#1 Washington calling out the militia and leading it during the Whisky Rebellion.

Posse Comitatus Act was to removed post-Civil War troops from the southern states who where there to protect the rights of recently liberated slaves. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is still on the books.

#2 NG in LA

Gov. Hochul deploys 250 more National Guard members to NYC subways for holiday security

Just a 'tic' on the deployment checklist away from being fully armed and armored.

#3 As long as the NG are funded by the state for their operations, its not covered by Posse Comitatus which only applies to federal forces.

#6 We need to attack and destroy Iran ,and we can't do that with the US president kneecapped by stupid laws.

Do to Iran what we did to Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Regime change followed by neutralizing the military as a force. Israel's neighborhood is a dangerous place and we must do our part to defend the middle east's only democracy and our ally.

#7 Alternatively, consider Title 32 as a mechanism to bypass the Posse Commitatus limitations. CA has extensively used Title 32 for the Active Duty Counter-Drug Task Force for over 30 years, and during the 92 riots the CNG was far more effective before being ordered to a Title 10 Status.

"Is Title 32 a federal status?
Guard members in Title 32 status fall under the command and control of their state or territory governor, but their duty is federally funded and regulated. Traditional Guard members who drill one weekend a month and attend 15 days of annual training during the year do so in a Title 32 status."

#8 Would it be an unlawful order to deploy troops within the US borders armed with the intent to harm or kill citizens? It seems to me the problem is really the unpatriotic and immoral idea that Americans soldiers would harm Americans because some leader told them to. If that is where we are then it is over. There is a “force” out there That wants us divided. We, and Trump, must work on bringing Americans together. Our destruction has been en writ since our founding. United we stand, Divided we fall.
