U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has suggested Donald Trump could attempt to deploy troops to U.S. cities under the Insurrection Act.
The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to call on reserve or active-duty military to suppress rebellion or domestic violence or enforce the law in states.
Kavanaughās remarks came in a separate opinion after the court on Tuesday refused to allow the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area to support its immigration crackdown.
The high court declined the administrationās emergency request to overturn a ruling by U.S. District Judge April Perry that had blocked the deployment of troops. Three justicesāSamuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuchāpublicly dissented.
I mean, they voted to cut health care from people, increase their own health care premiums, raise taxes on all foreign goods, destroy the exports of goods like soybeans, cut funding from schools/teachers, and make sure taxes stay low for the billionaires.
What did they want in return? Nothing. They didnāt ask for better health care even though they are going to pay more, they didnāt demand lower prices on goods that would be local, and no promises were made to subsidize local businesses to ensure they could start manufacturing such products to equalize the prices anytime in the next umpteen years.
I donāt get it, they voted to pay more, to give it to billionaires faster, with 0 plan on how the middle class will ever grow back.
Small businesses will all die out, and theyāll give it all to oligarchsā¦ for nothing in return
They get permission to hate the people they want to hate. See? They think it is a fair deal.
