Andrew Weissmann: 我认为本届政府正在滥用权力，他们利用小概率事件，并夸大其词，以此来为他们的专制行为辩护。他们甚至扭曲英语，以达到其不正当的目的。例如，在洛杉矶发生的事件并非入侵或叛乱，因此派遣国民警卫队是不合理的。他们夸大问题，以实现其专制目标，剥夺人民的权利。即使要驱逐非法移民，也必须遵守法律，给予他们正当程序。遵守法律是法治国家的体现，即使是为了驱逐非法移民。针对特定种族或国籍的人进行搜查违反了平等保护条款和第四修正案。本届政府剥夺了被驱逐者的正当程序，导致最高法院多次做出不利于政府的裁决。总之，我认为本届政府的行为是荒谬的，他们正在破坏法治。 Tim Miller: 我理解您的担忧，但如果法院阻止总统调动国民警卫队，这可能会引发政治危机。此外，将资源转移到移民问题上是否明智也值得商榷。然而，我也同意您的观点，即必须遵守法律，即使是为了驱逐非法移民。

Chapters
This chapter discusses the lawsuit filed by California's governor and attorney general against the federal government over the deployment of National Guard troops. The legality of this action under Title 10 authority and the Posse Comitatus Act is debated, highlighting the administration's alleged distortion of facts to justify its actions.
  • Lawsuit filed against administration for illegal takeover of California National Guard.
  • Administration's actions violate the Constitution and exceed presidential authority.
  • The administration uses a tiny kernel of fact and blows it out of proportion.
  • The deployment of troops is an overreaction and escalates the situation.

Shownotes Transcript

Trump is outright fabricating a justification for sending Guard troops into Los Angeles, and his directive is not limited only to LA. So, if someone acts violent during a 'No Kings' protest on Saturday somewhere in America, would he deploy the National Guard there too? The potential chilling effect on our First Amendment rights to protest is enormous. Plus, masks are liberating ICE agents to act with impunity, Kash is a thin-skinned beta cuck, and the new self-appointed chair of the Kennedy Center was greeted with a mix of boos and cheers on the opening night performance of "Les Miz."

Andrew Weissmann joins Tim Miller.
