I did not now about this but posted it just in case someone around here could fill me in.. It is a fake?
It isn't the real congressional website.
Even the article is highly in doubt as:
A) it is unsourced
B) has pretty piss-poor writing
Case in point:
Note: Following the end of the Civil War the rights of the individual US States to succeed
That's "secede"
from the Union was heard by their Supreme Court in a case called Texas v. White (1869) and who ruled that the Constitution did not permit States to secede
Now he/she/it gets it right
from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding States intended to give effect to such ordinances, were "absolutely null". However, the decision did allow some possibility of divisibility "through revolution, or through consent of the States."
Obama, in fearing a revolution against him by the States, this report continues, has moved swiftly against them, including nationalizing nearly all National Guard Forces in Governor Pawlenty's Minnesota in what is being described as their State's largest call up of troops since World War II.
Immaterial. Any president can call-up NG troops.
Other reports coming from the United States are stating that Obama has also nationalized the National Guard forces in Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, and perhaps Texas too
"and perhaps"???
Really?
BTW - the author forgot Florida and Colorado amongst others. But guess what? Bush "nationalized" NG troops as well. They have been a staple in the GWoT. Hell, we even have a CO contingent going to Slovenia to train up for 3 mos. before they go with the Slovenians to A-stan (I so-o-o wanted that mission).
That website would do well to get some Xanax and a brown paper bag.
