Supreme Court Rules Against Trump on Troop Deployment to Chicago - Glenn Kirschner
The Supreme Court just put a stop to Trump's efforts to militarize the streets of America. Specifically, they ruled that Trump cannot federalize Illinois National Guard troops and deploy them to the streets of Chicago.
This is one of the first times the Supreme Court has pushed back on Trump's dictatorial zeal, and it is a ruling that likely will have broad implications regarding Trump's efforts to militarize Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, and beyond.
This development comes at the same time Trump is being devastated by new releases of Epstein files, at the same time as a lawsuit is filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, and at the same time a federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to bring back to the United States the Venezuelan immigrants they unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador.
It feels like Trump is losing power,. And it seems like justice is trending. - Glenn Kirschner - 12/23/2025.
