That's the federal statute that he relied on to deploy
National Guard, Federalized National Guard to LA, to Portland and to Chicago.
And with the US Supreme Court case and their recent decision, I believe that door is shut pretty firmly.
And so I don't think he will stop in his efforts to use the military as his private roving national army and police force.
And we'll just find other ways and the Insurrection Act might be that way.
The thing that makes the Interaction Act...
different than the other statute that he used, 10 USC 406 and some other statutes is that it's a exception to the Posse Comitatus Act.
So if he invokes Insurrection Act and deploys military in American cities,
The Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from engaging in civilian law enforcement, it doesn't apply.
The military can engage in civilian law enforcement if the Insurrection Act is invoked.
And the...
president and those around him have a very robust, that's a euphemism, I think it's unlawful, unconstitutional view of federal power when it comes to the military.
I think that they think that they can invoke the Insurrection Act for any reason or no reason at all, and they can't be questioned and courts can't stop them and that it's not reviewable by any judge.
even if there's nothing close to an insurrection.
And let's be clear, there is nothing close to an insurrection anywhere in the United States of America.
There's no basis, not even close to lawfully invoke the Insurrection Act.
But the president wants the power.
That's what he seeks.
And if he says there's an insurrection, he likes the power that comes with it.
and the exception to the Posse Comitatus Act and the ability to move the military into blue cities.
