re: #263 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

I haven’t seen anything yet about who exactly authorised requesting the National Guard.

DC has its own Guard. The DC Guard reports directly to the President, unlike the other three territories and fifty states.

Since they were not federalised for this action, state governors had to authorise sending them, but someone had to request them first.

I see. Well, not that it really matters, for there to be a 3A case here, the owners of all the hotels where NG troops are renting rooms (paying the gov’t rate, of course) would have to file with the courts that those troops are there without their consent. Considering the word that one or more of those hotels were closed due to the CV-19 outbreak, odds are the owners are not going to go along with kicking those troops out.
