The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just put a temporary pause on Donald Trump's ability to send National Guard troops into the streets of Portland, Oregon. The court issued the stay or pause while it decides if the full appeals court (sitting en banc) will review a lower court ruling allowing Trump to militarize the streets of Portland.

The incessant back and forth between and among the trial courts, the appeals courts and the Supreme Court is enough to make folks throw up their hands at the injustice of it all.
