The national intelligence director said she was referring Obama administration officials, including ex-FBI director James Comey, to the Justice Department for prosecution over allegations they had “manufactured” intelligence to substantiate the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump beat Obama’s former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

James Comey, huh? The guy who dropped the email scandal in October 2015 and handed the election to Trump? That James Comey?

4 genders? That's just too much.

Chinese organized crime is huge in illegal grow operations, but obviously that doesn't make it right to point to people's race as a determining factor in the decision to investigate "unusual" electricity usage.

NJ drivers have a penchant for left lane camping, but I generally agree with your assessment. I do want to point out, as a Masshole myself, that Massachusetts has a lower fatal accident rate per capita AND per vehicle mile traveled (by VMT, we're actually the lowest) than New Jersey does. I don't think we deserve the bad rap we get.

I'll have you know my lawn is a crop and it yields social status.

Hmmm... maybe time for the left to appropriate the 30 to 50 feral hogs meme.

Well, Newsom is suing which is... fine. I think he should deploy his remaining 20k troops to kick the (4700 and counting) feds out, but that's playing with fire. Going forward, as I suggested, states need to make sure they control their Guard deployments. This could take the form of legislation or executive orders at the state level, or, since it's already federal law that the orders go through the governor, a simple memo informing the Guard that anyone from command down to rank & file will be immediately arrested for following illegal orders.

And on your other comment, yes, by the letter of the law that was illegal, although it was a slightly more complicated situation because as the article states:

Eisenhower and Faubus agreed that the Arkansas National Guard would remain at the school to maintain order, so the black students could attend.

... then Faubus reneged on the agreement.

Whatever. Right now, in the time that we are currently living through, during which an unhinged aspiring dictator is deploying military forces on US soil for immoral reasons, is not the time to equivocate about legality.
