The irony of the Posse Comitatus act which could be very helpful to keeping the military out of law enforcement in America now is that when passed in1878 it was to pull Union troops out of the Southern states where they had been active in keeping those states from coming down hard and illegally on their former slaves after defeat in the Civil War.
After the Union troops were pulled out, all hell broke loose for African Americans in those Southern states where humiliated whites were determined to see blacks put "back in their place" which whites proceeded to do from then right on into most of the 20th century. Trumpism is a remnant of this. powered by it.
"States' rights" has traditionally been a southern state Democratic Party effort to secure absolute white authority over African Americans, so it is good to see Posse Comitatus finally (if it actually does so) coming to the rescue of we the people rather than providing freedom for unlimited bigotry for which it was passed.
Thank you, Ken for this interesting and compassionate interview. It has lightened my burden of judgement and blame of the Zionists. What a brave, enlightened man and very skilled in speaking his and my and many millions of America. May truth and peace prevail.
Thank you, this is an incredibly important story. I'm still working through the ruling, but honestly it is very impressive in that it doesn't play around the edges but directly calls out Trump for "creating a national police force with the President as its chief." This is the CENTRAL risk in authoritarianism, and it goes along with Trumps other order establishing specialized units for domestic policing both in the National Guard and separately as a "task force" under the direction of Stephen Miller:
I'm very happy to see this ruling, but I also worry it will lead to complacency. As strong as it is, this won't stop Trump. Court cannot do that, they aren't designed to. All they can do is slow him down and force him to go through procedural steps. But they won't stop anything from happening.
It seems the constant battle in the courts with all its delays and appeals still allows T to do whatever the fuck he wants. Their mantra is to act with impunity, plain and simple.
That's an important insight that too many people neglect. Courts won't stop him, just delay him a bit. Courts don't set the broader political direction of a nation, they just channelize and formalize it a bit, but in the long run without strong political opposition Trump will get where he is going.
