Judge Charles Breyer a Clinton appointee, issued his ruling late Thursday, after Newsom requested to immediately restrict the troops' power on the ground, and suggested that at minimum, federal law required Trump to alert the governor's office.
Breyer repeatedly emphasized during a hearing earlier that Trump is exercising presidential authority - not that of a King (playing right into the current protests, of course).
