Summary
Federal judges are proving, over and over again, that the pen (the judicial pen) is mightier than the sword.
Glenn discusses the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, prohibiting Trump from federalizing the Oregon National Guard and sending them into Portland. And, when Trump tried to violate the court's order by sending the California National Guard or the Texas National Guard to Portland, Judge Immergut issued a second restraining order, in the middle of the night, prohibiting those deployments as well.

| 0:28.3 | Hey, I'm John Fuglesing. Do you ever watch these Christian nationalists and right-wing |
| 0:32.8 | fundamentalists on TV and think, Jesus Christ, these people are the opposite of Jesus Christ. You know, |
| 0:39.5 | Christianity was supposed to be about love and service, but millions of Americans have grown up to |
| 0:44.0 | find their nice religions been hijacked by this mean authoritarian, tax-free click. I wrote a book |
| 0:50.3 | about how these right-wingers aren't actually on the side of Jesus, and historically, they never have been. Separation of Church and Hate, a sane person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalist, fascists, and flock-pleasing frauds. It's a very irreverent and biblically correct book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anybody who's ever going to have to deal with a Christian extremist in your family, workplace, or government. |
| 1:11.8 | On all the issues that divide us, using actual verses from that book they claim to follow, |
| 1:16.7 | they've got a First Amendment right to twist the Bible to their liking. |

| 1:54.5 | That's a claim that was roundly rejected by a Trump-appointed judge, Karen Emmergut, who, after a hearing on the |
| 2:04.5 | matter, found, ruled, concluded that Donald Trump's factual assertions are untethered to the |
| 2:14.2 | facts. |
| 2:15.7 | And Judge Imbergut issued an emergency temporary restraining order, a TRO, which is now in place |
| 2:22.4 | for 14 days prohibiting Donald Trump from federalizing the Oregon National Guard and sending them |
