History shows that relying on force against federal authority is rarely effective. Governors can deploy the National Guard for state emergencies, but opposing federal operations risks federalization and legal defeat. Real leverage comes from law, transparency, and strategy — not standoffs. Authority without strategy is hubris; hubris invites defeat.
Congress needs to simply Not Fund this organization. The American People are about to spend more on the Military budget than ever before. There needs to be a lot of Push Back from Both parties to Stop Kristi Noem's attack on the people she took an Oath to Defend and Protect. This is getting way out of hand😱 Another terrific article, Jack, Good Job 🎯 and will reStack ASAP 🙏
Great article. Hopefully Waltz and Pritzger have good people to advise them so they don't end up stepping in the mess instead of trying to contain it. There are sure a lot of plates spinning that can be hard to track. And drumpf keeps adding more. I don't think he can keep up and I believe his "handlers keep putting ideas in his head and that is one reason he can't answer questions a lot of times.
Several recent court rulings, including SCOTUS, interpret 10 U.S.C. § 12406 to mean the president can federalize NG troops only AFTER trying to enforce an action with “regular forces” meaning active duty military. The situation you describe does not likely fall under these new rulings, but it would take another court case to determine that.

Thanks for this. Have been wondering what is the hold up, but Walz is no dumb doggy.
