The problem is Democrats are cowards. Newsom has so many options he’s not even trying to use. For example, he could give his own contradicting orders to the California National Guard troops. After all, those would be the only legal orders given to the Guard. Trump is flagrantly violating the law here. If that didn’t work, he could announce that he’s putting any Guard troop deployed by Trump on immediate leave. They’re now on vacation and can walk off base at will. If that doesn’t work, he could defund the troops involved. You’re not getting paid for your time following illegal orders.

Instead, Democrats are cowards, so they make tired cringe jokes about Tacos.
