So a bit more on the Insurrection act being invoked by Trump..

Letitia James the AG of the state of NY is on MSNBC and flat out states that the feds cannot go into individual states to enforce state laws unless requested by the sitting Governor.

Said that (paraphrasing) if it is even attempted that she and other AG's (assuming other states?) will meet him at the steps of the courthouse (didnt say whether Fed or state level) and have it quashed before it ever begins.

I honestly dont believe that its anything more than a hollow threat unless some of the governors ask for military help and even then they would only be allowed to act upon those breaking federal laws.....looting and rioting etc is all under state purview if i understood her correctly.
