Trump vs. California: Even I Wouldn't Take on a Judge Like That!

Another Day Another Court...It's Like Game 7 All Over Again!

Alright folks MJ here. Seems like everyone's trying to pull a fast one these days. Now I'm used to tough opponents on the court but this Trump Newsom showdown over the California National Guard? This is a whole different ball game. A federal appeals court is blocking a judge's order to hand back control of the Guard to California's governor. Seriously what's next are they gonna start contesting free throws? I always say 'Some people want it to happen some wish it would happen others make it happen.' Looks like everyone's trying to 'make it happen' in court now.

Judge Breyer: More Like 'The Defender' Than 'The Giver'

So this Judge Breyer dude he's calling Trump's move 'illegal,' saying it violates the Constitution and all that jazz. Now I ain't no lawyer but I know a foul when I see one. And Breyer's throwing technicals like it's going out of style. He's saying Trump can't just federalize the Guard without Newsom's okay because there's no invasion or rebellion going on. No invasion? Last time I checked California was still part of the US of A. Reminds me of when they tried to double team me in the paint predictable and ineffective.

Ninth Circuit to the Rescue? Or Just Another Fast Break?

Trump's team naturally is appealing faster than Pippen chasing a rebound. They're asking the 9th Circuit to block Breyer's ruling and they got a temporary stay. It's like a last second timeout to draw up a play. Gotta give them credit for hustle. But remember what I always say 'Talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence win championships.' Let's see if their legal team can bring the intelligence and teamwork to win this round.

Newsom's 'Star Wars' Strategy: Bold or Blasphemous?

Newsom's firing back with 'Star Wars' references blowing up the Death Star on Twitter. Talk about a Hail Mary! The court just confirmed what we all know the military belongs on the battlefield not on our city streets. 'This win is not just for California but the nation,' Newsom wrote. 'It's a check on a man whose authoritarian tendencies are increasing by the day. End the illegal militarization of Los Angeles now'. History is watching. Hey whatever works right? Maybe he should’ve used a Space Jam analogy instead…bugs bunny got the win in the end

The Tenth Amendment: More Complicated Than a Fadeaway Jumper

All this boils down to the Tenth Amendment and the balance of power between the feds and the states. It's all technical stuff but the basic idea is that the federal government can't just boss the states around without good reason. Like trying to tell me I couldn't wear my own shoes on the court? Not gonna happen. This sets a dangerous precedent for future domestic military activity.

The Waiting Game: More Nerve Wracking Than a Free Throw With 0.1 Seconds Left

So now we wait. Another hearing is scheduled but who knows if it'll actually happen. It's like waiting for the tip off of Game 7. You just gotta stay focused stay ready and hope your team comes through. And remember 'To learn to succeed you must first learn to fail.' Both sides are gonna learn something from this win or lose. Now if you'll excuse me I've got a round of golf to win.
