This will not stop one of Roberts’ Obama judges to issue a nationwide TRO against the WH.

I always liked the scene in that spy movie with an older Gene Hackman where he lives in the old building with his cat.

The guys watching him via the satellite are saying “Look up so we can see your face, look up!”

The young spy says “What are you guys going on about?”

“He has to look up so the satellite can see his face.”

“That’s dumb - what good is it if you can’t see his face?”

(Or something like that.)

“Posse Comitatus has its genesis in the administration of Rutherford Hayes.”

Its genius was to relieve the South from military occupation, which it had been under for about twelve years.

Had nothing whatever to do with black citizenship and the general notion that the KKK controlled everything in the South is laughable. The KKK was a secret organization, had to be, because it operated outside the law that existed at that time.

It reminds me of the historical revisionism that blacks could not vote in the South before the Voting Rights Act of 1964. They had been voting by the hundreds of thousands previous to that year, at least here in Louisiana if they so chose.

Less than half of all Americans choose to vote today.

The public schools used to teach that the most important responsibility of federal government was to provide for the common defense of the people. Now they teach about the Santa Claus effect.

He also has the authority to use it against domestic enemies of the Constitution too! People better start getting used to this concept soon!

Why be Commander and Chief if the Lilliputians won’t let you command or be the head honcho?

Bayonets are nice. But I’m a huge believer in the power of artillery.

Not only can there be troops at the border, there is definite conspiracy at multiple levels in California. The conspiracy to establish sanctuaries is reason enough to establish military rule

As an aside, all Americans who give aid and comfort, ilegal legal coaching, funding, organizing these incursions should be tracked, put on no-fly, no border crossing lists. NOT ALLOWED BACK.

Didn’t Clinton violate Posse Comitatis in Waco?

He always complies because of the impeachment predicate. Without violation of a court order, they have no predicate and the SCOTUS may dismiss an impeachment. It doesn’t take much, but they have to have something. Hence, compliance.

The gutless coward RINOcrat-controlled Congress and, starting in January, the traitorous Demonicrat-controlled Congress will not impeach corrupt, Constitution-hating judges.

So lemmee get this straight ...

According to some federal judge in San Francisco (and the Democrat Party), we can send our troops all over the world to defend other people's borders from foreign invasions - but we are helpless to send our own troops to our own border to protect it from foreign invasions and instead must let invaders in and use a completely failed system of "due process"?

... got it!

Hayes was a Republican who won by an electoral college majority and lost the popular vote. Congress was controlled by the Democrats. They pulled the same crap with him as with Trump to a lesser degree.
Federal troops still occupied two states and he had to pull them.

The damn civil war and the Democrat slavocracy along with its appendages like the KKK gave us a horrendous civil war, national destruction, birthright citizenship, posse comitatus,
and the erosion of states’rights.

Posse Comitatus Act was directly created by the Democrat controlled Congress.

Yes, he did and I think that is what Posse is all about-—

firing on American citizens...is what it is all about.

Firing on immigrants is not covered by Posse.

>>And the courts have nothing to do with this.<<

Unfortunately, that never deters the courts. I am waiting to see how much more of executive powers they will snatch without check by Roberts & Co.

“he has the duty !”

Precisely. As Commander in Chief, his primary duty is protection of our borders from any and all invaders, intruders, insurgents, trespassers.

Democrats will find a judge that says he doesn’t. Then like the travel ban and other immigration policy things will continue as before.
