I was just reading last night where an Oklahoma governor declared martial law at the sight of a bridge crossing over the Red River and claiming that it made any Federal court order null and void because it made him Commander of the Oklahoma National Guard.

Now I don't know the legalities of that wrt a federal judge, but it does seem to me quite the case that if the Gov of Fla declared martial law around the hospice, the law enforcement officers there now would no longer have peace officer authority, or would at the very least have to surrender that authority to the Gov. Failing to do so would make them insurrectionists. It would also render orders by the local judge null and void. In effect the authority of the Gov in that case would be clear and unambiguous.
