   A three-judge federal court has upheld Trump's right to deploy federal troops   
   in Oregon. The judges ruled two to one that the president has the right to   
   deploy troops if the local government can no longer guarantee safety.   
      
   Now the point is: Trump says Portland is on fire. Meanwhile, there are only   
   people walking around in frog suits.   
      
   So, Trump's lie is enough for two of the three judges to allow soldiers to   
   enter American cities.   
      
   This is yet another step toward Trump's dictatorship.   
      
   Now the point is that the judges say the president has the right to do this if   
   the local authorities cannot guarantee safety. A new lawsuit will undoubtedly   
   now address whether that unsafety narrative holds water. Is Portland's safety   
   really at risk? That is highly questionable.   
      
   Incidentally, the one judge who opposed this ruling immediately wrote to all   
   29 judges in the Ninth District, urging them to review what she considers a   
   deeply flawed ruling.   
      
   One of the three judges believes that the president is literally above the   
   law, is effectively a king, and should not be overturned by courts. This is so   
   contrary to their constitution.   
      
   This story will likely continue.
