#1 Tough noogies, Bub. If youo want your own Militia raise and pay for it yourself. The National Guard was never intended to replace State Militias.

#2 I wouldn't worry about it. Summer's coming and their attention will have to shift to doing something about the naked elderly population that seems to arrive and enjoy strolling around the highways and byways of the Green Mountain State...

#3 "There is no such thing as a limited authorization by Congress for a permanent ongoing call-up."

Hmmm..gee, even I can read the law.

TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART II > CHAPTER 39 > § 671a Members: service extension during war

Unless terminated at an earlier date by the Secretary concerned, the period of active service of any member of an armed force is extended for the duration of any war in which the United States may be engaged and for six months thereafter.

and

TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 311. 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.

BTW, thats the federal militia. And for those who live in newspeek check in here and note well the application of the term War Powers Resolution.

#4 When I read the headline I thought Tenn, Ala, Miss, and maybe Ark. Then I read the first paragraph, ohh politics. Quite sad with what happened last night.

#5 Aw right, Civil War! We haven't had one of those in a long time. Why should Africa have all the fun, eh? Not to worry. President McCain will straighten this out.
