OK - now Trump v. Newsom, about deployments in LA, before Judges Bennett, Miller, and Sung. DOJ lawyer: there is a long history of courts not reviewing such decisions. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Trump Verdict book: amazon.com/Trump-Trial-Ma… x.com/innercitypress…
DOJ lawyer: There was a smooth hand-off of forces.
Judge Bennett: Do you read in the District Court's decision a definitive statement of what should have been done? How does the US interpret the order?
DOJ lawyer: There was no technical violation here
Judge Bennett: Are the federal forces doing more than the state's proposed carve-out?
DOJ lawyer: Yes. They are protecting the Federal buildings and immigration enforcement personnel.
Judge Miller: On the Posse Comitatus Act-
DOJ lawyer: Not being violated.
Judge Bennett: That about the Tenth Amendment?
DOJ lawyer: There is not Tenth Amendment issue if the President was acting lawfully. I'd like to address the situation on the ground. The Santa Cruz declarations are crucial. On Fri June 6, a mob tried to obstruct.
DOJ lawyer: On June 7, one officer got a shattered wrist due to cement blocks being thrown. That was a week ago. There is still ongoing violence. The Federal building in LA has still be closed since June 9
Judge Bennett: Now counsel for the State and Governor of California.
CA lawyer: The only statute invoked here requires one of three requisites be met. But here for the first time in our history they circumvented the Governor. So the District Court acted
CA lawyer: A stay pending appeal would injure California and our country more broadly. It would defy our Constitution-
Judge Bennett: The Order says as long as the President can in some way or manner execute the laws of the US, he can't invoke the statute- right?
CA lawyer: The order need not be read that expansively
Judge Sung: If we were dealing with a blank slate I would tend to agree with you. But we are not.
CA lawyer: The determination about a foreign invasion implicates sensitive considerations, distinguishable
CA lawyer: We think this Court should be cautious about using older cases-
Judge Bennett: The Supreme Court tells us to follow their cases. Where in the jurisprudence of the Take Care clause required to have judicial review?
CA lawyer: From the third prong
CA lawyer: The President's unlawful mission on the streets of LA harm the state's use of its national guard to fight fires. It hurts our democratic traditions - not just 60 days, which could be extended further by Secretary Hegseth
DOJ lawyer (with reserved time) Here, the statute includes not only invasion but two other prongs, including domestic matters. It's still good law.
DOJ lawyer: We ask your Honors to grant out application for a stay pending appeal, or time to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Judge Bennett: Under advisement.
Adjourned
[Inner City Press will stay on these cases
