DOJ lawyer called failure to comply with statute requiring activation of National Guard “through” the governor a “foot fault.” Cringe. I’d call that argument an unforced error. No surprise the judge ended up waving around a pocket copy of the Constitution.

What's needed in LA is de-escalation & for Trump to return California National Guard control to the state ASAP.
