The Posse Comitatus Act

On its face, the PCA only applies to active duty members of the Army and the Air Force.
Accordingly, federal courts have consistently read the plain language of the PCA to limit its
application to these two services.9

CINC going to WV today for a pow-wow.... isn’t that where the Greenbriar hotel is? that supposedly is never used. Maybe it’s the only secure place to speak freely for a large group.

As I read it PCA refers to “domestic” issues Dems will argue immigration is domestic Trump has framed it as a foreign invasion.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.
