SCOTUS and Trump's "freedom to deploy the National Guard whenever and wherever he chooses"

[Miles Archer]

Should the conservative majority Supreme Court hand Donald Trump the freedom to deploy the National Guard whenever and wherever he chooses, the president’s “power grab’ will be complete and nothing will ever stop him again.

That is according to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who wrote on her Substack platform, that two cases coming before the court are part of his “drive to make the executive more powerful and to have that power come at the expense of the courts, Congress, and the people.”

As he pointed out, there are two critical cases the court is poised to take up. “The scope of presidential power to federalize and deploy National Guard troops,” and “Whether a president’s decision that such a move is merited is effectively unreviewable by the courts, as Trump alleges.”

Explaining out that giving Trump a license to deploy troops to cities on a whim is a direct assault on democracy, she wrote that the court will be reviewing ”an 1827 case, Martin v. Mott, where the Supreme Court held that ‘the authority to decide whether the exigency has arisen [to call up state militias] belongs exclusively to the president, and that his decision is conclusive upon all other persons.’”
