Northerners in the 1850s didn't realize what they were up against until a Senator was almost beaten to death on the Senate floor by a Southerner. What will it take before the Dems wake up to the danger they're in?

With the exception of a hint of a badge peeking out from beneath backwards hat guy’s untucked shirt, there’s no visual indication that any of these guys are law enforcement officers—much less authorized to use force inside a frickin courthouse.

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

JUST IN: The Trump admin defends sending ~5,000 troops to LA: "The statute empowers the President to determine what forces 'he considers necessary' to 'suppress' a 'rebellion' or to 'execute' federal 'laws'—not the Governor, and not a federal court." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
NTRODUCTION
In a crass political stunt endangering American lives, the Governor of California seeks to
use this Court to stop the President of the United States from exercising his lawful statutory and
constitutional power to ensure that federal personnel and facilities are protected. But, under the
Constitution, the President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, and the President is
responsible for ensuring the protection of federal personnel and federal facilities. Over the past
several days, violent rioters who object to enforcement of federal immigration laws have targeted
and damaged federal buildings, injured federal personnel, and impeded federal functions. The
L.A. Police Department (“LAPD”) and other local and state law enforcement have been unable to
bring order to the city. Indeed, in a press conference, the LAPD Chief of Police lamented that
“things have gotten out of control” and warned that “somebody could easily be killed.”1
Evaluating the unrest and threats to the enforcement of federal law that local and state authorities
were unable or unwilling to control, the President responded by using the authority vested in him
by statute and the Constitution to federalize and deploy the California National Guard to protect
federal personnel and property, quell the mobs, and restore order. When the situation escalated
further, the Secretary of Defense deployed a group of U.S. Marines to further assist.
There is no rioters’ veto to enforcement of federal law. And the President has every right
under the Constitution and by statute to call forth the National Guard and Marines to quell lawless
violence directed against enforcement of federal law. Yet instead of working to bring order to Los
Angeles, California and its Governor filed a lawsuit in San Francisco seeking a court order limiting
the federal government’s ability to protect its property and officials. The extraordinary relief
