Fantasy.

The Militia Act --assumes-- that the state government has been perverted or overthrown. It was passed at the request of George Washington.

It was one of the grounds cited by the Supreme Court in 1862 for the propriety of President Lincoln's actions. President Lincoln was required by his oath to resist the overthrow of the lawful government.

So, you're saying that we've had a National government, not a Federal government, for over 200 years!? Do you even know the difference!?

I'm saying that the Militia Act passed at the request of George Washington requires that United States law operate in all the states.
