I've been looking at the Brennan Center for Justice. It's almost as if diffuse lefty ideology, phobias and agendas have been distilled into concise reports. It makes for interesting skimming.

I came across a 13-page downloadable PDF discussing the Posse Comitatus Act.  Skimming isn't going to do it; I'm going to read it as I think it lays out the lefty agenda in dismantling the Act, and the direction of their legal challenges should the Insurrection Act every be employed by a Conservative. Perhaps if looney Harris wins, all interest in reforming the Act will evaporate, as the assertion in the article is that it's left open and vulnerable to presidential excesses.

Here's an excerpt:

"This report proceeds in three parts. Part I discusses the dangers of using the military for domestic law enforcement, a concern that has been prominent in American legal thinking since the nation’s founding. It also explains how the Constitution approaches domestic deployment of the military, including the central role accorded to Congress. Part II lays out the array of problems that undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, from its many statutory exceptions to its lack of meaningful enforcement mechanisms. Finally, part III lays out a legislative proposal for fixing each of these shortcomings."

From my prior post: “Perhaps if looney Harris wins, all interest in reforming the Act will evaporate, as the assertion in the article is that it’s left open and vulnerable to presidential excesses.”

Do I need the sarcasm tag? Even the MSM is admitting she’s losing the race and the remains of her sanity! :D
