That’s a question I’ve been asked a lot over the past three and a half years, and never more often than the last 12 hours or so. And it’s an understandable question—we’re a constitutional republic. There are rules and they are written down. All we need to do is check the rules and see if things are OK.
The article does not address the issue of :
DC is not a state, it is 'controlled' by the federal government (actually, Congress).
There is no 'governor' to request military intervention.
That does make a difference.
