'We have rarely faced a more serious moment' than the one now facing Supreme Court: expert [View all]

By Tom Boggioni

Should the conservative majority Supreme Court hand Donald Trump the freedom to deploy the National Guard whenever and wherever he chooses, the president’s “power grab’ will be complete and nothing will ever stop him again.

That is according to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who wrote on her Substack platform, that two cases coming before the court are part of his “drive to make the executive more powerful and to have that power come at the expense of the courts, Congress, and the people.”

As he pointed out, there are two critical cases the court is poised to take up. “The scope of presidential power to federalize and deploy National Guard troops,” and “Whether a president’s decision that such a move is merited is effectively unreviewable by the courts, as Trump alleges.”

Well it doesn't take much imagination on what this maga unitary government court will do to give the fascist leading the party what he wants..........they did after all give the traitor a blank check on immunity.............maybe they will rule by fiat using the shadow docket......................since Roberts is basically a racist supporting hypocrite..............just look at who he clerked for William Rehnquist............the guy that was all in on Operation Eagle and caging............in fact both of them were , and my all time favorite was Bush vs Gore..............
