If you're up for a long read, you can view here...
The kernel of it is that the federal government (congress) can call the reserve into active duty within the U.S. and outside.
When a reservist pledges his allegiance, he pledges to the state and the federal gov't. I was under the impression that the state governor controlled and had final say over where/when reservists were activated. He does until the federal gov't activates them. Then they go under the control of the U.S. army.
This limits states rights in that regard...The only independent entity beyond that is the sheriffs...The sheriff is the only elected law enforcer whose duty it is to protect the unalienable rights of the People both in the court room and within the county.
Just a piece of info. that may not be of interest, but, in these times it's nice to know where power resides...
