The California intifada

 Federalist Wire:

...

In a highly contested legal showdown, Justice Department attorneys appeared in federal court on Monday to justify the Trump administration’s decision to send Marines and California National Guard troops to quell violent and destructive anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles back in June.

The proceedings, spanning three days in San Francisco, featured state lawyers contending that the move—fiercely opposed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom—breached a longstanding federal statute barring the use of armed forces in civilian policing roles.

The unrest traced its origins to June 6, when protests erupted in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations that detained over 100 undocumented individuals across the city.

Crowds swelled into the hundreds, voicing dissent through chants, Mexican flags, and banners criticizing ICE, while confrontations unfolded with police and immigration agents. What started as lawful assemblies quickly spiraled into chaos, marked by torched vehicles, defaced structures, and widespread looting of shops.

As disorder persisted, President Trump declared the dispatch of approximately 4,000 Coast Guard personnel and 700 active-duty Marines to restore order in the sprawling metropolis. Newsom sharply rebuked the action, labeling it as turning soldiers into “props in the federal government’s propaganda machine.”

The administration countered by pointing to California’s sanctuary policies, which restrict local authorities from aiding immigration enforcement, as justification for stepping in.

In response, Newsom initiated legal action against the administration. Federal Judge Charles R. Breyer, appointed during the Clinton era and presiding over the non-jury trial in California, initially deemed the deployment unlawful. Yet, an appellate panel swiftly overturned Breyer’s decision just hours later, allowing the operation to proceed.
...

Newsom is siding with the lawbreakers.   The state should not interfere with ICE's operations.  California has more illegal immigrants than the entire population of some states.  The illegals should be deported.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
