Do the Feds have any legal right to take direct command of a state national guard?
urbanoid Posted January 25 Posted January 25 8 hours ago, glenn239 said: Do the Feds have any legal right to take direct command of a state national guard? Yes, POTUS can federalize the National Guard in some cases. Quote As currently worded, the Insurrection Act allows the president to call up the active military or federalize the National Guard under three circumstances: At the request of a state. That's how it was most recently used, when Pete Wilson, then the governor of California, asked for federal help in 1992 to control violent protests after police officers were acquitted in the attack on Rodney King. To enforce federal law. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan ordered the Defense Department to provide military units to help suppress violence at a federal prison in Atlanta. The disturbance was over before the troops arrived. To protect civil rights. This provision authorizes the president to use the military to suppress "any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy" if local law enforcement is unable to provide sufficient protection. It doesn't require the request — or even the permission — of the state. President Dwight D. Eisenhower used the power to send elements of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas, and to federalize the entire state National Guard to enforce court-ordered school desegregation. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson invoked the same authority to enforce other desegregation orders in Mississippi and Alabama. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/what-president-s-authority-send-federal-troops-n1222166
rmgill Posted January 25 Posted January 25 23 hours ago, Murph said: Texas is essentially telling the Supremes to Fark off. But I am not sure what is the right thing to do right now. Theres more to the case than just jurisdiction. there' needs to be a writ of mandamus and a set of allegations of actual violation of the federal law by the feds. AND the case is still pending. If you have a state trooper who's robbing banks, do you arrest the trooper or does his state supremacy override your local police jurisdiction?
FALightFighter Posted January 27 Posted January 27 On 1/25/2024 at 3:13 AM, urbanoid said: Yes, POTUS can federalize the National Guard in some cases. True. Remember, there is also the Texas State Guard, which is completely state-level and not federalizable. When in state status, the Texas National Guard is a component of the Texas Military Department, along with the State Guard.

