Summary

In Breaking News, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked Trump’s deployment of Federalized National Guard Troops on the streets of Chicago and the rest of the state, ordering them to remain in their barracks until they have had a chance to consider Trump’s appeal. Triggered by the ruling, VP JD Vance took to the airwaves to promote the use of the Insurrection Act, as Stephen Miller’s phony law firm “America First Legal” asks to file a brief to support Stephen Miller’s own policies. Michael Popok looks at the new ruling and how federal trial courts are ruling against Trump by citing to the Founding Fathers and Framers, and warning Americans that Trump poses an existential threat to our Republic.

0:00.0	Donald Trump's federalized, militarized, National Guard in Illinois, stay in your barracks.
0:05.7	We have a new decision over the weekend.
0:07.7	In breaking news, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals sits in Illinois over all Illinois federal courts,
0:13.6	very similar to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, has said to Donald Trump, you can mobilize,
0:19.2	but you can't deploy. You can take them over. You can
0:23.3	leave them in their barracks, but don't put them on the streets of Illinois until we've had full
0:27.5	briefing. And we've had a opportunity to make our ruling, almost identical to what the Ninth
0:33.9	Circuit Court of Appeals did about Judge Imbergot's decision in Oregon. That's the same reason. Those National Guardsmen are staying in their barracks.
0:43.3	I cover it all right here on the Midas Dutch Network and Legal AF. Thanks for being here with us.
0:47.3	All right, let's talk about how we got here. Against the backdrop of all of that, we've got Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and the real president of the United States, at least for domestic policy, is Stephen Miller using the language of insurrection.
1:02.6	Not only that, but Stephen Miller, who formed a law firm that sounded suspiciously like legal AF while he was in exile the first time called America First Legal,
1:15.1	has actually asked the Seventh Circuit for permission to file a brief in support of the Trump
1:20.0	administration.
1:21.3	I mean, how many players are there going to be allowed?
1:24.8	Too many players on the field judges.
1:27.1	They've already got their Department of judges. They've already got their
1:28.2	Department of Justice. They've already got their Solicitor General. They've already got Stephen
1:33.0	Miller in the White House. Now we need a law firm controlled by Stephen Miller filing briefs
1:37.9	to support the Trump administration. I hope the Seventh Circuit rejects that. Let's start
1:42.9	with how we got here, the Seventh Circuit decision, which I'm going to post up on LegalAF Substack,
1:48.0	and some clips from over the weekend and beyond, just to show you what we're dealing with, with this threat of the Insurrection Act,
1:55.0	which has been invoked about 30 times in American history, the last time in 1992, when L.A. got a little bit out of control,
