I love your optimism here, but it's naive to believe that after everything that the president has done to date that is blatantly illegal and he has no authority to do that he will not somehow coopt the National Guard under some bullshit 200 year old law that was never meant to give him this power. Or fuck laws - he has shown his entire career a complete disregard for them and thinks he is completely unbound by the law - and he just does it anyways. Republicans in congress have proven over the last 3 months that they'll happily cede the power their constituents entrusted them with to their dictator. What makes you think he won't make the governors bend to his will? Republican first, then by force for the rest.
