47% : The appeals court said judges can review such military decisions, rejecting an argument by Trump administration lawyers.
46% : "The President's move to deploy the National Guard of one state over the objections of a Governor to another state over the objections of a second is well outside of the norms or practices of any President in recent history."
44% : Voss noted that Trump federalized the California National Guard because of protests in Los Angeles, but now they're being assigned to duties in Portland for a different purpose.
44% : After most of the 4,700 troops left Los Angeles, Trump in August ordered 300 California National Guard troops to remain deployed in Southern California.
43% : The Oregon judge's decision doesn't conflict with the higher court's reasons for returning the federal troops to Trump, said Kelly Simon, a legal director at the ACLU of Oregon, during a press conference.
42% : "But one of their (Oregon's) big arguments, and one that judge Immergut found persuasive, was a diversion of their National Guard members from state responsibilities, right, which would not apply here," Voss said.
42% : The 300 California National Guard troops Trump is deploying to Oregon are a holdover from his June activation.

30% : "These incidents are inexcusable, but they are nowhere near the type of incidents that cannot be handled by regular law enforcement forces," Immergut wrote.

28% : This was California 42nd suit against Trump in 36 weeks.
24% : Trump claims he must deploy federalized troops because Portland is under siege by protesters opposing the administration's immigration enforcement actions.
17% : The dynamic is highly unusual, in no small part because Trump is essentially pulling troops from one state that has opposed his use of the National Guard to another state where political leaders also reject Trump's moves.
