National Guard Begins Arresting Pipeline Protestors At Gunpoint

Armed to the teeth, these Guard members are arresting people by the truckload to allow corporations to have unfettered access to our natural resources.

that just maybe they should reread this piece of paper and the treaties and ACTS which they are suppose to enforce
Article II Section 2 Paragraph 3
Article II Section 8 Paragraph 3.

And the First Amendment on the right to assemble.

And just for giggles they apparently they forgot that the president is the only one that can call on the militia, or did Governor John Stewart "Jack" Dalrymple III forget this also and the oil company : Article II Section 2 Paragraph 1

And then we have the Tenth Amendment

So, Hedi Heitkamp and Obama, and the 2 right wing republicans, John Hoeven, Kevin Cramer, are basically doing what again?
