On Monday, in Trump v. Illinois, the Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump in an important case involving his use of the National Guard for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is not a final decision on the merits; it is just a rejection of Trump's motion for a stay of the lower court ruling against him. But the Supreme Court decision strongly suggests the majority believes Trump's actions are illegal, and will rule against him when and if the Court considers the case more fully. In the meantime, Trump's use of the National Guard in Illinois remains blocked. I think the Court got this key issue right, though I might have preferred they rely on somewhat different reasoning.
