"Really not that far from 3X, as a rough estimate. Certainly not cause for snide derision."

Where is the "snide derision", Lurkerbreath?

I merely wrote in post 314, "Itsahoot......... you're one hell of an old guy, or you are one hell of a near old guy who is making a GOOD POINT .... yet exaggerating."

If you, Lurkerbreath, consider that derision of any sort, you are an oversensitive misguided individual. Get a grip.

You also may want to know that being called "one hell of an old guy" is NOT derision. It's a COMPLIMENT.

Get that grip.

“suppress Insurrections”

That isn't applicable to foreign invaders attempting to violate our borders.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan

Ah, gotcha — it might... but that’s very uncertain, as there’s a strong connotation of taking up arms.
It’d be hard to tie them to some active rebellion, legally speaking.

You and President Reagan are two wise folks. That is among the most important quotes in our lives. As the public education indoctrination systen churns out little socialists by the millions, I perceive an impossibility to stop these generations of kids who don't understand the Constitution and the country.

ps-- I hope you didn't think by referring to you as “ one hell of an old guy, or you are one hell of a near old guy who is making a GOOD POINT” . There is another poster here who considered my comment to you a “snide derision.”

My words were meant as a compliment as I suppose you knew.

And indeed …………"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Thanks for the President Reagan quote.

I knew I was a little overly generous with the three times thing. Fact is when I was in Third grade (1946) we were taught the US population was 93 million. I decided to check those old census figures several years back and discovered they were off quite a bit, at least according to the census. We didn't have the internet back then in fact a lot of people where I lived didn't have electric lights, some had gas lights most had kerosene lamps. WW II brought employment but not products, those came later.

LOL .... more clues. I guess you are around 80. I'll call you sir from now on. I'm only 71.

In case you like golf I just found this fine interview of two of the greats before this year's Masters.

Didn’t Lincoln use the U.S. military against U.S. citizens?

You mean citizens of the CSA?

My memory from grade school days (I don’t recall what grade, but my HS graduating class was ‘61)) is the figure 180 million.

They have done just about everything short of taking up arms.

Consider my fair state, led by Jerry Brown.

Oh, no doubt at all… but when you're talking about things like these you want to be as airtight as possible, for the precise reason that any sort of transgression, no matter how small, will be taken to invalidate the whole. It's that well you're wrong so I'm right-style reasoning that at first seems correct, especially if one doesn't put any thought into it.

Though there's enough ignoring and disregarding the Constitution among the government elites that trapping them would be easy.

The whole of Lincoln's argument can be summed up in this: the States are not allowed to leave the United States.
If that were taken as true, then they must have been citizens of the United States, transitively through their citizenship in their State…
What it also means is that the Civil War was Treason, on part of the federal government due to the definition in the Constitution:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Washington used federal troops against the Whiskey Rebellion.

Other examples The “Dorr Rebellion” in Rhode Island in 1842; the Abolition disturbances in Kansas between 1854 and 1858; the railroad strikes of 1877, extending through West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana; the Chicago strike of 1894; the San Francisco fire of 1906; the West Virginia coal strikes of 1921; and lastly, the “Bonus War” of 1932.

And which of those cited above were the waging of war against the states?
Whatever else might be said about the Civil War, that the federal government waged war against States cannot be denied without denying the whole of the federal government’s justifications.

None I was just citing examples of the use of Federal troops against civilians both before and after the Posse Comitatus Act.

This one is interesting & recent (see below).

On March 10, 2009, members of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps from Fort Rucker were deployed to Samson, Alabama, in response to a murder spree. Samson officials confirmed that the soldiers assisted in traffic control and securing the crime scene. The governor of Alabama did not request military assistance nor did President Obama authorize their deployment. Subsequent investigation found that the Posse Comitatus Act was violated and several military members received “administrative actions”.
