Well, if it came down to it, wouldn't people going in arms against the Guard be simply excercising their Constitutional rights? And wouldn't the Guard's soldiers be following an illegal order?

Personally, while I believe that people are reading way too much into it (as August pointed out, this is a fairly standard practice), I also believe that "just doing their job" is no reason for any American to sacrifice THEIR rights...
