The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.
Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.
Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

Lindsay previously heard arguments Oct 24 & Nov 3.
The civic group originally claimed that it was harmed by the deployment by being forced to refocus its resources away from govt accountability & transparency. The WV AG’s office sought to reject the case, saying the group was not harmed & lacked standing to challenge Morrisey’s decision. Lindsay continued both of the previous hearings & ordered the state to specifically focus on whether what Morrisey did was lawful.
