Background on the National Guard

Who has the authority to activate the National Guard?. Only the Governor of a state or the President of the United States can call/activate the National Guard. It usually starts out that the Governor can activate the NG, but it can go the other way also.

I was in the National Guard/Reserves from 1984 - 2002. My unit was activated for the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, the 1994 Northridge Earthquake & the 1995 California Floods.  A Mayor can request NG Troops.  

When President Trump activated the National Guard to patrol our Southern Border several months ago, no one (especially Democrats) argued too much.  Well, if a President can call in the NG to go to the border, then he can also send them to a city/region.

Why are the Democrats now arguing so much....because they didn't send them in and are trying to save face by calling it illegal. It is not Illegal!  And, they know this by the way, especially a Governor!

The first Federal Judge, somehow deemed Trumps actions as Illegal, then the appellate Judge (same day), said "nonsense" the president dose have the power.  Why would any judge not know this, unless they are just  playing politics.  

Any President has always had this power!  Study History! (i.e. the Civil Rights event in Montgomery, Alabama for just one example).

God Bless the USA!!
