Contumacious

The Post's position is that as mere mortals we have no right to question the marxist Federal Reserve Board's existence; that right is reserved for someone with solid fascist credentials .

Well, it depends. If you are employed by a government agency or one which was granted coercive monopoly powers by a government agency then that is the typical non productive work which has made the welfare/warfare state famous. If you work for a private entrepreneur enjoy it in good health.

Precisely. However, a cursory list that makes Chris a tad incorrect as to history. Draft riots in NY City Civil War MacArthur and the routing of the Army Pensioners in 1928 ? The use of American troops and planes to subdue the Black Wall Street in the Mid west. The use of Federal Troops at Kent State. The use of Federal Troops in Kansas by Ike The use of Federal Troops by Kennedy. I personally saw, with my own eyes and I have a photo of mobilized federal troops at specific locations during the anti-war march on Washington. And that is just off the top of my head. Watch out for those Coast Guard dudes commin off the Great Lake into Buffalo - HOORAH! Adam Adam; Some corrections: MacArthur's use on troops in DC was in 1932. Eisenhower used Federal troops in Arkansas in 1957. Kennedy used Federal troops at the University of Mississippi in 1962. Finally wasn't there some use of Federal troops in Waco. Yes the Delta Force was there - the FBI should also be considered a paramilitary force.

Yep.

Sending in soldiers to effect an arrest would have violated this law: The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States. The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act during peacetime. The only time to bring in soldiers is when normal law enforcement is unequal to the danger or the task. Ba'al Chatzaf The Posse Comitatus Act is no more. Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free. ~ Federalist Paper No. 8, in which Alexander Hamilton displayed an atypical ardor to defend liberty against state power. "this is Nero at his worst. The Constitution is gone." Those were the trenchant words spoken extemporaneously when Justice James Clark McReynolds read his dissent from the bench U.S. Supreme Court U.S. v. BANKERS' TRUST CO., 294 U.S. 240 (1935) The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of any part of the Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marines, including their reserve components, as a posse comitatus ("armed force") or otherwise to execute the laws, except as authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress. Congress has created a number of statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, which fall into four major categories: (1) insurrections and civil disturbances, [4] (2) counterdrug operations, [5] (3) disaster relief, [6] (4) counter-terrorism and weapons of mass destruction."

True. Specifically enumerated powers is more like it.

Actually not that many. And the cases which mentioned them , their importance is minimized and they avoid mentioning the fact that the judges have no authority to conclude that a particular right is not included therein. I've been a Libertarian since '78 My soul is; my body is in Houston. LOL - well put. My friends long for the Island as well. It is amazing to me, how ignorant Americans are to the "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico". Marin, the Jayuya Massacre, Campos, et al. What do you do in Houston? Adam MD - JD.

Those cases will eventually end up in federal court before "judges" who have never heard of the 9th or 10th Amendments.

BATF vs. States Rights Montana and Tennessee: The Battle Begins Part of a series of moves by states seeking to utilize the Tenth Amendment as a limit on Federal Power, the Tennessee State Senate approved Senate Bill 1610 (SB1610), the Tennesse Firearms Freedom Act, by a vote of 22-7. The House companion bill, HB1796 previously passed the House by a vote of 87-1. Governor Breseden allowed the bill to become law without signing. The law states that “federal laws and regulations do not apply to personal firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition that is manufactured in Tennessee and remains in Tennessee. The limitation on federal law and regulation stated in this bill applies to a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured using basic materials and that can be manufactured without the inclusion of any significant parts imported into this state.”
