"The court should immediately stay the district court’s extraordinary order because it interferes with the president’s commander in chief powers based on an erroneous interpretation of the applicable statute. It upends the military chain of command. It gives state governors veto power over the president’s military orders. It puts Article 3 judges on a collision course with the commander in chief. And it endangers lives."

"The problem as we see it is that there’s really nothing to defer to here because the president has not even attempted. Defendants have made no attempt whatsoever to provide argument or evidence that they even contemplated more modest measures to the extreme response of calling in the National Guard and militarizing the situation."

"What he has done by commandeering the National Guard and using the Marines is obviously illegal. And any competent court would not even be entertaining this as a legitimate act by the president."

STORYLINE:
A federal appeals court in San Francisco heard arguments Tuesday afternoon on whether the Trump administration should return control of National Guard troops to California after they were deployed following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.
The hearing comes after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by the administration last week to temporarily pause a lower court order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of the soldiers to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who filed a lawsuit over the deployment.
Judge Mark Bennett, who was appointed by Trump, started the hearing held via video by asking the federal government’s attorney, Brett Shumate, whether the Department of Justice’s position is that the courts have no role in reviewing the president’s decision to call the National Guard.
“No, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision,” Shumate answered.
“The statute says the president may call on federal service members and units of the Guard of any state in such numbers that he considers necessary," Shumate said, adding that “couldn’t be any more clear.”
Shumate pointed out the ongoing protests in Los Angeles and said the Guard is necessary to protect federal officers and buildings.
