Also, Article IV applies, in that the State government has to certify insurrection.

The Congress just can't declare a State insurrectionary because they don't like their politics, and order the President to take the Army and the Militia into that State to coerce its People.

This is all discussed in the Federalist as well, in (I think, from memory) Nos. 7 on, passim.

One of the numbers dealt exclusively with the Militia, another with the warmaking powers of the President.

ROTFLMAO!!! Nothing could be further from the truth...except maybe some of your other posts. State governors have to certify domestic violence before requesting federal assistance in quelling it. That's what Article IV is about. Article I says nothing about requiring governors to request assistance before Congress takes steps to suppress insurrections. And none is needed - Washington established that precedent in 1794.
