Yeah, and then Obama federalizes the Guard— which is permitted under federal law since so much Guard training dollars come from the Pentagon— taking them away from state control. That suggestion is outdated by several decades.

That’s not true. A president cannot federalize the state national guards without authorization from Congress. Even if the congress were to authorize that, the president doesn’t control the state militias. Governors do. And yes, 26 states have organized state militias.
