I applaud President Trump for this, although I wish he said it 2 1/2 months ago.

He said that, "and we have many different ways where I can override them." Considering that the fascist left has already sent armed goons to band on church doors in Chicago (by orders of Lori Lightfoot), the President must be ready to Federalize the National Guard in states controlled by Democrats.

The Left will not allow this issue to go down without a fight.

Chicago pastor claims the mayor sent armed police in unmarked cars to bang on the church doors Sunday: It was ‘like the Soviet-styled KGB’ He's requesting help from the Justice Department

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot rejects President Donald Trump call to open churches

President Kennedy federalized the National Guard in Alabama, and it made him a historic hero.

President Trump must be prepared to give that same order. He cannot rely on Barr's glacial pace DOJ to do a damn thing.

Kennedy and Eisenhower before him federalized the National Guard to enforce court orders. I know of no constitutional authority which permits the president of the United States to send in Armed Forces because he disputes the action of the state governor.

Lincoln acted in time of war under war powers authority. Likewise Wilson and Roosevelt.

Instead the president is the chief of the executive branch of government and he can invoke the powers of the Department of Justice to pursue constitutional rights of parishioners if he sees fit. But I know of no warrant for the president to send in the 101 airborne.

I'd settle for one. Do it, don't talk about it.

What’s the president going to do about mail in voter fraud? Once it’s a fait accompli there’s no going back. Even massive, obvious fraud will be accepted. I can recall blatant examples of fraud but never have I seen the results corrected to overcome the fraud. Brenda Snipes ham handedly did it every year and was never held accountable nor was her handiwork ever rolled back. Trump better have this stopped before the November ballots ever get sent out.

I heard a constitutional expert yesterday who said that the Commerce Clause was written for situations like this. He didn’t expand on that enough though

“President Kennedy federalized the National Guard in Alabama, and it made him a historic hero. ... President Trump must be prepared to give that same order.”

I agree. I don’t understand why he hasn’t already. I get that the governors are over the states, but the U.S. Constitution supersedes governors’ dictates, doesn’t it? If not, why do we bother with the Constitution?

And these RAT governors believe they rule over the people. In reality, the people rule them.

He’s trolling. He is the master after all.
