[ftD #708] So, the President must wait for formal notification while guns are being pointed at US forts, and other federal installations are being taken over? Do you work for the ACLU?

Oh well, I suppose I can go along with your ACLU joke as well as the one foisted upon you and capitan_refugio.

The parties are:

nolu chan, the party of the first part, Heavenly Endowed Regimental Officer of Truth, hereinafter referred to as HERO of Truth.
Non-Sequitur, the party of the second part, hereinafter referred to as BOZO #1.
fortheDeclaration, the party of the third part, hereinafter referred to as BOZO #2.
capitan_refugio, the party of the fourth part, hereinafter referred to as BOZO #3.

The HERO of Truth, at #617, properly identified the Militia Act of 1795 and correctly quoted Section 1 of said Act, which explicitly addresses invasion and insurrection.

BOZO #1 responded at #620:

To: nolu chan
You forgot Section 2:
"And be it further enacted, That whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, the same being notified to the President of the United States, by an associate justice or the district judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such state to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. And if the militia of a state, where such combinations may happen, shall refuse, or be insufficient to suppress the same, it shall be lawful for the President, if the legislature of the United States be not in session, to call forth and employ such numbers of the militia of any other state or states most convenient thereto, as may be necessary, and the use of militia, so to be called forth, may be continued, if necessary, until the expiration of thirty days after the commencement of the ensuing session."
[Hero of Truth: boldface added]

BOZO #1 repeated his quote of "Section 2" with his #638.

BOZO #2 joined in at #642, and reached the summit of his legal and academic achievement at #708, quoted supra.

BOZO #3 joined the chorus with his #652 and #656.

Now BOZOS #1, #2, and #3 were singing in three part harmony.

BOZO #1, at his #709 to BOZO #2, stated, "Oh just wait. Somewhere along the way Nolu Chan (sic - nolu chan) will say something that will drop your jaw even farther and get your head to shaking yet again. When it comes to idiotic theories, the southron contingent have a seemingly limitless supply."

The HERO of TRUTH included the following disclaimers in his accurate posts.

That is what the text posted by NON-SEQUITUR says. Of course, I take no responsibility for the validity of idiocies posted by the Brigade Minister of Propaganda. But if he wants to post that text, I am willing to go along with the joke and inquire about the notification requirement inherent to the text that he posted.
I'm just going along with the joke posted by the Minister of Propaganda. According to NON-SEQUITUR #638, there was a requirement of POTUS being notified by an associate justice or the district judge.

BOZO #1, at his #620 and #638 wrote to nolu chan, "You forgot Section 2" and he proceeded to quote the BOZO #1 version of Section 2 of the Militia Act of 1795.

Although I have corrected this error many, many times in the past, BOZO #1 selected and posted text from the Militia Act of 1792, not the Militia Act of 1795. The Militia Act of 1792 was repealed in 1795, that being 209 years ago.

"Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, That the act, entitled "An act to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions," passed the second day of May, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two, shall be and the same is hereby repealed."

And so it came to pass that BOZO #2 and BOZO #3 were high-fiving and backslapping BOZO #1 for posting invalid and misidentified text from an Act that was repealed 209 years ago. And they joined together, in a Brigade display of legal and academic expertise, singing their praises in three-part harmony.

And so passed another episode in the life of the Bozo Brigade.

By the Act of 1795 the militia may be called forth 'whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed, or the execution thereof obstructed, in any State by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of Judicial proceedings, or by the power vested in the marshals.' This imposes upon the President the sole responsibility of deciding whether the exigency has arisen which requires the use of military force, and in proportion to the magnitude of that responsibility will be his care not to overstep the limits of his legal and just authority.

Once again, what point are you attempting to make?

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, [words requiring notification by an associate justice or district judge were omitted in 1795 revision. The revision gave the President more authority] the same being notified to the President of the United States, by an associate justice or the district judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such state to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. And if the militia of a state, where such combinations may happen, shall refuse, or be insufficient to suppress the same, it shall be lawful for the President, if the legislature of the United States be not in session, to call forth and employ such numbers of the militia of any other state or states most convenient thereto, as may be necessary, and the use of militia, so to be called forth, may be continued, if necessary, until the expiration of thirty days after the commencement of the ensuing session.

Wow -- LOL!
