Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

PA is not properly represented in the US senate. 1 senator who showed promise is now incapable of serving his constituents, and the other is absent and seemingly corrupt. PA deserves better.
