At Tuesday's hearing, Samuel Harbourt, an attorney for California's Department of Justice, asked the three-judge panel to reject the federal government's motion for a stay "because every day that the stay remains in effect, it causes two principle forms of irreparable harm." First, Harbourt argued, the federalization of onethird of the state's Guard personnel keep troops from being ready to respond for emergencies, "especially wildfires, which is especially problematic as we enter
he Huntington Library is renowned for several iconic pieces – the Gutenberg Bible, the Ellesmere Chaucer manuscript, and Shakespeare’s Folio, to name just a few. Visitors expect to see them individually at their usual spot. Soon these exceptional items will be displayed at The Huntington Mansion alongside other important objects that reveal surprising connections and untold stories in a series called “Stories from the Library.” The inaugural show, on view from Saturday through Dec. 1, will feature Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales” and later iterations of the work, and the visionary figures who shaped Los Angeles. “The Tales Through Time” commences with The Huntington’s Ellesmere Chaucer manuscript, an elaborately decorated work created between 1400 and 1405. The most complete and authoritative version, it is presented together with later iterations of the work to illustrate how creators like writers, artists, and printers – collectively and

set a hearing for Tuesday to contemplate Trump's request for a stay pending appeal. The hearing in the James R. Browning U.S. Courthouse in downtown San Francisco was live-streamed on YouTube. The panel of three judges includes two Trump appointees. The lower-court judge, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, had determined that the National Guard deployment was illegal and violated the Tenth Amendment, which defines power between federal and state governments, and exceeded
Trump's statutory authority. The judge's order applied only to the National Guard troops and not 700 activeduty U.S. Marines who were also deployed to the Los Angeles protests. The judge said he would not rule on the Marines because they were not out on the streets as of last Thursday. Since the appellate panel did not rule to restore the Guard to Newsom's control, another hearing before Breyer is expected Friday, when the judge may decide whether to impose a longer block on Trump's federalization of the Guard.

By Fred Shuster, City News Service n appellate panel heard arguments Tuesday but made no ruling on whether President Donald Trump or California Gov. Gavin Newsom will control the state's National Guard -- a hearing stemming from a challenge to Trump's decision to federalize the Guard, which a San Francisco federal judge ruled last week was illegal and unconstitutional. During the hour-long hearing before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, attorneys for Trump and Newsom sparred over Trump's executive order to call up 2,000 Cal Guard members to the streets of downtown Los Angeles, ostensibly to protect immigration officers and federal property, for 60 days. The hearing came after a lower court judge ruled Thursday that Trump's federalization of Guard service members did not follow congressionally mandated procedure, and Trump must return control of the troops to Newsom by noon the following day. But within hours, the appeals court granted Trump's emergency request to temporarily block the order, leaving the Guard under Trump's control, and

The show is anchored by the 1902 design plans for L.A.’s first skyscraper, Braly Block, conceived by architect John Parkinson. Vanessa Wilkie, Ph.D. (William A. Moffett senior curator of medieval manuscripts and British history and head of library curatorial) and Steve Tabor (curator of rare books), co-curated “The Tales through Time.” By email, Wilkie talks about how the series originated, how they prepared the exhibition, and what she hopes visitors take away from it. “While the mansion was built first, Henry Huntington had the library constructed beginning around 1919, relatively early in his collecting,” Wilkie says. “So in a sense, he always envisioned that his library collections would
