“Overall, the founders wanted to limit the ability of the feds to use military forces against civilians at home. If the Constitution wasn’t clear enough, the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 directly bans the authorities from using federal troops for civilian law enforcement unless authorized by Congress. Trump’s efforts to use federal troops on U.S. soil is an affront to our nation’s Constitution and subsequent legal system. Legalities aside, every freedom-loving American should be appalled by the images of masked federal agents grabbing people at courthouses, tackling elderly citizens, roughing up reporters and marching down city streets.” (10/04/25)
