Trump vs. Newsom’s Court Showdown
A recent federal discussion highlighted a California judge, who happens to be the brother of a retired Supreme Court Justice. This judge is tasked with examining whether President Donald Trump acted within his legal rights when he sent the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles earlier this year in response to immigration protests.
Judge Charles Breyer, appointed by Bill Clinton and brother to Justice Stephen Breyer, is hearing a case brought by the Newsom administration. They allege that the federal government may have overstepped its bounds regarding the use of military forces on domestic soil, particularly with respect to the 10th Amendment.
This situation will likely test the extent of the President’s power as commander-in-chief. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 requires either Congress or the Constitution’s permission to deploy U.S. military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes. It’s… well, a complicated issue.
