![It is important to emphasize, in that regard, that if neither § 253(2) nor any other legal
authority expressly empowers the President to use the “regular forces” in the military to help
enforce federal laws in Illinois, it would not follow that the precondition for calling forth the
National Guard pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3) would be satisfied here. It is difficult to
24
imagine that Congress intended to afford the President the ability to use the National Guard for
law-execution purposes in situations where he is “unable” to deploy the regular forces to do so
only in the sense that Congress has denied the President the authority to make such use of the
regular military. As far as amicus is aware, there is no basis for concluding that Congress
intended such a counterintuitive result. Indeed, there is evidence to the contrary: A cognate
provision, 10 U.S.C. § 12405, derived from Section 9 of the Dick Act, see Act of Jan. 21, 1903,
ch. 196, § 9, 32 Stat. at 776, provides that “[m]embers of the National Guard called into Federal
service are, from the time when they are required to respond to the call, subject to the laws and
regulations governing the Army or the Air Force, as the case may be, except those applicable
only to members of the Regular Army or Regular Air Force, as the case may be.” In other
words, Congress designed the militia calling-forth authority to enable the President to use
National Guard only in the same manner that he may make use of the regular military forces (and
only if and when those regular forces are unable to ensure sufficient execution of federal laws)—
not as a backdoor that would invite the militarization of law-execution in cases where Congress
has foreclosed the use of the standing Armed Forces themselves](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cfk6dxcceavbfezwu2y5zb4g/bafkreien4mv3pnsbmc6xtc5i3y7zmswk7rkkm33k7ph3ihv6ebferut2zu@jpeg)

Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.
