    RICHMOND, VA—As Governor Ralph Northam has begun to dismantle Virginia in a systematic fashion, many Virginians began to grow concerned that he was just going to destroy the entire state.


    Commentary:
    UPDATE: So I’m wondering: What if Virginians rebelled and overthrew Northam’s government? It’s unlikely, but if they did, federal intervention is also unlikely. There have been two such cases in American history — the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, and in both cases the federal government didn’t intervene. To intervene, the president would have to make a declaration under the Insurrection Act, and there’s no obligation that he do so. And the question of which state government is legitimate is, according to the Supreme Court’s decision in Luther v. Borden, political and non-justiciable.

    "They" will destroy the state to "save" it! WV left Va in 1863, might this happen again?

      The suggestion is an armed takeover of a legally constituted state government...as a protest of gun regulations that if passed would not even make Virginia the most restrictive state on such matters?

      Anyone besides me see how that could backfire?

        the title to that article is playing on Northam's comments last year on late (very late)term abortions,
