In this case, the coward Republican governor isn't justified in asking, but it's his right to do it and so there it is.

In California, SHItler didn't wait for the Governor to ask, he just carried out a COUP of California government, shoving the Guard in there WITHOUT and against the will of the Governor. THAT is illegal and unconstitutional.

Sounds gov's "state of emergency" declaration is based on what's happening in the country, not factually in his state. ancianita Jun 13 #9
