Granted, I can't imagine a state government taking over NO with the same kind of thoroughness and authority a federal government can

Did you just use the word "thoroughness" and "Federal Government" in the same sentence? *giggle*

for example, where're they going to find the money to evac 20K-plus people

Irrelevent. Not my problem. They're Louisianna citizens, it's Louisianna's problem.

the resources to drum up the National Guard when a good chunk of them are somewhere else?

Whatever. Again, not my problem. If it was an issue, and the National Guard has said repeatedly it wasn't, Blanco could have picked up the phone and asked some of her neighbors to spare a few troopers.

Besides which, this kind of operation /has/ to be done by the National guard, under the control of the State. If the President Federalizes them, they fall under Possi Comitatus (the laws that forbid the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement), and can't be used for Law Enforcement (unless the rpesident declares an insurection in process).

Large Federal Government = Bad. That's just a basic fact.

Yes, but else are you going to support that pretty pretty military?

I have no clue what you're talking about. A large federal government isn't required to support the military.
