Obviously, Obama has no knowledge of the Posse Comitatus Act.....or is finagling to circumvent it.Sorry I don't have it in front of me but was amended a few years back - troops can be used domestically under a great many more circumstances. I can see if I can dig up the new, but you might find it before me.

Thanks.....but there's still the 10th Amendment that weighs in on Federal tyranny.
I'm pleased to see your post above about the Stamp Act and others that were imposed on the colonies which led to the Revolution. You didn't mention they were called the Intolerable Acts, which also called for British troops to be quartered in American homes, seizure of properties (whaling ships, in my family's case) and conscription at sea of ship's crew members.
My family was loyal to the Crown like Benjamin Franklin till the coercive acts turned them, enraged them having had to hand over property, business and wealth in exchange for a piece of paper that meant 'Start over'.
