If only the founding fathers had given us the tools to deal with government overreach. Sadly the founders were just weak men that would threaten to sue over anything the British Empire did and took no action. They taught us nothing. If we could think for a SECOND Im sure we could thing up an AMMENDMENT to the Constitution that would enable a state to repel federal forces from the state. Considering those federal forces are actually state forces (National Guard), and have already been declared illegal by the court ... perhaps a well regulated militia of armed volunteers could be called in to help. Sadly, our Constitution just doesn't allow this.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

If you dont live in Cali then it is "somebody else" by default. The governor of Cali could call for a volunteer militia to form up. It's within his legal rights.

The "someone else" in this case would be the Cali governor.
