What kind of a Democratic candidate for governor is this who calls for the intervention of the federal military in civilian law enforcement?

Summary

Nutrition label

60% Informative

Rep. Robert Safford Hale , a staunch Republican , was fed up in 1878 about the use of federal troops in the South .

The Posse Comitatus Act was the last hope of a 19th-century hope of freedom in the 19th century .

It's relevant again because the once and future president has it in mind to use a loophole in the act to order the American military to engage in his massive round-up of migrants.

Leaving aside the social and cultural chaos this policy will cause, it's going to force a lot of hard choices on the U.S. military, which is probably why Trump rolled this out after announcing his star chamber for senior officers, and after threatening treason prosecutions of senior officers involved in the evacuation of Afghanistan . If the military folds as though it were some wingnut congresscritters from Bugtussle County , I don't know where we go from there..
