It would be interesting the way a live hand grenade is interesting.

The refusal of a federalized National Guard unit to obey the Commander-in-Chief would constitute mutiny, punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The President would have no choice but to send in the Regular Army or Marines to bend the Guard unit to his will.

Think in terms of what Eisenhower did in Little Rock in 1957 when he feared that the Arkansas National Guard might refuse his orders and obey Gov. Orval Faubus instead.

Better yet, send the National Guard to DC and institute some American Regime Change

That's a different situation. In that case the governor was breaking the federal law. In this case it is Obama who is not heeding the laws.

If the president decided to intervene, he would be creating a showdown with the people (the state). Us, not Congress.

The Guard would follow the law, but obama would broadcast his desire loud and clear that he demands the illegal invaders be allowed to continue unabated vs protecting our borders from the invasion.

Even lo-fo's couldn't ignore that. It would be a political disaster for him.
