2 The judge ignored the fact that the local government(s) abdicated their responsibilities to an armed rebellion.

3 I'm tired of judges trying to be a president. Troops are the commander in chief's domain. The fact you think it might cause "disruption" is immaterial to the rules.

Give up your position and never practice law again. You have lost the public trust.

6 defy federal law barring military involvement in domestic law enforcement
For decades Coast Guard have been assigned to US Navy ships to accompany boarding actions. All he needs to do (IANAL) is assign some of those surplus Washington DC FBI agents to make the arrests.

Besides, the judge's opinion on the size of the protests is irrelevant to the legal issue.

7 Maybe Trump should send the Idaho National Guard. Those boys could have a lotta fun in Portland.

But then, there is precedent for sending federal troops to troubled cities such as when Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock. Maybe Immergut is too young to remember that far back.

But I'd rather see some of those Antifa types running up against the Marines.

8 If Trump really wanted to have fun, he could call forth the class 2 militia from the eastern counties of the state. Watch a traffic jam of F150s and Jeeps with beer cans strewn along the road. Hunting season is on.

9 I have come to the conclusion that major elements within the demokrat leadership coalition WANT bloodshed to give them the images and talking points to justify all the demonization of Trump et al. Useful idiot foot-soldiers like Antifa are perfect for this, and the dumbest among them will be the "sacrificial lambs". They have to have a Kent State event to maintain their hold on the Karen base and the OCONUS/Billionaire money supply. De-railing the Trump economic progress, military readiness improvements, investigative justice actions and growing nationalism among the youth scares them deeply. What theu also see, is nobody wants to go back to the conditions of the 3rd Obama/grifting administration!
