Two state attorneys this week warned President Trump to "stay out of [their] cities," insinuating that the president's expressed intent to dispatch federal law enforcement to counteract civil unrest across the country was comparable to 1930s dictatorships.
These state attorneys sound like Gov Wallace in the 1960s or Gov Faubus speaking to President Eisenhower.

My action does not constitute disobedience to legislative and constitutional provisions. It is not defiance – for defiance sake, but for the purpose of raising basic and fundamental constitutional questions. My action is raising a call for strict adherence to the Constitution of the United States as it was written – for a cessation of usurpation and abuses. My action seeks to avoid having state sovereignty sacrificed on the altar of political expediency...it is my duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed. The illegal and unwarranted actions of the Central Government on this day, contrary to the laws, customs and traditions of this State is calculated to disturb the peace.
Whoops, my bad. That statement was made 57 years ago.
