Once federalized under Title 10, the National Guard becomes active-duty military personnel, just like the Army. It would be the use of military force against the state's wishes and without a clear need.

It strips away the governor's authority and puts control squarely in the President’s hands, for a situation he is far removed from, involving people he doesn't know.
