In reply to the discussion: Guard call up is invalid- they can be held personally responsible. [View all]ancianita
(40,974 posts)25. "My evidence refuting the OP's claim is that Newsom (and the AG, and other legal experts) have not made this claim.)..."
You put Newsom in the OP's mouth -- the OP did. not. say. "that Newsom ... have not made this claim" .
The OP simply stated what actually is a fact:
The Governor's office states the call into Federal service of members of the State's National Guard was not issued through the State's Governor -- as required by federal law -- nor was it transmitted to, nor approved or ordered by.
"Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" -10 U.S.C. 12406
...
"Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" -10 U.S.C. 12406
and you then decided that what you inferred was what the OP implied, when it didn't.
Overall, you have made up a problem with the OP that doesn't exist. The situation right now is still too fluid for you to call out people's facts as opinions, nevermind that they're "clearly mistaken" and making that clearly mistaken understanding the basis for your criticism. In the meantime, I support the point of this OP in the current fluid context of states rights, and am glad it made its way to the Main Page.
I'm done here. Have a good day.

Thank you, although if past is prologue on DU, this misinfo OP will rack up 100+ recs.

Why "clearly." The OP clearly infers Newsom's likely position; so what if it doesn't mention Newsom. You're
