That and commandeering the state's national guard are two entirely different things.


You don't know a damned thing about how the National Guard works, do you? The federal government may assume command of the National Guard ANY TIME IT NEEDS TO. This is called FEDERALIZATION, not commandeering. The government is well within its rights to do this. This is also the reason why the US Constitution has an amendment in it that allows citizens to form MILITIAS- because the federal government has superceding authority over ALL of this nation's official armed forces, INCLUDING those which are trained and armed by the states' governments.

Please know what you're talking about before you post it.


Whether or not they are allowed to commandeer the national guard is entirely beside the point. The governor of Lousiana denying the Federal government the right to their National Guard does not limit the federal government's ability to respond to disasters. Blaming the government's lackluster response on not having the Lousiana National Guard under their direct control is focusing on one of the more miniscule details of disaster relief.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
