If I was that persons attorney I would advise them not to answer this question
I would as well, but I’m not entirely certain that answering it would be a crime. Stating that you will shoot someone in self defense, or community defense, especially when that person is violating several Federal Laws with their current actions, should be legal for all intents and purposes. That is literally advocating for law and order.
Yeah, he wasn’t advocating that individuals kill national guard troops, but that the governments of the invaded states should.
Yep, raise up militia and rally the national guard of the invaded states. Makes the statement more direct as well as being more effective overall, also harder to spin as being random murders.
We had to do it last time this asshole was president to prevent them from stealing PPE for Jared’s buddy.
Nice try FBI
Republican state Rep. Jim Walsh dismisses Mena’s concerns.
“I believe that legislation is unnecessary,” he told Stateline in an interview. “I think it’s what is generally considered a statement bill, but you have to treat it seriously. I’m not sure what they’re getting at here other than a swipe at Donald Trump.”
I won’t overrule Roe v Wade if you confirm my appointment. It’s settled law. (or something akin to that)
The problem with this scenario is that it is completely wrong. The Supreme Court will not overrule Roe v. Wade.

Stupid people fall for this shit. GOP are proven liars. Don’t take any chances with them. Orange gave them permission to be as awful as they want to be and they are seizing it… again, but even more this time.
Exactly. We can’t rely on any sort of subtly or assumption of law. Precedent, be it of the courts or simply the traditional way of doing things, won’t stop them. It has to be solid law, and they’re still going to take it to court.
“states’ rights!”
if Trump were to federalize National Guard units, there’s nothing the state could do to prevent it; a presidential order preempts state authority.
Why would blue states fear only red state national guard if this is the case? The local guard would have to enforce the federal edicts, right?
I guess if they don’t, the only two options are do nothing or confront the invading guard, the latter of which sounds a lot like civil war.

And yet I remember not so long ago at the Texas border where Abbott refused to have the NG stand down when Biden ordered it. So there’s precedent already there to ignore Cheeto in Charge’s orders
As much as we like to assume soldiers will follow orders and doctrine as if they were computers running code…they are ultimately human beings with their own free will, reasoning, biases, and agendas, to hell with what is and isn’t legal and proper on paper. It would be a crossroads for the country and everyone who serves.
One of the oldest rules of quelling rebellion is to not use the local soldiers to do it. Too much emotional attachment. Bring in an outside force, preferably ones with standing ethnic or political hatred for those you want to crush.
Is this the “state rights” I keep hearing about?
The red states sure love meddling. Hawaii has a good time avoiding them completely.
Having an ocean between yourself and the nearest red state isn’t practical for most of us.
So the blue states don’t have a National Guard to respond?
It’s a scenario that was so concerning to Washington state Rep. Sharlett Mena that she introduced legislation that would make uninvited deployments of out-of-state troops illegal. Her bill cleared a committee last week and has the backing of Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson, who pushed for the proposal in his inaugural address last month.
…
But, as she noted to her colleagues last week, if Trump were to federalize National Guard units, there’s nothing the state could do to prevent it; a presidential order preempts state authority.
Hey member in Iraq War II when we were losing a bunch of soldiers and instead of throwing more in or thinking about a draft they just sent over the National Guard?
the National Guard. Who . . .were supposed to be guarding the nation?
Anyway. Just in case some of you were not alive to remember that.
National guard was used a lot in ww2 and many other wars including Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s not a new thing
In WWII? Really - where were they deployed?
More or less everywhere, really.
Here’s more
Oh, well, the day after Pearl Harbor makes perfect sense.
I know Washington recently passed an assault weapons ban but we are running into “this is what the second amendment is actually for” territory.
I’m debating whether or not to respond to an email my dad sent me yesterday where a gun rights organization (GOA) he’s a proud member of sent a warning to its members that Pam Bondi might not put a hardline 2A rights nut as head of the ATF.
Not sure if I should let him know the irony of voting for the guy that we’ll actually need to exercise our 2A rights on
Authoritarian regimes receive the power we freely give right? “There’s nothing we can do” is probably a reasonable alarmist statement if trying to get a bill passed, but I assume the “we” in this case is just legislatures not the general public?
Party of statea rights
My state is the best state.
Missouri goes into East St.Louis. They get robbed and have to walk back home.
I would like it if Blue States mobilized their portion of the national guard to deter ICE and friends. That just seems prudent, especially if the GOP decides to launch a blitzkrieg with the goal of capturing the governors and other officials in Blue States.
Organize and arm your community.
Both sides are partially right. This bill is a dog and pony show. Federal law trumps (pun intended) state law. So this law is not really enforcable. And the blue gov can always order his guard to defend the state. Even if the administration federalizes them. Nothing really stops him. So the law doesn’t change much. But it does bring the idea into the news. And for the actual nation guardsmen from red states, it will sow doubt as to which laws they are supposed to follow. For the ones in the blue states it will help move some who might reject fighting other US troops into doing so if ordered. So it just moves the needle a little bit if such a thing were to happen. But it won’t. The administration knows some guardsman would refuse orders on both sides. And that would set an example for federal troops to do the same. So it would weaken them. And they have more than enough illegals to to deport already. They don’t need to trade control for more people to deport. Maybe in 3 years it might be a trade they see as valuable if other factors come into play relating to the next election.
Nice.

I can assure you I am anything but whatever thoughtless slur that slithers from your thoughts.
