Can someone explain to me how/why obama and the senate can order National Guard troops anywhere in America (unless they federalize them - which takes some time)?
National Guard soldiers work for their state governors.

This begs the question as to why the state Govs can’t just mobilize the troops on their own borders. If they are under state control, this should not be an issue. And what about the SDFs in some states. Can’t those be activated?

That's what I thought.
It seems Governor Palin thinks so too.

Because, President Bush signed the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill which 'granted' power over each States Naitonal Guard, during natural disasters and public emergencies.
Democrats and Republicans obviously voted for it.
State rights were being taken away long before Obama came into office.
