The White House claims a left-wing judicial 'insurrection.' But many GOP and Trump nominees are rebuking the president,

Around 2 p.m. Saturday, top White House adviser Stephen Miller took to X to warn of a “growing movement of leftwing terrorism” that is “shielded by far-left Democrat judges.”

Mere hours later, President Donald Trump’s attempts to use the military on US soil to combat this supposed threat suffered their biggest blow to date.

But it didn’t come from a “Democrat judge”; it came from someone Trump himself had nominated in 2018, US District Judge Karin Immergut.

By the end of the weekend, Immergut had ruled against Trump twice. She did so both for the administration’s initial attempted National Guard deployment to Portland, Oregon, and then again after suggesting it had defied her initial order by attempting to send in California troops. She even floated the idea that Trump was effectively trying to illegally implement “martial law.”

And this is more of a placeholding, trench-digging exercise to slow the appalling spread of fascism and racist policies increasingly embraced by the dregs of the former "republican" party.
