But no, the President can't do that unilaterally.  He can only do so to enforce orders from a federal judge or from Congress.

No, he doesn't. You should re-read the Insurrection Act to help with your confusion. He publishes an order to disperse and when they don't he can order in the troops. He can in fact, according to section 252 act unilaterally to do so when, as in the case in Seattle, the local and state governments refuse to act.

The Chop/Chaz did not disrupt ordinary federal judicial proceedings, and they did not declare themselves opposed to federal authority, so that law does not apply.

That part of the insurrection act, like I said, needs a federal judge saying, "hey, I made an order and they're not listening!" before it is triggered.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
