Far worse than the J6 election protests, more rioters should be arrested on the spot.

Supplying weapons – prosecute. Training in attack tactics – I don’t know for sure, since you might be able to claim you’re just military hobbyists or something, but I would certainly try to prosecute that too. Supplying masks – I honestly don’t know how legally defensible Trump’s (and others’) forbidding of masks will turn out to be; I hate masks and believe that if you’re moved to protest in our country, you ought to do so with your face showing (I might think differently in countries where people really are “disappeared” for protesting).

I’m trying to draw, and keep to, a distinction between unlawful activities and lawful if unsavory ones. And it’s not that easy a distinction to make, ISTM – intent, which is of course so difficult to prove, would seem to matter in some of these questions.

File under: LAUSSR

Stern, impartial language used a day or two before planned nationwide protests organized under the banner of ‘No Kings’, my, what a coincidence. I wonder if the judge has any, ahem, political affiliations of note.

One of the most offensive parts of Judge Breyer’s TRO is that it represents trial by news report.

The Order is stuffed full of references to a couple of Declarations filed by California that attached a collection of news reports about the events of the day on June 7-9.

He has taken this act based on a record created by the media.

The correct thing to have done was to require California — the party seeking the TRO — to call witnesses to the events and provide him a record based on personal observations.

What he relied upon instead was a record created by reporters as revised by their editors.

Unacceptable

Less than four hours after holding a hearing, Judge Charles Breyer (83-year-old Clinton appointee and brother of former SC Justice Stephen) issues a 36-page opinion to support granting a temp restraining order related to Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California.

This was written before the hearing–no question. It is filled with political rhetoric intended to create headlines

FWIW I am fine with National Guard leaving LA.

Bricks For Hire

“A recent review of the California Democratic Party’s May 2025 expense report has uncovered a significant and controversial expenditure: the purchase of 200 pallets of construction-grade bricks.”

In response to the controversy, the California Democratic Party has stated that the brick purchase was intended for future infrastructure projects. “

Now that they’ve been delivered: Where exactly are they? A traceable transaction for an AG to investigate, and for witnesses to testify about – to a Grand Jury.
