2 FTA:

It's unlikely to make them budge in ending the shutdown, though.

Trump should shut down all commercial and general aviation in VA, DC and MD. Let the Congress & Senate walk or drive everywhere. That might encourage them to budge.

4 Federal judges can't read the very Constitution they swore to uphold and defend.

Art. I, Section 8 of said document -

"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;"

7 National Guard is not the "militia", it is the Armed Forces. Militia don't deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. NG does.
The Constitution lists the militia as able-bodied men between 18 and 45, I believe.

8 FYI

10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

9 History time, pull up a chair.

The militia was originally a state level force that only the governor could call up. The state paid for ammo and food, but that is it. The gear was needed to be bought by the men.

Fast forward as WWI broke out, the US found the militia units were by this point little more than gentleman's clubs and not ready for any type of fighting. The law was passed to nationalize the militia into the national guard. They are still paid by the state but the feds give them their equipment and training.

The governor can call them up like before, but part of the agreement for the guard getting equipment and arms is the President could call them up as well and he, like the governors, does not need congressional approval.

The unorganized militia is everyone else 18-45 that isn't a pastor or a member of the merchant marines (everyone that can be drafted)
