I think you really need to go back and read Perpich v. DOD, Supra. and the Montgomery Amendment before you speak on the subject of state vs. federal activation. The Montgomery Amendment predated your husband's activation and the above cited case is dated at approximately the same time . I mean unless you feel it is not necessary to burden yourself with the knowledge, and prefer to continue speaking off the top of your head.

I am a little disappointed in your response on the Law Review issue. I thought you were going to cite something concrete in the way of an explanation rather than a sour grapes statement because your boy friend could not cut it, or was otherwise disappointed. By the way was he a law student? If not, his experience is irrelevant to the law review selection process. I know the selection process at most law schools  is extremely competitive. The law review at a law school represents a standard of excellence which the schools stand behind.

If there is any perception of weakness that follows Obama it could certainly not be any worse than the realities of failure in the White House for the past eight years.

Self proclaimed Messiah?...When did this occur under the light of the last full moon?...Wow, move over , Jesus.
