The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just overruled the lower court Trump judge who blocked President Trump from sending National Guard troops to Portland.

But the order, while green-lighting the federalization of the Oregon National Guard, still doesn’t allow for deployment in Portland of any National Guard.

There will be an Appeals Court hearing on this tomorrow.

Here’s the news:

 
Here’s more from The Hill:

A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from calling Oregon National Guard troops into federal service, but he still may not deploy them, for now.

The temporary, administrative stay puts U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut’s order halting Trump’s federalization of the National Guard members on hold while the appeals court weighs whether to extend the pause as it considers the administration’s appeal. But it keeps in place her second order barring the president from sending the troops anywhere in the state.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit wrote in a brief order Wednesday that the decision best preserves the “status quo.”

“The effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed,” they wrote.

The panel — made up of two Trump appointees and an appointee of President Clinton — will hear arguments Thursday about whether to pause Immergut’s order until ruling on the administration’s appeal.

The Trump administration had urged the appeals court to act by Monday, contending Immergut “impermissibly second-guessed” Trump’s military judgments.

“The district court’s order improperly impinges on the Commander in Chiefs supervision of military operations, countermands a military directive to officers in the field and endangers federal personnel and property,” DOJ lawyers wrote in Sunday court filings.

So he can federalize them but he can’t deploy them? C’mon, that doesn’t make any sense. I hope this is resolved tomorrow or you can believe the Supreme Court will be asked to weigh in.
