Explosive Court Ruling In Trump Case Has Major Implications For The Rule Of Law - Glenn Kirschner [View all]
As a result of a new ruling by a California appeals court, the people's First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly suffered a setback. The rule of law suffered a setback. Justice suffered a setback.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals left a stay in place, blocking the trial court's order that Trump must turn control of the California National Guard back to Governor Newsom.
Fortunately, the ruling is a temporary/interim ruling and the case is far from over.
This video discusses some of the unfortunate aspects of this ruling, including how Trump gets to create chaos and confusion in California and then uses that chaos as a pretext to order the military into the streets of California. No court should endorse such a transparent ruse and abuse of power. - Glenn Kirschner - 06/20/2025.
