The U.S. Supreme Court is deliberating the interpretation of 'regular forces' in a law related to presidential deployment of the National Guard. The case stems from President Trump's bid to send troops to Chicago,

The Supreme Court asked for additional briefs from the Trump administration and Illinois over the deployment of troops to Chicago.

Limited government requires not only laws but also the ambition of the political branches to check each other.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday asked for more briefing in the ongoing fight over President Trump’s ability to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois, signaling that the court’s highly anticipated ruling is still weeks away.

The most robust challenge to Trump's authority to deploy troops occurred with Newsom v Trump, which upheld that the president had federal authority over National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during widespread protests against the deportations earlier this year.

Justices were skeptical Monday that the case was an exception to other lawsuits against defense contractors, which usually get immunity in such litigation.
