This is discouraging. A three-judge panel in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for Trump to send troops into Portland, Oregon.

From Democracy Docket:]

A federal appeals court Monday all but cleared the way for President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon.

A three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2 to 1 to fully stay a district court order that prevented Trump from sending federalized troops into the city over the objections of Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) and local officials.

Two judges appointed by Trump voted to stay the lower court order, while an appointee of former President Bill Clinton voted to uphold it.

A second district court order that bars Trump from deploying federalized troops in the state remained in effect. However, in light of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling Monday, the Department of Justice will likely ask that the second order be dissolved, which would allow Trump to officially move troops in.

(Reuters) - A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday that Trump can send National Guard troops into Portland despite objections by the leaders of the city and state, giving the president an important legal victory as he dispatches military forces to a growing number of Democratic-led locales.

1. Remedy: call for a general strike.

Empty the streets so military has nothing to do.

2. There are no riots. There is no looting. There is no Antifa "Terrorism".

There are protests at the ICE facility. That's it. The fantasies of Rightwing Milita are bullshit.

There's no reason to do this other than it fits the Administration Narrative. They're trying to pick a fight.

Thanks, 3-judge panel.

3. There mayl be an en banc rehearing of this ruling

First, a Ninth Circuit judge has sua sponte — on their own — already called for a vote on whether there should be an en banc rehearing

Next, the full Ninth Circuit has called for rehearing briefing by 11:59 PM on Wednesday on whether President Trump may deploy the National Guard

Normally this type of motion takes far more time
