The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.
The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. The ruling came only hours after a federal judge’s order was to take effect at noon Friday.
Why do the appeal courts sound like “mom said no, so I’m going to ask dad”?
Because that’s generally how appeals work in the US. You can “go ask the other parent” multiple times all the way up to the Supreme Court.
It’s going to eventually lead to divorce.
NGL, this is shaping up to be more of a murder-suicide end to the marriage. 🤢
