When a Guard unit goes to Iraq, they have been Federalized.So when a guard unit goes to Iraq they are an asset of the respective governor. I think you have a small problem with that statement.I have to laugh at those that don't realize that we all ready have military out there. The moment the governor calls out the National Gaurd they become active members of the military. They are not some offshoot they are civilian soldiers until they are activated.
The National Guard have been in military hotspots all over the globe.
Your grasp of the 1916/17 National Guard Act is lacking. The ONLY time the National Guard becomes a National Military Asset is when the President Nationalizes them. Until then, they are all the assets of the respective Governors.
That’s for sure.The Repup senators have always been notable for their spinelessnessliterally silent.
'Trump’s Re-Election Chances Are Going Down in Flames.' How Trump's Divisive Rhetoric Could Hurt Republicans in November
Even some Republican stalwarts have acknowledged that the President's latest reaction to a national tragedy could have disastrous electoral implicationsnews.yahoo.com
On Tuesday morning, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, usually a vocal supporter of the President, declined to comment on Trump’s speech. So did Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, who has often criticized the President. “These are times where my heart goes out to people,” Romney said Tuesday. “This is a challenging time for our country, and I’m really not going to be commenting on the daily developments that that are coming from the White House or elsewhere.”

Right now, they are acting under the control of the Governors, in their own States.
Sending in the regular military, under Federal control is what is problematic.
I thought the 2A was to protect the citizens against a tyrannical gov? Sending in Airborne troops against your own population seems to fit the bill.
I hate to be a buzz kill for you, since you seem to be so excited by the idea of killing. But even if they roll out the Airborn as you put it that does not mean that anyone will be killing. I know I can feel your disappointment. They would be doing the same thing they did at the border.When a Guard unit goes to Iraq, they have been Federalized.So when a guard unit goes to Iraq they are an asset of the respective governor.

Trump isn't going to do squat. That's pretty much why they say nothing.
They also know that if he used the military against citizens, it's all over for him.
Saner minds will get through to him. Not that he really means much of what he says.
I can see their sense of self-preservation. Mitt's a different story. He's got nothing to gain or lose, but I don't think he wants to be part of turning the Senate dem.They are all a bunch of slimy bitches. This incompetent fuckup of a potus pulls a Hitler like show of force on peacefully protesting people for a fucking photo op and they dont have shit to say.
What worried me was seeing Esper and Gen Milley (in fatigues) walking with Trump as he used tear gas and Military helicopters to disperse peaceful protestors outside Lafayette Park. Milley is not West Point …. or even VMI or Norwich. And he tried to suppress the Iraq War Study. Trump has the varsity sitting on the bench.
The gop senate may have to confront a Profile in Courage moment.
Exactly. The authorities have let liberals do whatever they damn well please since the crackdown at Kent State.The American Left has been begging, whining, pleading for an authoritarian smackdown for about sixty years. Sometimes, just sometimes, you get what you ask for. Reap the whirlwind . . .

I won't shed a tear over rioters, thieves, pillagers, looters, being mowed down en masse.

Worthless empty statement.
