Obammy and the executive branch enforces the law (in theory). In reality he enforces whatever laws he agrees with. No doubt he’d agree with the SC on this one. Would be interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down.

“...interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down...”

Or it might be a column of militia in the face-off.

“Would be interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down.”

If history is any indicator, it proably wouldn’t come down to that.

Back in 1962, JFK forced Ole Miss to accept the first black student. Kennedy feared that Mississippi’s governor would call out the Natl Guard to block the US marshals from bringing James Meredith on to campus.

He federalized them. The Guard was sent to stop the rioting around campus and in nearby Oxford.

Many of the Guardsmen weren’t keen on seeing Meredith admitted to Ole Miss but they had sworn an oath to the Constitution (and probably weren’t keen on being courtmartialed for insubordination) and they followed order from their commander in chief.
