The amazing thing here is that once the Feds take over the National Guard folks...the cost comes out of their pocket. As long as the Guard guys work for th governor...its a state expense. Having 5,000 guys out there on duty....is not cheap...and I doubt that the state fully understood this whole episode. Again, the governor isn't exactly a full-fledged leader...she is a politican. Her controllers probably went into a democratic reaction mode and thought that this federal martial law stuff wasn't right. Folks down there in Orleans do things different. Bottom line: I doubt that any governor will hesitate in the future to drag the Feds in.
Between this and Justice Renquist, the moonbats must be freaking.
