There's no reason to shed Posse Commitatus Act of 1878 unless you want a dictatorship and I can assure you that Lindsey is the sort of guy who has always thought that he and the other nobles should be running the country while the unwashed masses kiss the feet of the nobility. A** kissing is reserved as a means to test the loyalty of those who want to be allowed to serve the nobility in a way that somewhat elevates them above the other sorry peasants groveling before the power of the State. As gardeners, drivers, body servants, etc.

I disagree; the reason for the Posse Commitatus Act is to give a false sense of security. After all, the Constitution SPECIFICALLY enumerates this power:
(in Art I, Sec 8) — “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;”

The real problem is that the law will not be executed UNIFORMLY; can you even *imagine* [say] the Supreme Court being arrested for violating the 18 USC 241/424 for declaring ObamaCare Constitutional? Or the BATF, DEA, and FBI for its involvement in Fast & Furious (unauthorized acts of war, state-supported terrorism)?
