My question is why can't the governor mobilize the AZ National Guard? I heard her being interviewed this afternoon and she said the Fed Gov't won't let her. Is this because we're talking about federal land? Otherwise why would she have to play "mother may I" with the Feds?
Because Obama "Federalized" them. She no longer has any legal authority over her own State's NG.
Is this because we're talking about federal land?
That's another reason. Governor Brewer is falling into the Fed trap of "It is because we say so." What she should do is call up te regular and irregular State Militia and use them to defend the citizens of her fair State.
