Yeah.

I guess one of the things you mentioned that.

you know, it's a law and therefore may be subject to judicial oversight, who would have standing to sort of sue to stop the president from invoking the Insurrection Act?

Would the state of Minnesota?

We sit here, we're recording on Friday, the 16th of January, and Minneapolis and St.

Paul Public Schools are offering virtual learning, I think until mid-February, because there's so many children and parents who are terrified of going to school.

And one would assume that they would have standing to say, hey, this, you know, whatever, ramping this up, if you do invoke the Insurrection Act, is causing great harm to our children's education.

Exactly.

And nobody hates a school closure more than the right wing.

So that would be an interesting moral conundrum for them.

I mean, the last time I believe an American president invoked the Insurrection Act was George H.W.

Bush during the L.A.

riots, right?

Yes.

How did that happen?

Oh, imagine that.

The invitation of the state back when invites were when consent mattered.

Yeah, exactly.

But prior to that, it was kind of I was looking at a timeline.

Thank you, USA Today, of when it was most invoked.