So Texas can move everyone over to the State Guard and shut the lights out at the former HQ as they go?
Murph Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Ken Paxton just sent a very interesting demand letter to DHS demanding they show what right they have to Texas land.
JWB Posted October 22 Posted October 22 U.S. infant mortality increased 7 percent in months following Dobbs, researchers find U.S. infant mortality increased 7 percent in months following Dobbs, researchers find | ScienceDaily
rmgill Posted October 22 Posted October 22 At what rate did abortions fall? Was it an equivalent larger number of abortions that did not occur? If one for one, then thats deaths that would have occurred before Dobbs. If its more abortions before than now and that is larger than the infant deaths then, the overall reduction in death is positive.
Ivanhoe Posted October 23 Posted October 23 7 hours ago, JWB said: U.S. infant mortality increased 7 percent in months following Dobbs, researchers find U.S. infant mortality increased 7 percent in months following Dobbs, researchers find | ScienceDaily One might ask a few questions: - what percentage of abortions were motivated by genetic errors/abnormalities? - what ratio of infant deaths pre- and post-Dobbs were citizens vs illegal immigrants? - what percentage of mothers pre- and post-Dobbs had one or more mRNA shots? - what percentage of mothers pre- and post-Dobbs had normal care from an OB/GYN? Without answering questions such as these questions, it looks like "ice cream causes crime" level analysis.
Ivanhoe Posted October 23 Posted October 23 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3198634/how-democrats-lie-about-dobbs/ Quote Yet, this week, I ran across a CNN piece headlined: “Infants died at higher rates in the U.S. following the Supreme Court decision that revoked the federal right to an abortion, new research finds.” The article isn’t the first of its kind, and it certainly won’t be the last. Well, it took me about two minutes to track down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention infant mortality rates. While the percentage went up in 2022 — the Dobbs decision didn’t drop until June of that year — it declined in 2023 and was projected to decline again in 2024. You’d think CNN would mention this fact. So, what is CNN talking about? At closer inspection, the story is based on a JAMA Pediatrics study that found infant mortality rates were higher than “expected,” not higher year-to-year rates. And “expected” is a malleable concept concocted by researchers, who cherry-pick a handful of useful months over the past few years to use as a comparison. . Quote In its worst year, Texas experienced 5.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022. Why does Texas have a lower infant mortality rate than Michigan or New Mexico, where abortion is legal throughout pregnancy? Our CNN “experts” would probably tell you the “abortion ban ripple effect.” But historic numbers are no better. Probably because many other factors are at play. Texas and New Mexico, for instance, have large numbers of people streaming over the border from “developing” nations where prenatal care is substandard.
Ivanhoe Posted October 24 Posted October 24 https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/court-docs-reveal-new-details-man-accused-shooting-dnc-office-tempe-crime-files Quote Court documents identified the suspect as 60-year-old Jeffrey Michael Kelly. This is not the first time Kelly is suspected of having a role in crimes involving political matters: in 2022, he was suspected of stealing political signs in his area, but no charges were filed. Investigators say Kelly is connected with three shooting incidents involving a Democratic National Committee office that is located in the area of Priest Drive and Southern Avenue in Tempe. The three incidents happened on Sept. 16, Sept. 23, and Oct. 6, and all of them happened during 12:00 a.m. hour. In the Sept. 16 incident, investigators said a BB gun was fired at the office's glass front door about 13 times. In the Sept. 23 incident, gunfire struck the office about six times, causing damage to glass windows, the front door, and a building wall. . Quote On Oct. 17, police say officers did what was described as a "trash pull," collecting what was in Kelly's trash after he was seen placing the trash bin outside. "While examining the contents of [Kelly's] trash bin, Tempe detectives located three fired .22 caliber cartridge casings," read a portion of the court documents. Prosecutors said Tempe Police served search warrants on Kelly's Google account and social media, which revealed a July 19, 2024 search on the Google Map app for the DNC office's address. . Quote Kelly, according to police, was seen posting ‘anti-democratic ideology signs’ at various locations near his home during the evening of Oct. 21 and into the morning of Oct. 22. The signs were "attached with clear plastic bags containing a white powdery substance with a label stating ‘Biohazard.'" One sign even had an expletive, and read, in part, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes! Guess the poison." In court on Oct. 23, a lawyer representing the prosecution said at least one of the bags of white powdery substance was found to be baking powder. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe-breaking/2024/10/23/suspect-identified-tempe-democratic-party-office-shootings/75806849007/ Quote Kelly's bail was set at $500,000, and his release order included house arrest with an ankle monitor. https://www.startribune.com/suspect-arrested-in-shootings-of-democratic-national-committee-office-in-arizona/601166849 Quote His attorney Jason Squires said Kelly was a retired aerospace engineer who at one time had top security clearance, had no criminal record and was not a flight risk. For a guy with smart credentials, he sure made a whole bunch of stupid mistakes.
Ivanhoe Posted October 24 Posted October 24 May be the above idiot, or may be somebody different; https://conservativebrief.com/suspicious-kari-lake-86583/ Quote The headquarters of Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake was placed under lockdown Tuesday after a campaign staffer opened a box containing a “suspicious” item. A campaign official told Fox News Digital that an intern at the campaign’s Phoenix office opened a letter containing a suspicious substance and a note reading, “Caution anthrax.” Not the first time; https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix-breaking/2022/11/06/kari-lake-campaign-headquarters-suspicious-items-found/8287130001/ Quote An envelope containing a white substance was discovered by staff at GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's campaign headquarters Saturday, and authorities were investigating. Ross Trumble, a spokesperson for the Lake campaign, confirmed that a member of the campaign staff opened an envelope delivered to the office that contained "suspicious white powder." "It was one of two envelopes that were confiscated by law enforcement and sent to professionals at Quantico for examination, and we are awaiting details," Trumble said. Had they kept the idiot in custody without bond, the police might have been able to infer the existence or absence of a second terrorist in the PHX metroplex.

Unlikely the guy who shot up the D offices. Local reporting highlighted he was a true believer, like Lake, in all the MAGA nonsense. Doesn't make sense for him to send a hoax threat to her.
Skywalkre Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Also, how am I the first one posting this?! 🤣 Missouri AG argues teen pregnancies are a good thing, because it keeps the population high so the state can get Fed funding and representation! 🤣🤣🤣 Quote Missouri Attorney General's claim about teen births draws national scrutiny to abortion policies A recent lawsuit seeking to restrict the abortion pill mifepristone is drawing attention to an unusual take on the decrease in teen pregnancy in Missouri. The lawsuit, filed this month by Missouri Attorney Andrew Bailey, makes the case that allowing abortion pills to be dispensed through the mail “is depressing expected birth rates for teenaged mothers,” resulting in population loss and “diminishment of political representation and loss of federal funds.” The suit describes the impact as a “sovereign injury to the State in itself." The argument stands in contrast to Missouri public health policies, which include statewide programs to prevent teen pregnancy. https://www.kcur.org/health/2024-10-27/missouri-attorney-generals-claim-about-teen-births-draws-national-scrutiny-to-abortion-policies

And those same teens you think can't/shouldn't have children CAN get get castrated/sterilized for someone else's fetish? Functionally, 16 year olds getting pregnant is a heck of a lot LESS unnatural than taking that same 16 year old and cutting off her breasts and giving her a fake penis made up of bits of her tissue harvested from other parts of her body. So give your selective outrage a rest.
urbanoid Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Tucker went full schizo. Recently he also claimed he was attacked by a demon in his sleep.
JWB Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Don't know where else to put this ..............

R011 Posted November 14 Posted November 14 1. Not an uncommon attitude for a guy of his age a half century ago. 2. Nixon was always a bit of a putz anyway.
