Re: President Trump 2.0

The Supreme Court said Tuesday it would not allow President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in the Chicago area for now, a significant setback for his campaign to push troops into cities across the country over the objections of local and state leaders.
The president’s ability to federalize the National Guard likely only applies in “exceptional” circumstances, the court’s unsigned order said.
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch dissented from the court’s unsigned order. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh filed a separate concurrence.
The Chicago case is the first time the Supreme Court has weighed in on one of Trump’s attempted deployments of National Guard forces. While temporary, the order could have far-reaching effects by repudiating Trump’s claim of virtually unchecked authority to mobilize and deploy troops he says are necessary to fight crime and protect immigration enforcement officers.
The order could affect how lower courts rule in other cases where local and state officials have sued to block Trump’s deployments, such as in Portland, Oregon. It may have less immediate effect on the National Guard deployment in D.C. because of the federal government’s unique role in overseeing the nation’s capital.
