During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

U.S. Circuit Judges Mark Bennett and Eric Miller, both appointees of President Donald Trump, and Jennifer Sung, an appointee of President Joe Biden, presided over the hearing, which began at noon on the West Coast.

    Are these people so ignorant of history that they do not see who they’re imitating? or do they, and they do it knowingly?

        the second Reich was imperial Germany after it was united by Otto von Bismarck in 1871, who created the first proto-Germany state. The first Reich btw was the Holy Roman Empire Of German Nation. What you are looking for is the 4th Reich.

          The HRE is just the HRE. People generally know you don’t mean Charlemagne’s version because that’s referred to as the Carolingian empire.

          Plus that’s not how they referred to themselves so it sounds like you’re about to start talking about Aryanism next.
