Why This Matters
🏛️ Your state's military isn't yours anymore:
Federal government can now seize control of state troops whenever it claims "rebellion" - setting precedent for future federal overreach
👮 Protest crackdowns get military backing:
What happens when peaceful protesters face combat-trained soldiers instead of local police who know the community
🏛️ Governors lose big:
State leaders discover their authority means nothing when federal government wants to flex military muscle
📜 Constitution gets stretched:
Courts bend "rebellion" definition so far it could apply to any protest movement that annoys a president
