In case you have forgotten this, I'll remind you:
U.S. Constitution Article 1 Section 8 Clause 15:
"The Congress shall have Power to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
Yep and your, travis's, deck is filled with 52 of such cards.
