Exactly. Everyone is getting their panties in a twist about a “Civil War.” DoD assets cannot be used in law enforcement activities in CONUS. PERIOD. This about disaster relief.
“DoD assets cannot be used in law enforcement activities in CONUS. PERIOD.”
The first sentence is mostly correct. The “PERIOD” is not correct. Any law can be subject to change. Any part or all of the Constitution can be ignored. Any rule or law can be broken (that’s why we write laws).
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 was amended five times in the 1980s, largely to allow for the use of military resources to combat trafficking in illicit narcotics. And it’s my understanding DoD assets are being used on the southern border right now.
