blah blah blah. Show me where the Constitution delegates the power to either the Congress or the Executive to create a police force.


You don’t think that “provide for the common defence” as an enumerated power of Congress extends to domestic defense?

Article I, Section. 8.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;


“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Police power? Nope. It doesn’t mean that.
