Yeah who needs all those details anyway? </sarcasm>

Not really, no. Lincoln faced a situation where the governors and legislatures themselves were leading the rebellion. That's not the case here. Neither the Washington governor or the Seattle mayor are denying the authority of the federal government so long as it is in keeping with the Constitution. Trump just cannot say "I'll deal with it." Article IV as well as the 10th Amendment say he can't. But, as I said, not that you have much concern about the Constitution.
