Even IF upheld... it does not apply to the Marines. California has zero jurisdiction over them.
California citizens would be better served by having its own local Guardsmen preventing attacks on Federal Property than the US Marines.
Interesting that some people still think of the National Guard as a state force.
Most states just live off the teat of the national government, and just have "their" National Guard units (funded by the US government...all weapons and equipment provided by the US national government...paychecks of soldiers from the US government). Only when the governor activates them does the State pay anything. The US allows the states to activate these units for emergencies, but reserves the right to nationalize them under certain conditions, and an invasion is not required...war is not required. Ever since the end of the Cold War, national guard units have become more and more important to the national defense of the United States, and they are activated by the national government fairly frequently. Just for example, the Nevada National Guard just returned from deployment overseas, even though there was no war they fought in. One would wonder if that was illegal in the San Francisco court's eyes.
Texas is an interesting case, in that they have both (1) a Texas National Guard (federal troops, funded by the US national government, like all other national guard units), and (2) a Texas State Guard (funded entirely by the State of Texas). If California wants its own Guard, not subject to nationalization by POTUS, then perhaps it should fund an organization like that. I will be shocked if SCOTUS limits POTUS power to nationalize Guard units in any way. If it does, then I suspect Guard units will just be absorbed into the Reserves, and if any State wants the capability of activating a Guard unit, it will have to form their own State Guard units like Texas does.
And the appeals court halted it.

Would you have stopped obeying orders before the Appeals Court could rule?
See the problem?
Trump will win this. Feds are doing their job and locals are incapable of protecting them.
His other option is to arm and send in either the FBI or the Post Office.
He’s already lost. Americans do no support Trump’s harsh tactics.

Majority of Americans support this as do many legal migrants.
Those that don't support these "harsh" tactics are those who are not affected. There are probably many Ds who support these "harsh" tactics but are too afraid to go public. Very Soviet like of the D hierarchy to tamp down opposing views.
I live in a border city and I have yet to be adversely affected by illegal…
Immigration.
While I am against illegal immigration, the majority of illegals are trying to find a better life for their families. Unfortunately, the few criminals that sneak in fuck it up for the majority.
The people who object are the ones that want to cram their values down everyone's throat
and then burn down cities when they don't get their way.
No cities are being burned down. The riots in LA are pretty centralized in…
a 1/2 square mile.
It wasn't Republicans who set Minneapolis on fire or DC for that matter

Neither city was burned down.

In fairness, those “LAFD lesbians” are far better fire fighters than you’ll ever be…
No offense intended.

Not better than MAS though. He spits on fires to put em out. The armchair geniuses here are

Or invade the Capitol when their election interference doesn’t work. You think MAGA isn’t trying to
cram IT’S values down everyone’s throat? Stop being a hypocrite.
Republicans aren't the ones pushing DEI/transgender nonsense in schools. Virtue signal much?

California is strong. Trump is weak, very weak.

That’s why its citizens are fleeing the state.
Yikes! Wikipedia even has a page devoted to this natural catastrophe

Fleeing the state and voting the exact way in their new state that had them move in the first place.

The memorandum opinion reflects the enormity of Trump’s disregard for the rule of law.
It wasn’t a close call. Newsom was correct on every point.
Any White House or DOD or DOJ lawyers who green lighted Trump’s decision to send troops to Los Angeles should be disbarred.

There is some precedent for this...the last time the Democrats did this, in South Carolina, 1861.
