If he did, the mad liberals will soon be screaming that he usurped State's Rights needlessly and with insufficient reason.
If he did not, the mad liberals will shortly be screaming that he violated federal law sending active duty US Troops (82nd airborne) into the area to do CSAR (Yes, COMBAT Search & Rescue, because of goons shooting at the rescuers) without the permission of the Governor.
Either way, the liberals scream, then scream more, scream louder, and the Republicans never call them down onto the carpet about it. I need to buy some stock in Binaca Throat Spray before it starts. The price'll go throgh the roof!
