To: Non-Sequitur
[Gianni] Section 2 allows the president to call forth the militia to assist federal marshalls.

[Non-Sequitur (more appropriate than ever it seems)] No, Section 2 states, "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.

Honestly, Non, you've got to be kidding me. Are you going to claim you forgot what the word "no" means?

And? Are you saying Lincoln wasn't notified?
