California governor plans to file lawsuit against Trump over National Guard deployment to protests (apnews.com)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit Monday against President Donald Trump in response to the administration’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard to confront immigration protesters who took to the streets in Los Angeles.

“Commandeering a state’s National Guard without consulting the governor of that state is illegal and immoral,” Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Sunday.

The streets of the sprawling city of 4 million people were quiet Monday morning, but the smell of smoke hung in the air downtown, one day after crowds blocked off a major freeway and set self-driving cars on fire as police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades. The law enforcement presence was heavy, with police cars blocking the street in front of the federal detention facility that was a focus of the protests.

While much of the city was spared from any violence, clashes swept through several downtown blocks and a handful of other places. It could take days to clear the debris from burned cars and to paint over the graffitti. Sunday was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trump’s immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of around 300 Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents.

You know a lot of us had this thought at first but the more you think about it the more sense it makes. Because one lawsuit won't have a lot of effect. But 3,000 start to. It's the same strategy Trump uses on us. Just overwhelming bullshit being thrown at us. Because no matter how much he wants to ignore them they do add up. They take time and attention to deal with. So I say keep suing him. If only to disrupt and distract him. That's not all we should do but it's definitely a viable Avenue of attack. One that does sometimes yield results remember.
