Saying “political opposition is not rebellion,” a federal appeals court in Chicago on Thursday left intact a district judge’s order barring the president from deploying National Guard troops in the city and state pending the outcome of the appeal.

In its 18-page ruling, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the findings by U.S. District Judge April Perry were not “clearly erroneous” and that “the facts do not justify” President Donald Trump’s actions in Illinois.

The three-judge appellate panel unanimously agreed with Perry that even giving the president “great deference” when it comes to his power to call up the military, there was no evidence that he needed troops to help enforce immigration law or quell any kind of organized rebellion.

Gotta love unanimous decisions! Even the judges are saying "No Kings!"

Similarly, the White Nationalists are spreading hate and lies against the No Kings protesters. These anti-American racist rapists and pedophiles are against the Constitution, especially the First Amendment. When the civil war starts, show this white supremacists no mercy.

House GOP leader dubs upcoming ‘No Kings’ protest a ‘Hate America’ rally​

House GOP Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) on Tuesday slammed the “No Kings” protests slated for Saturday against the Trump administration as a “hate America” rally backed by the left.

“These guys are playing to the most radical, small, and violent base in the country. You’ll see them on Saturday on the Mall. They just do not love this country,” Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said during a Tuesday appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria.”


The progressive group Indivisible says 2,000 No Kings protests are scheduled for Saturday. The protests are planned in cities including Los Angeles; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Atlanta; New Orleans; Kansas City, Mo.; and Bozeman, Mont. Planned protests stretch into Canada and as far south as Madrid, a town in Mexico.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has urged federal employee members to participate in the protests as well amid the shutdown, which has triggered vows by President Trump to lay off federal workers who are furloughed.

Emmer is one of several Republicans who are pushing back at the protests, which began in June and essentially argue that Trump is behaving like a king with some of his actions.


House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) backed Emmer’s theory that the protests were tied to a “hate America” mentality during a Tuesday press conference and suggested the demonstrations were tied to Senate Democrats amid the federal shutdown.

Scalise said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.) was “throwing a temper tantrum” to “appease the most radical elements of his base.”
