Why would they? And did you ever get your toothpaste issue resolved? --←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:29, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly not, I tried to return the PS6 but I just got some piece of junk called an "iPhone 15". 68.74.200.55 (talk) 16:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. Per the Posse Comitatus Act, federal forces cannot be used domestically. Per that article when the National Guard is federalized under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, that shifts control from the state governor to the President, making Guard operations subject to the Posse Comitatus Act as well. --Jayron 32 00:29, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's the context behind this strange proposition? The Feds ordering the invasion of Oklahoma? Has the Oklahoma legislature been defiant towards the Feds lately, or something like that? I haven't heard anything; please enlighten me? Eliyohub (talk) 13:36, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
