Show of Hands

Nat'l guard is a state militia. The U.S. has army/navy/air force/marines/coast guard that they can deploy if needed.

Of course

That depends….as always, the devil is in the details…..

Depends on the issue. The Executive Branch controls immigration.

Obviously not. What’s disappointing is that the governors who are being obstructionists are not being locked up like the judge.

Not necessarily

Like George Wallace during desegregation? How things change. Hmm.

State and Federal government should work together regarding the need for national guard deployment not doing what is the best interest for both.

Yes but... 😁

There shouldn't be a national guard. They should be run by the states. A State Guard.

...but it is the National Guard so...no.

Except for some very extreme situations, absolutely

Yes, UNLESS the Insurrection Act of 1807 is invoked. The Insurrection Act is the exception to Posse Comitatus restrictions.

I think Trump has enough grounds to invoke the Insurrection Act in blue states that are openly and wantonly obstructing federal immigration enforcement, but as far as I can tell he hasn't jumped through those hoops yet.

Also, for all of you opportunistic and hypocritical "sTaTeS rIgHtS" folks - roughly half of all servicemembers deployed overseas since 2001 have been National Guard or Reserve. Don't pretend like you give a s*** about the National Guard, because 99% of you don't give a s*** the rest of the time when they're deployed to actual warzones.

Republicans, remember that you think Presidents have the power to dictate policy to states when a Democrat is president.

Who needs state rights?

The Supreme Court refused to lift a lower-court block on Trump’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area, underscoring ongoing legal disputes over presidential authority to use military forces domestically.

Yes. States’ Rights.

Yes
