The article is correct in stating that states and their municipalities are charged with the police function of government.

However, the Federal government is responsible to honor its Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution which guarantees that each state will maintain a republican form of government.

Insurrection, chaos, rebellion, and anarchy are antithetical to the republican form of government.

State and municipal officials have not merely failed to maintain a republican form of government; they are, instead, facilitating insurrection and fomenting chaos.

Therefore, these state and municipal officials are defiantly rebelling against the United States. By aiding and abetting open enemies of the United States, they are guilty of treason.

To use Federal agents in the police function to oppose the insurrectionists is to get the priorities wrong. The first thing to do is to dispatch US Marshals to arrest treasonous mayors, governors, and other rebellious state and municipal officials.

The President not only has the Constitutional authority, but also the responsibility, to restore a republican form of government in these rebellious states.

Of course, the Constitution is a dead letter, so that will not happen.

Lincoln dispatched Grant and Sherman to suppress a Democrat insurrection in 1860. Grant dispatched the US Army and arrested something like 10,000 Democrat terrorists in the Klan in 1870. In the 1950's Eisenhower dispatched the 101st Airborne to quell a Democrat insurrection. Kennedy did likewise in the 1960s.

I doubt Jarod and Ivanka will let Trump do that.

I could not agree more!
