Well that would be an interesting situation. I would like to see a governor start the ball rolling. Who’s got the guts to do it.
The refusal of a federalized National Guard unit to obey the Commander-in-Chief would constitute mutiny, punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The President would have no choice but to send in the Regular Army or Marines to bend the Guard unit to his will.
Think in terms of what Eisenhower did in Little Rock in 1957 when he feared that the Arkansas National Guard might refuse his orders and obey Gov. Orval Faubus instead.
