Nothing that I said indicated that the National Guard wasn’t part of the militia - in fact, I quoted from the US Code, which (still) indicates as it did in the 1980s that the NG is considered the “Organized Militia.”
BTW, the fact that the unorganized militia has not been called up, or even well-regulated (i.e. trained) in over 100 years is utterly irrelevant from a Constitutional perspective. The militia has never been written out of the Constitution, and likely never will be...which means that everything in our law about it still applies, even if you and 100 million other people think that it is obsolete.
I am also very well aware that the Perpich case stated that the NG of each state was under the command of its governor until and unless it was federalized...where did I ever state otherwise?
Your attempts to dismiss the unorganized militia are utterly contrary to not only still-valid law, but to the Constitution itself.
WTF!
If he’s a white guy he’s good as gone.
Does Trump know about this ? It sounds like something Obama would do.
What a Crock!
Turning men into weenies one way or the other.
Sure hope this is a joke.
No joke. I saw the results of it last night.
If you watched American Idol, you did, too.
It was in Hawaii where a contestant looked up to see a military jet fly over. He said, “That scares me. Is there a military base near here?”
A producer said, “Well, yes. Pearl Harbor.”
“Pearl Harbor? I thought that was just a movie.”
Not a joke. Already implimented.
Thank you for knowing our national history. So few do.
