Newsom should just disband the California National Guard and start giving out recruitment posters for the California State Guard which is exempt from federalization.
I wonder if that’s a financially feasible scenario. I assume the National Guard gets some amount of federal funding and maybe access to equipment that a state militia wouldn’t have access to.
The Wikipedia article you linked indicates that a large part of what the CSG does is directly in conjunction with the National Guard. If they’re toothless without the federal group, then it wouldn’t make sense to change the system.
