Posse Comitatus is inconvenient, apparently, just as inconvenient as any concept of citizenship, for immigration or for the Presidency.

Nationhood is slowly being stripped away, and with it go Constitutional safeguards.

>Nationhood is slowly being stripped away, and with it go Constitutional safeguards.<

And not a word of protest from Congress. The decline of our nation is even more rapid than that of the Roman Empire.

“Nationhood is slowly being stripped away, and with it go Constitutional safeguards. “

The shame is probably less than 2% of citizens are paying attention to issues like this.

60% of citizens don’t care. 18% care but are too busy just getting along with life.

20% are so left that they can’t wait until the country is brazenly taken over by, and declared a Peoples Republic of the United States.

So sad......

You might not want to rely on Posse Comitatus too much.

H.R. 5122: 109th Congress John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007

Section 1076 -

Revises federal provisions allowing the President to utilize the Armed Forces in connection with interference with federal and state law to allow the President to employ the Armed Forces and National Guard in federal service to restore public order in cases of natural disaster, epidemic or other public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or domestic violence. Requires the President to notify Congress within 14 days of the exercise of such authority. Authorizes the President, when exercising such authority, to direct the Secretary to provide supplies, services, and equipment to persons affected by the situation.
