Under the 14th Amendment, all citizens of Seattle are entitled to "Equal protection of the laws".

If the state and local authorities fail to provide this (like allowing slavery to continue for example), the federal government has the right and the obligation to step in.

This was further codified in the Insurrection Act.

Thanks for the interesting information.

I do NOT believe that POTUS will have to implement the Insurrection Act, but of course, he can if he wants.

I believe that is what DemonRats are hoping he will do to go along with their Trump is a Dictator. POTUS will out smart them and get the job done anyway. Special Ops may well go in and snag the provocateurs/leaders or something.
