Surely Jarrett is not stupid enough to send a bunch of BLM Forrest Rangers” down to Texas after Bunkerville. The humiliation in an out of control election year will be 100 times Bunkerville. These fed clowns this time will be walking back to where they came from with their camos pulled down around their ankles and their hands clasped over their heads.

There is not enough “employable” force IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to quell the anger of the American people this year. The ANGER is palpable in tens of millions of people. Unprecedented!

Last night I was researching this very issue. The most famous case case of National Guard mobilization in federal/state conflict was desegregation. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas Guard to "Preserve the Peace" by turning away the black students who were attempting to integrate into Little Rock's Central High School.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower reacted to this use of the Guard by federalizing the entire Arkansas National Guard and using it to protect the nine black students integrating Central High School.

In conclusion, if Perry mobilizes the Guard, Obama could just federalize it and order them down.

State control of the NG is minimal at best.

I would love to see states pass a law that no federal SWAT teams are allowed on their soil, except for FBI and then only by invitation and in cooperation with local law enforcement.

Every conservative state needs an active, independent, fully armed military - now more than ever before.

Miller went further, calling on Texas Governor Rick Perry to mobilize the Texas State Guard

He did NOT say the National Guard as the title of the article states

The BFLM is currently a more accurate abbreviation of the BLM.

The BFLM is the abbreviation for the Bureau of FEUDAL Land Management.

Feudalism is what Europe was based on, and if it was good enough for Europe, then it is good enough for America!

Currently, the purpose of the BFLM is to provide land, free of charge, to the Commune-organized Obamanation to do with as the ruling Senate and Administration Feudal Lord Democrats see fit.

Predictions are that the cave-in Doormat Republican Leaders will, as usual, just huff and puff on TV, as required by the 2 year Congressional “No Fight Deal” that Ryan, Pelosi, Reid and Obama have forced them to sign.

Obama now knows in his smug arrogance that his “Obamanation Transformation of the United States of America” will continue unchallenged as long as Boehner and McConnell are kept in power as leaders in Congress.

“All ye lowly, collateral-damaged, Feudal Serfs bow to thine arrogant Feudal Democrat Lords!”

FORWARD!

Important legal note: In past, the federal courts have found that they have supremacy over state courts; and they have also found that congress has supremacy over state legislatures.

But they have *never* found that the president has supremacy over state governors. This means that if a state governor resists presidential authority, the only recourse the president has is the use of armed force by the US military.

The last time this happened was when Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, Bill Clinton’s mentor, refused to let the Little Rock high school be integrated, despite court orders. He also turned out the Arkansas National Guard to prevent it being integrated by Federal Marshals.

But his mistake was in challenging president Eisenhower, who had backbone to spare. He sent in the 101st Airborne division.

However, in a spineless tyrant like Obama, ordering the military into conflict with the Texas National Guard would be highly unlikely from any number of directions. Especially those regular army officers who tried to order it suddenly appearing on the medical roster after having fallen down a flight of stairs.

“Miller went further, calling on Texas Governor Rick Perry to mobilize the Texas State Guard, if necessary, in order to prevent the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from seizing 90,000 acres of land along a 116 mile stretch of the Red River”

This is what Brian Sandoval should already have done. Another RINO hiding under his desk.

They are not a part of the United States Armed Forces and are not subject to orders from the President.

They can be federalized in a heartbeat. Eisenhower used that trick in Little Rock.

Sheriff's posse's however are not subject to that trick and until Sheriffs figure out that they have great power this stuff will continue. Bundy is a least trying to wake them up, but is not very adept at presenting the case.

It is my understanding that there are NO Federal lands in Texas. It is all private or State land.

I remember confirmng this on the BLM website a while ago. They list no land in Texas that is managed by them.
