quashing protests, will eventually leader to larger protests and then uprising, and maybe a rebellion eventually.

Do you want a rebellion? Cause this how you get rebellions
Yes, they do, because it will distract from the US joining a war in Iran, and from all of trumps other crimes.
I thought the war in Iran was to distract from the protests? What are they going to do to distract from the rebellion then?
It's distraction upon distraction upon distraction while they steal the country.
It's not even a plan. It's notions of a plan.
It's distractions all the way down

That's fascism, folks.
Arm yourselves.
Also, maybe don't do something dumb like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting next time around. Y'all were warned. Now it's happening.

Tastes like fascism.
So much to unpack there...
So the bestest president evah now caused a rebellion? Did that ever happen before to any president? Oh yeah, under trump 1 there was January the 6th, instigated and orchestrated by king Cheeto
And now there is another rebellion?
I mean, it's demonstrations but seeing that distinction is hard for smooth brain idiots
Then telling judges that they can't say no because else they can't stop a rebellion? I mean, you STARTED it, if you want to stop it's really easy: STOP BREAKING THE LAW!
And stop telling judges they can't do their job
The keyword is rebellion...
But it is not really about current protests ... it is to have all lights on green when there actually IS a rebellion cooking so the response can be swift and far beyond proportions.
Someone got a C in high school civics.
No, they just failed up.
Sounds like Dictatorship to me
Telling the court that the court has no say. Bold move Cotton….
I mean hes done it before with no consequences so we'll see

This is dictatorship. It's mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.
That is how they want everyone to feel so there isn't much fight back. However, I think if there was, and the gloves came off, it may also split Republicans and even Trumpers.
Whelp. Trump now has the means to get his 3rd term.
Obama 2028!
You are funny. He'll be dead before even giving the thought that he is running.
Welcome to fascism.
yea, that's how fascism works. "judges" are there to protect the state from the people, not the other way around
The DOJ attorney emphasized that “sustained mob violence” in response to ICE raids is “no ordinary civil unrest,” claimed that it is ongoing, and asserted that such violence is “expressly aimed at preventing federal officers from enforcing federal law,” supporting Trump’s federalization of the Golden State’s National Guard.
That's just a lie, isn't it?
Well, it's mostly true. I mean this isn't normal civil unrest. This is the people being fed up with a government trying to use fear as a weapon against it's own people. And the mob violence isn't generally preventing federal officers from doing what they want, it is in response to it. There is some mob shouting preventing some federal officers ftom doing what they want.
But issue at hand is that the law is very vague about the quantity needed to trigger the allowance of using the national guard. By just reading it, ICE could send a single agent to arrest 5 people in a facility that has 500. If the people stop the arrests, then it meets the written requirements. It ludicrous though to interpret it that way of course. But since it was written so poorly, we are at the mercy of the courts.
That's standard Republican strategy. A lot of the cases that ended up in front of the Supreme Court are straight up manufactured. In the case of the lady who refused to create a website for a gay wedding, they contacted the guy who supposedly made the request and he'd never heard of it before. Republican operatives basically looked up a gay guy in San Francisco and used his details in the website's contact form.
Despite all that, the courts happily took the case and ruled on a complete fiction. Same thing happened in the case of the coach that forced his football team to pray.

Literally fabricated "intelligence."

Even if it were true, that does not amount to rebellion. Nobody is trying to overthrow the federal government.
Yet.
Isn't everything the fascist assholes say a lie?

when there is no justice there is.....
No peace
I think there has always been a lack of justice in the USA; we see this power struggle now because the powerful are fragmented.
Which is one reason why I think protests will become less no matter what; the track record is horrible . Most politically active people today don’t have the instincts or reactions needed.
It’s not all bad news, this will create a political vacuum where the left can start to gain
thank you for the response. I agree.
though I guess I'm not sure if left vs right is the best future state, as the rich seem to own both parties which they proceed to provide us the illusion of choice.
I would happily reply I do not see any leftists in congress ; I see a handful of left leaning moderates.
But yes, I believe most of congress are creatures of the complex webs of real power. Those few who are not, carefully observe the bounds they know they cannot cross.
And since I believe states without paper ballots, counted in front of witnesses and allowing recounts are not proper democracies. Who knows who would really win the primaries at the state and local levels? Much less the general elections.
There is no choice, none at all, on so many different ways and levels .
What makes it so much worse is that 95% of the politically active people are just fine with all the above
there never were, its mostly center right, outside of only a couple. us is considered the most right wing western country.
Pitchforks?
That's some incredibly intense kneeling they're doing right there. Who knew the DOJ was so good at kissing the floor?
"BECAUSE WE SAID SO!! OKAY?!"
"Because once we have that power, we'll use it on you if you speak out."

And Harvey Weinstein's lawyers say he's totally innocent too...
trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they're always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:
“Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn't dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he's just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.
It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.
SCOTUS is an appeals court, they rule on lower court findings.
A lower court can't "kick it to the SC". They have to make a ruling.
