We will urge the *full* Ninth Circuit to vacate today’s decision by a three-judge panel, before illegal Guard deployments can occur. A Ninth Circuit judge has already called for a vote on whether the case should be heard by the full court. Our team will file a brief encouraging the court to do so.

Unwanted and unnecessary national guard deployment? Silence. Cutting healthcare coverage? Silence. Tariffs raising costs for families? Silence. AI videos of the President literally dumping crap on Americans citizens? Silence. Cutting food assistance to over 750,000 Oregonians? Silence. #orleg #orpol

We are on a dangerous path in America. A panel of Ninth Circuit judges has chosen to not hold the president accountable: they just granted the federal government’s motion to stay our first TRO, which prevented the president from deploying Oregon National Guard troops in Oregon.

Rep. Hudson (D-Troutdale), Chair of the House Committee on Education, said the decision to fire special education workers strikes especially close to home. Before serving in the legislature, he spent years teaching students with a range of learning differences and special needs in Oregon classrooms.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat — you should be worried when you hear the president say a judge should “work for him”. No judge should ever serve any politician. That’s not how the balance of powers works.
