Could you imagine what the response would have been had
the President sent in the Guard to begin with?

He would have been labeled the biggest facist, power hungry,
dictator since Ronaldus Magnus.

Not only that the Black Caucus and Ms Nancy P would of had a bill of Impeachment on the US House Floor on Wednesday because the "Racists sexists cowboy Bush had illegal overrode the legal authority of a Black Democrat Mayor and a Female Democrat Governor". Bush cannot order the Guard ANYWHERE until they are Federalized and then they cannot be used in domestic Law Enforcement because of Posse Comittatus. To do so President Bush would of had to BREAK the law. The State Governor commands the State National Guard, NOT the President unless it has been called to Federal Service.
