They also saw the saber rattling, at least in part, as a use of the bully pulpit that will drain their resources without the government ever having to bring a case to court.

“Based on the trial testimony, this Court finds no credible evidence that during the approximately two months before the President’s federalization order, protests grew out of control or involved more than isolated and sporadic instances of violent conduct that resulted in no serious injuries to federal personnel,” she wrote.
