed, otherwise, lives and property will be at risk,” Shumate said.”
