At the center of the sprawling legal battle over President Trump's domestic military deployments is a single word: rebellion. To justify sending the National Guard to Los Angeles and other cities over the outcry of local leaders, the Trump administration has cited an obscure and little-used law empowering presidents to federalize soldiers to "suppress" a rebellion, or the threat of one. But the statute does not define the word on which it turns. That's where Bryan A. Garner comes in.
