Old Andy is going to come out and say he only meant for help in parking cars.
He’s a gutless chickenshit.

By noon tomorrow all Trump supporters will have gone home to their jobs or retirement communities. AntiFA might still be in DC but I don’t think that the National Guard will do anything to them.

Good thing the Supreme Court avoided civil unrest, by not taking the Texas case.

True!!
Only....who’s causing any unrest, at this point?
Trump supporters have all dispersed.
Only ones left are...........Congress.

Only federalized national guard can cross state lines when activated.

Cuomo's press release says he is sending the troops "at the request of U.S. National Guard officials."
Was any such request sent? By whom? I would not be surprised if Muriel Bowser requested more Guard troops. I don't know how big the D.C. Guard is or for what it is trained, but Bowser would probably be happy to provide a fig leaf for this kind of action. But that would not be a request from "U.S. National Guard officials;" it would be a request from the DC government for assistance from other states.

I’m no military expert...or Constitutional expert...but I’d wager that only the President has the authority to move National Guard troops from state to state.
Any Gov can send Guard to any other State, without the FedGov getting involved. There's several different reasons, including natural disaster assistance requests, training, equipment relocation, and so on.
That said, NY has no business simply sending their guys to DC when no one has officially requested them.
To: sphinx
Technically DC does not have any authority since it is a federal district (at least for now).
To: janetjanet998
Murphy is sending NJ State Troopers to DC as well. How is that legal?
Then again, it’s Murphy who said that the Bill of Rights was above his pay grade.
