🚨BREAKING: Trump files a response in opposition to Newsom's Motion for a TRO re National Guard troops. 1/

3/ Great line: "There is no rioters' veto to enforcement of federal law."

4/ continuing:

5/ Trump claims he did convey the order "through" the governor:

6/ As Trump notes forcing the order to be "by" Newsom would translate into a veto power that doesn't exist.

7/ Excellent point: If anyone violated the statute it was Newsom!

8/ And it ain't Posse Comitatus.

9/9 I see NO way this judge is granting a TRO or an injunction.
