Posse Comitatus has its genesis in the administration of Rutherford Hayes.
It was adopted and promoted by a Democrat Congress to prevent Federal Troops from enforcing the new amendments regarding B l ack citizenship or hunting down those lunatics in the KKK in southern states.
Democrats - making long term trouble again.
It is NOWHERE in the Constitution or our founding documents.
“Posse Comitatus has its genesis in the administration of Rutherford Hayes.”
Its genius was to relieve the South from military occupation, which it had been under for about twelve years.
Had nothing whatever to do with black citizenship and the general notion that the KKK controlled everything in the South is laughable. The KKK was a secret organization, had to be, because it operated outside the law that existed at that time.
It reminds me of the historical revisionism that blacks could not vote in the South before the Voting Rights Act of 1964. They had been voting by the hundreds of thousands previous to that year, at least here in Louisiana if they so chose.
Less than half of all Americans choose to vote today.
