Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump’s threat to deploy the National Guard to the state.
“What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted,” Pritzker said at a news conference. “It is illegal. It is unconstitutional. It is un-American.”
Pritzker claimed Trump is manufacturing a crisis and noted that neither he nor Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson had been contacted by the White House about working together.
Pritzker pointed out that murders, shootings, robberies and burglaries are all down year over year.
They take an oath to faithfully obey all orders from the president and their superiors.
None of these people are in a position to determine the legality of their orders, and neither are strangers on lemmy. They would face years of costly legal battles to defend not following an order and would most certainly lose.
You would lose nothing though, so you shout at them.
