UPDATE: LOS ANGELES, June 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests over stepped-up immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court ruling that blocked the mobilization.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean that the court will ultimately agree with Trump, but it does leave command of the Guard with the president for now.

MS Comment: They didn't reverse anything, they just administratively ruled tht they would stay the implementation of Breyer's order until they have a hearing on it next week.

I really appreciate your writings, Michael. They’re well reasoned and avoid editorializing, of which we have a surplus.

I don’t understand why it occurs so frequently within lawsuits relating to this administration, that a judge will allow the contested activity to continue until a further hearing.

It seems to play right into their hands, allowing them to ‘get away with’ something that they know has no legal standing, for as long as they can successfully delay.

Someone who knows law and legal proceedings better than i may be able to weigh in, but I’m assuming that this is the norm, and the admin has found a way to conveniently exploit the common practice?

It is something that the Tr**p administration is well aware of and with that expectation keeping it under appeal and asking for a stay is a routine procedure that they use to work the courts.

Thank you for this deeper look. It was enlightening. It also eased my mind knowing that we have a rights against federal, military takeover. It's also good to know that there are fair and thoughtful judges out there defending those rights.

Thankyou for this. I do not understand how an appeals court could over ride such a well thought out and justified ruling.

I would love the see the justification of the appeals court ruling to see what the justification and process that occurred and what issues were raised to obtain that ruling.

Thanks!!The appeals court didn’t rule on the merits….it was just “administrative stay” that extended the effective date of Breyer ruling from Friday at noon to June 20 at noon—a week later giving them time to hear arguments.

Trump didn't win the election a recount proves. Remove him.
