Clause 15 delegates to Congress the power to provide for “calling forth the militia” in three situations only: 1) to execute the laws of the union, 2) to suppress insurrections, and 3) to repel invasions.

I'm gonna go with "because they're traitors."
Final answer.
Because they hate us.
They need the illegals votes to stay in power..
Because they don't want too.
Thanks for bringing this up, I was intrigued. It appears that even though the power to call forth the militia rests with Congress, the authority to direct the militias called forth rests with the Commander in Chief. So, it would be worthless to provide militias to a Commander in Chief who won’t properly employ them.

Can they delegate them to the states? Is the Governor the Commander of the State National Guard?
I heard something interesting about The SCotUS decision... While the Border Patrol can take it down Texas is NOT prohibited from putting it back up!!! So Texas NG can go along right behind the Border Patrol putting it back up... This also perhaps means that the BP cannot destroy it as it is the Property of Texans!!
Originally state militias belonged to the state and were at their Governor’s command. My understanding is the call forth clause was a mechanism for the federal government to bring militias under federal control.
Basically, I think the National Guard represents a standing militia that is permanently subject to the call forth clause. They are funded with Federal funds and can be nationalized at the President’s whim.
It seems DeSantis is the sole Governor who has taken steps to create an old-style state militia that is not beholden to the federal government.
In order for everyone in the world to understand just how corrupted and compromised our government is, every major institution put in place to secure our rights and liberties, must fail in spectacular fashion. Lest anyone hang on to some slim hope that they will do what they swore to do.
LOOK NO FUTHER THAN HERE FOR THE ECONOMIC REASONS...

This analysis is straight facts so does not touch on political reasons... i.e.: To dilute the white conservative vote, make uni-party of democratic votes, dilute the local conservative majority towards more liberal leaning views to change laws etc.
Because the majority are paid or blackmailed to go with the flow or they don’t have the guts, that is why Congress acts like ineffectual, limp wristed cucks.
I was wondering why the impeachment vote failed. From a Plan perspective is it possible that the timing is not right, yet, so the movie script didn't allow it?
It failed because 1 Republican wasn’t there and there would have been a voting tied score. The rule is if tied, then he would not be impeached and no revote is allowed. To prevent that, one Republican changed his vote to no and by doing that, there was no tied score and then they have to revote at a later date. That allows the one absent congressman to show up next time and then we would have a majority and he will be impeached.
Good to know. Thanks.
Yup, just learned it yesterday myself.
I hear that the way it was done allows it to be revisited Monday when Scalia's is back. And the left has had more opportunities to buy off others...
My guess.... money.
