**Thread: Judge Breyer’s ruling blocking Trump’s use of the National Guard in California is legally flawed and dangerous. Here’s why. 🧵**

1. Judge Charles Breyer just overruled a lawful federal deployment of troops, handing control of the Guard back to Governor Newsom. That’s not how federal authority works.

2. Under **10 U.S.C. § 12406**, the President *may* federalize Guard units when unrest disrupts law enforcement. The law does *not* require a governor’s permission or “routing orders” through the state.

3. Breyer says there was no “rebellion” — but that’s a political judgment, not a legal one. Federal buildings were attacked, and federal personnel were threatened. That qualifies under precedent.

4. The **TRO (temporary restraining order)** was issued based on speculative state harms — but it caused real harm by paralyzing federal troop deployments during unrest.

5. This ruling invites chaos: if every governor can block federal actions in court mid-crisis, there is no unified national defense — only 50 lawsuits.

6. The Ninth Circuit should overturn this. Not to protect Trump — but to preserve the basic structure of federal power in times of crisis.

**End thread.**

Neat: NYU university was apparently hacked, with (claimed) graphs of admission data by race posted. If these are correct DEI is very much in effect.
