Supreme Court Opens Door to 82nd Airborne in Chicago, Ex-Thomas Clerk Says
Newsweek

The U.S. Supreme Court's Tuesday decision against Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Illinois had the "unintended consequence" of potentially pushing the president to deploy active-duty military units instead, legal scholar John Yoo, who previously clerked for conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, said Wednesday.

"The unintended consequence here might be that the president is going to have to call the 82nd Airborne, or the Marines, or the 101st Airborne Division, as, for example, President Eisenhower did, after Brown v. Board of Education in the South to enforce desegregation," Yoo, the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, said in an interview with Fox News.

"President Trump might have to do that first, in order to protect those federal buildings, those ice agents, and then, if they fail, he can then call out the National Guard," he said.

6. Not surprised John Yoo would believe this, he authored the "Torture Memos."

Yoo was deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in the DOJ when he wrote the Torture Memos, establishing the legality of detainee torture following the 9/11 attacks. Yoo wrote that "enhanced interrogation techniques" were not illegal and fell within the President's authority as commander-in-chief.

8. Well, if Pedo Trump deploys active duty military personnel

To the liberal states he hates and the states with suck up weak little greedy Governors (That's you Lee) that then violates another law. Anyone ever hear about Posse Comitatus Act? Weird that the torture dude lawyer doesn't remember that law.

What's wrong with using the police in the states he wants to send troops into? The states have a large contingency of armed police. Why not use them to protect those federal buildings and ice agents?

Just because some president did it years ago doesn't mean you can do it to all 50 states to simply protect things the federal government has put in harms way. You know another president sent troops into the South to fight a war. Does it mean pedo Trump can do it now since we are NOT in a civil war?

Yoo sounds pretty stupid. He should be in jail right now. But that's looking backwards not forward.
