Wonder how he squares that with the Posse Comitatus Act, whose purpose in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 is to limit the powers of the federal government in using its military personnel to act as domestic law enforcement personnel. This law is often relied upon to prevent the Department of Defense from interfering in domestic law enforcement

Unfortunately, with the Constitution under constant attack, the military’s power, influence and authority have grown dramatically. Even the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which makes it a crime for the government to use the military to carry out arrests, searches, seizure of evidence and other activities normally handled by a civilian police force, has been weakened by both Barack Obama and George W. Bush, who ushered in exemptions allowing troops to deploy domestically and arrest civilians in the wake of alleged terrorist acts.
