I thought the Nat guard was already mobilized to put up the barrier to the courthouse?

  If that is the case, then the governor is supporting the federal government. Has anyone received a statement from the governor?

    Not necessarily. "Another method is when the federal government activates the Guard in what is called Title 10 status—that is what is meant by “federalizing” the Guard. The federal government pays, and activated Guard units are placed under the control of the secretary of defense and the president, with an active-duty military officer in the chain of command." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/right-way-activate-national-guard/608524/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/right-way-...

      Oh I see, according to wikipedia, in 2006 the laws changed. The Federal government gave themselves power to control the state organized militias. That is intriguing, as there have been arguments in the past against non government funded militias being required, due to the existence of the National Guard making them redundant. In that case, the states have been rendered defenseless against the Federal government. Who's part of the next layer? State police?
