Charlie Angus you give me hope that it will get better and we will return to normal. What you are doing is important to a lot of people like me a Canadian living in America scared to death of what's to come. It's truly horrible here the worry is overwhelming.

Then I read your message and hope comes back.

Thank you for that hope.

We were all born pure and innocent ! We were all born needing nourishment and physical care. We were all born with free will and the need of parental love and moral guidance. Those of us who were privy to primary nourishment and who were born in a free democratic country, perhaps some time forget that we think and respond differently to others who were not ...But what excuse can be given for the % of people who were born with the same rights and opportunities as the rest of us ? How can any one not question the validity of ones' character and principles of someone who openly embraces the pathetic illusions of a proven criminal, a demented egotistical evil human and who at the same time claim that they are a church going Christian ?

This morning, around 9am Pacific Time, the 9th Circuit has given its decision to leave Trump's Troops in LA under the control of the presidency while California's case winds its way through the courts.

In the meantime, they deferred to Trumps "judgement" of national security issues, erring on the side of caution, until it’s more clearly determined whether what Trump believes is actually grounded in reality.

They rejected Trumps argument that he could do anything. The court emphasized that while it is deferring to the president’s judgment at this stage, it does not consider that judgment immune from legal challenge.

No matter what had happened in the 9th Circuit ruling, both sides were prepared to take the fight all the way. Eventually, the Supreme Court will have the final say.

Historically, SCOTUS has ruled against unchecked presidential power in similar cases. Even though Trump won the 9th Circuit appeal, the Supreme Court is likely to overturn it later just on precedent alone.

“This case is far from over,” California's Attorney General Rob Bonta said in response to the [9th Circuit] ruling. “While the court did not provide immediate relief for [LA] today, we remain confident in our arguments and will continue the fight.”

“The court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court,” Newsom said. “The President is not a king and is not above the law. We will press forward with our challenge to President Trump’s authoritarian use of U.S. military soldiers against citizens.”

Newsom and California are already appealing the 9th Circuit's decision.

The ruling Thursday morning largely returns the case back to Judge Breyer.

Unlike Breyer, whose order returned control of the National Guard to California, the 9th Circuit largely ignored the question of whether Los Angeles protests constituted a “rebellion.”

Judge Breyer will later hear on the same day of the 9th Circuit ruling, an injunction request from California that expands the original issues to include Trump’s misuse of the Marines and the Posse Comitatus Act.

Along the way, these arguments will be further refined and the interpretation of the law and constitution will become more obvious to everybody. It's how the judiciary process works to get to the bottom of things.

It's important to continue peaceful protests using signage and speeches, while still showing our visibly growing numbers.

Do not give Trump a chance to legitimize his deployment of the national guard, or the use of his paramilitary version of the gestapo he calls ICE.

Trump can command National Guard as California’s legal challenge moves forward, appeals court says

Just wondering if there's a "button" you can install on your substack where folks can toss in a donation if they're feeling flush? That would be helpful for subscribers who might want to contribute more.

Elizabeth, I'd love to get to New Brunswick! That's where Jan's family are all from so she's been pushing the idea! We would need organizers on the ground to help us put a tour stop together.

Charlie Angus,,You and your team are the only truthful and unbiased source of information that we can rely on. To think of losing any of your much needed commentaries is unthinkable! Today's fractured and unthinkable farce of journalism has become totally disgraceful to the profession itself.

Trump inherited the title "Leader of the Free World" but we all can see clearly he hasn't earned it. And now, in America, we are anything but free.

In your opinion, who is the leader of the free world?
