[QUOTE="dhomoney, post: 392416, member: 2134"] Yeah Posse Comitatus would stop the US Army from helping but not National Guard. The thing of it is that I think we should take another look at this though. While the Governor can use them the fed.gov can take them and make them part of the US Army at any time. This would lead me to believe that they are not really state guard, but like the name says a National Guard. What Governors should be able to us are true state guard/militias. The National Guard, appears to me, to be just quasi-US Army. A good example is the Texas State Guard. Virginia and Ohio also have state militias. These are wholly state organizations. They cannot be called up or given orders by the fed.gov, their only Commander-in-Chief is the Governor of their state. This is truly a state guard/militia and more suited to the task at hand.
