Pg. 9 ARGUMENT 'The thrust of Plaintiffs’ motion is that the President lacks authority to federalize the State National Guard and to deploy those forces, along with U.S. Marines, to protect federal assets in Los Angeles.' WRONG. From the CA AG. 4-prong test weighs in favor of plaintiff.

Time pressure is not a valid excuse for such sloppiness. The TOC should auto-populate, and may require 2 minutes of cleanup (at most). The TOA takes 2 minutes to run, but may require 10-15 minutes of cleanup.

Donnie Dotard, you lie to the press, but history is well documented, laws are clear. POTUS is a liar, a thief, and desperate for a civil war to allow him to remain in power forever. We were unprepared for half the Congress to have sold their integrity for second-best country.

One time I had to file a document at the last minute, and my paralegal was out of the office on an emergency. When she got back and saw that I made a mistake on the hearing date, she lost her shit! Paralegals are perfectionists of a different order, and that's why we love them!
