	There's no constitutional authorization for it unless an armed attempt is 
mounted to seize power of either a state or the federal government.  The US 
invasion of the southern states 140 years ago is well known to have been illegal.

	The constitution is an envelope within which the federal, and to a certain 
extent the several states, must remain.

	The federal government has been outside the envelope so long now, at least 70 
years, perhaps 90 years; that it will be difficult returning it to the reservation.

	I'd like to do that bloodlessly, but I have doubts that that is possible.
