Almost as if Trump is doing exactly what he said he would back in October when he quoted Hitler and threatened to unleash the National Guard against the enemy from within. Look at Biden! He's old!

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.

Oh, yes, Texas has a paper trail a mile long arguing that states have the right to fully deploy its state agents to defend its borders and to use lethal force against any invasion. That would inherently include Illinois using lethal force to repel an invasion by the Texas National Guard.

Now that a judge ruled Trump's invasion of LA illegal, I wonder if Dems who avoided this topic will reflect on whether it might have been good to put their stamp on it now that it's been unmasked as a massive abuse of power. Pundits who urged caution should reflect on this too, but they won't.
