That’s a fair point. I was under the assumption that they were still using the “invasion” thing since that was what they leaned into for the deportations. I can definitely see them going with “rebellion” instead.
Seems like there is some (temporary) good news on the topic at least:
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Thursday directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California.
The order, which takes effect at noon Friday, said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority.
When taking to the press they purposefully used words like “invasion” and “rebellion” to help with justification of invoking this obscure law but it is clear it is not.
Like all judgments against Trump, ir’s only as powerful as the enforcement. If the Guard leadership chooses to follow Trump over Newsom, the courts mean nothing.
