re: #400 Kragar

The state National Guard has to be activated by the governor. Posse Comitatus Act and all that.

Even if there’s a natural disaster, it’s up to the governor to activate the national guard, not the president.

So, if there’s a delay in KY getting emergency aid, you can thank the GOP for that.

Of course, here in NYC metro, you’ve got right wingers bitching about how Gov. Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio shut down roads/highways during the storm, and/or gave warnings that there’d be arrests/summons for driving on highways during the storm. Yeah, these people are unhinged. Common sense eludes them. They’d also be the first to bitch that the roads/bridges were clogged with cars and not plowed because people weren’t told to stay at home etc.
